May sound extreme but Texas was one of prob 3-4 teams in country right now playing as well as any team honestly lately. They had won what 4 of last 5 and the loss was a 3pt loss @OU...There were parts of that game that Texas just wanted it more and it seemed all lose balls were being grabbed by Texas but the last 5 min these guys just turned it up and said we arennt fading like this. First place may be out of reach but 2nd and 3rd place are not...We are 1 game out of 3rd place.

I believe this team will steal one of @baylor or @WV and win out at home and enter @KU with a chance to lock up 3rd or 2nd place possibly..This is by far the toughest conference in the country not just RPI but the round robin makes it so. With Tech winning tonight I think they will be the 7th team in NCAA tourney...7 that's 70% of the conf and that's ridiculous.

It May not show up in the stat book but McKay made some very subtle hustle plays at the end of that game to seal the victory.

Burton has started to find his groove and is becoming a legit go to guy at times and that's huge toward end of year. The season hasn't turned out maybe lie we thought but all that matter right now is how this team plays these last 6 games entering tourney.

If McKay can be the McKay of tonight, our good is as good as anyone.
It was gratifying to win a game and not have a cardiac event.
Need KU to drop a few weird ones.

Maybe, but it's just as likely the rollercoaster will continue.

this game wasn't a season changer.....but a win at Baylor would be.

With two winnable home games after before Ku....be nice to run off 4 straight.

Season changing win until the next wake up call loss.

Seen it all before. Not being cynical, that's just college basketball.

Hope we get hot at the right time in a few weeks.

Are you serious?? Texas is nothing and we held on. Season changing?? Wow! Good luck with that. I am seriously hoping to finish in the top half of the big 12. Is it too much to expect this great team to deliver a 10+ point win at some point?? The tide drifted our way tonight but I was still not sold that we were in complete control

While I think the op is going overboard, the amount of stupid in this post hurts.

Well we should feel really good then we held on for a 10 point win!!! This team is drifting more and more to "I need to get mine" and it will continue to show-----Abdul is going for his...Burton too, and less and less movement of ball, team play and a lot more 1x1 get me mine. I was not impressed tonight but it is a good win against a mediocre Texas team

B12 is tough dude... We're going to end up with a great B12 record and in the top tier with a lot of REALLY good teams. We let a few slip through our fingers but so have so many other teams. Parity across the nation is good.
