Keep it together and win next two at home, and this team can still be set up to make some post season noise. Need to play team ball on both ends of the floor. Getting Grill back close to 100% would be big too. I’m still a believer.
*** Official #23 IOWA STATE vs #8 Texas (SAMSUBA) Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
I don’t understand why the subs didn’t get more playing time in tonight’s game. Why not give them game experience that could pay dividends later.
Plus a few of the 3 and 4 seeds we are competing with have been losing too (Tenn, Xavier, Indiana)
We need Caleb in there to take shots away from Gabe.
Well u have to start by having one legendary player this millennium and then never shut the f*** up about how great you are even tho you are objectively NOT great at any point other than that one year. Then you get a bunch of idiots to believe you. Then you hold a bunch of better programs hostage while you lose to them. Bonus points if you do this in the state of texas.
Then you call ESPN. Then, you profit. Then you back ur way into the SEC. Then you profit even more.
Next 2 games feel extremely important.
Well, on to Oklahoma. I worry that our crowd will be even worse than the OK State game last week, especially since it’s an 11AM tip. Can’t lose that game if we want to avoid playing on Wednesday in the Big 12 tournament.
Oklahoma just shot 9/33 from three point range in their loss against Tech today. So, naturally, they’ll shoot 70% from 3 against us.

Nova with a win at Xavier, is gonna help the Net. Need Carolina to win a couple year.
The top 2 seed lines are strong after that it's a very mixed bag
Will see how much drive the Sooners have. These last 2 games they were playing for NCAA tourney lives. Those are gone. Will see how much intensity they have
Agree.
We are not a top 5 team.....therefore, no way we sting together a bunch in a row...if we can, need to do it in March. Certainly lots of things for us to work on, but also the big 12 grinder is real.
Yes ... not easy to swallow/absorb after getting dominated, but Indiana lost at MSU, Xavier lost at home to Nova, Tennessee lost at A&M ... all of those are "worse" than losing at UT.
Marquette and K-State got a leg up on us at least short-term (MU won at Creighton; KSU def. BU).
It’s kinda funny how last year we had a much better non conference and we’re 7-11 in the big 12 and ended up an 11 seed, and this year a much worse non conference and 8-6 in the Big 12, but projected a 4 seed.
