Cyclone tv works with no problems with 3 tabs open and refreshing message boards every minute.

Agree. I've dabbled with the varisity app over the past 2-3 years. Some times it works, sometimes it doesn't. Cyclone.tv has always been more reliable. [remove any ad blockers and clear your memory cache periodically]

And I am agreeing with you…

Unless you meant CW as Hawk-like?

Yeah not saying you are.

If anyone goes thar route it doesn't hold up.

If it were the play in games, then maybe.

 

[Cyched]

Do they? I feel like with that performance they will have a good shot at winning tomorrow.

Yeah didn’t think we played bad at all, beyond the normal ebbs and flows of a basketball game.

 

[jctisu]

Ok enough dissecting this idiotic discussion. Basketball is basketball.

Next week we either show up and win or we don’t. There’s nothing else previous that plays into anything unless you would sustain an injury like Niang in the tournament.

Let’s win this thing tomorrow and get ready for the Big Dance. Great win tonight!

ISU was, I think, 0-2 in Big 8 tourneys before they beat Kansas with Willoughby and Cato. I know one of the Hoiberg teams lost to Big Country/OSU in a final.

So 6-2 overall?

 

[madguy30]

No sh!t. They will have at least 4 days of rest. That's easier than the conference schedule. Plus, they will play a mid major first round and a 7 or 10 seed two days later. Fatigue is not a factor. Every team is "fatigued" at this point. Don't forget about the "they had too much time off" excuse by the way.

They could also come out and play really well that first round and just get beat by a team that had a day.

They should totally make like lottery type bracket contests for it sibce it's so unpredictable!

Not sure how you can play much better than a handful of TOs, 50% from 3 and holding a really good offense to 62 points

96, final big 8 tournament

Looks like we won all three games by a total of 7 points. Floyd specials - games in the 50s mostly.

Kinda crazy when you look back and there was only (edit) 20 big 8 tournaments.

 

[mynameisjonas]

When our offense gels, we are such a damn good team.

 

[StLouisClone]

Probably not but let’s beat #1 and see if an unranked NC State can upset N Carolina and make the committee have a decision

If ISU wins tomorrow, I think we'll be the 2 seed in the West where North Carolina will be the 1 seed. That may be the case no matter what happens tomorrow.

 

[cyclimate]

Kinda crazy when you look back and there was only like 14 big 8 tournaments.

Lost in finals in 85 and 86 and then 93 or 94. Did win the last Big 8 in 96 with Floyd

Really? Only started in '75 or so, then?

77 - 96

5 days of rest clearly did us some good coming into this tournament. We’ll get the same going into NCAA.

That’s a good amount of rest for 18-22 year olds. Unless there are significant injuries (like KU) this “shut it down for the Big 12” doesn’t look like a great theory right now.

 

[CyNews]

I’m not taking your bait. I love Gilbert. He has lots to his game and he also has a tendency to force things especially when the offense is struggling.

Looks like you answered the question. Plays great defense too.

 

[CyNews]

There’s a difference between creating and getting yourself in trouble with no outlet.

Whew. So much to dissect.

It's never been a good theory.

 

[hoosman]

Best 40 minute game by the entire team in long time. Milan and Gilbert stepped it up a notch. No one had a bad night. Good defense, offense, hustle, motion, pressure, rebound effort, passing, driving against a solid opponent.

 

[twincyties]

Keshon 12 assists, 3 TOs and 8 steals so far in this tourney. 48% FG and 10-12 from the line. I’m Convinced that we go as he goes.
