Oh well, just come out focused in the second half and this will be a W.

All in all, we weathered that horrible start pretty well. Lets see if we have a Kansas or Vanderbilt 2nd half now. Texas missing alot of free throws helped us get back in it quickly.

I feel like we've all been thinking that the last 4-5 seasons.
Agreed, I don't know how many teams go down by 15+ and pull out the win more than ISU. The fun part is being at those games when people leave early (ahem, Oklahoma game) and cheering the comeback.

Fortunately, I've become immune to stress being an ISU fan. My wife doesn't understand how I can just sit calmly and watch games like this and on Saturday.

That's your line. And you would have said it Saturday. and you would have been wrong then and you may be wrong tonight.
He says it every game. I still remember him saying we stood no chance against NC Central when we crushed them in the opening round a few years ago. This guy is just a bad fan.

Anybody else feel like Naz was the one that woke the team up? He pushed the ball up quick and got some tempo going. I love that guy and will miss him next year.

Remember the WVU game we were up 27 and almost blew it. Up big on KSU and almost blow it.

Down double digits against countless teams and come back.

We are the team of extremes, its nuts

Georges lost twice to Texas Tech teams that were WAY worse than this Texas team. He didn't keep teams from being terrible against trash teams.

Those Tech teams werent near as bad as Texas. Everyone thinks they were because it was Tech but they at least had .500 records when we lost to them. Texas is 9-13.

No worries at halftime. Burton is an enigma, Monte and Matt get hot, and we'll burn the nets scoring 50 plus points second half to bring home the win. Relax.

He wears pink shoes in honor of his mother who died of breast cancer. Has nothing to do with ego.


Maybe, maybe not. Maybe he goes with pink for his mom, but goes with excessively pink shoes for extra attention, who knows, whatever. We've been so spoiled by the Niangs, where he was so consistent and we knew what we were gonna get, every game and every shot he took, seemed to make sense.
