They had a clip of the Okie St game on the screen in Hilton Wow their attendance was SAD.
A couple of things:

First...they should have NEVER expanded GIA. It was so cool and loud and intimidating back in the day even though it only held like 6k.

Second...it goes for OU too. Ever since the Thunder came to OK the attendance at those college games just plummeted. Okie State needs a new coach.

Just listened to Heft on kxno and I may need to see a doctor in four hours. Comps to the 2000 team and hearing how well they get along and Final 4 talk with the calendar turning to March tomorrow. Mercy!

Final Four talk? Since it hasn't happened in my life...I am not going to get worked up too much about that! Have enjoyed this season tremendously and want it to last much longer..but wow...just win the next game and enjoy it! I get it though...we are fans and it is fun to think about that...however...

Same for me. What happens in the tournament happens. Obviously I'm hoping for a deep run, but I also know that you can't predict anything in March. Teams with great chemistry, great regular seasons, and great tournament prospects, bow out early every single year. It would be awesome see the elite 8 or better, but I won't let myself have any expectations of that.

Yep, I just don't trust the offense enough and nightmares of the Pitt game from last year ring in my head.

Clearly anything can happen but this doesn't worry me.
I worry about running into a BYU type team that lives by the 3 point line, and gets hot and we lose 85-83 or something.

But also agree with others that I'm just enjoying the ride at this point. This has been an incredible season, and really other than 2 early season games in Orlando, there hasn't been much of anything to be disappointed about.

It would be a sight to be seen on Welch and in my living room if we made the Final Four.

Yep. I remember a lot of people picking ISU as a dark horse Final 4 team in ‘14-‘15, only to flame out in the first round against UAB. I’m just enjoying the ride.
