Bumping to keep on first page.

Felt like this needed bumping all day ahead of the Hawk football troll thread that is all the rage. Not sure why that didn't just become a Spiderman thread. We have a game tonight, Cyclone fans!

No one likes the basketball team anymore. It's funny that there is 100X more blind optimism for our crappy football team on a game by game basis than there is for our awesome basketball team lol.

I asked the Google for "Best message board post ever" and just copy/pasted it.

Seems like Felix always kills us, I think even with Ridley, the matchup between guards would be the biggest of the game. If Morris and Thomas outplay Taylor and Felix I think we win. I think people forget Texas put up 61 points of the 2nd half at Hilton last year, Felix lead the charge.

Hmmmm, I don't remember Felix ever killing us. I remember his ill-advised shot with 6 or 7 seconds left in the Texas game in the big 12 tourney is what allowed Monte to hit the game winner.

See the 2nd half of last years game in Hilton, UT scored 61 points on us, he lead the charge. I believe he and Taylor had nearly half of those 61 in the 2nd.

I remember finding him annoying so he must have been doing something well.

Felix seems to chuck some late shot clock heaves in. He's never "killed" us. He's just kept TU closer than they would have been had he not got those lucky shots to drop.

So how messed up are we going to be with the KU/WVa game now at the half?

I'd say 15 minutes over.

Depends. If KU is up by 5 or more with 5 minutes left then we'll get on ESPN2 at about HT of our game. If WVU is ahead or it's close then probably 15 minutes late.

 

[Cyclonesince78]

Hopefully we'll start on ESPN news.

Weird, during the KU-WVU game they showed an info graphic at the top right of the screen and it said we were playing on the normal ESPN.

Damn WV looking good.

My TV says that is Maryland/Michigan.

It is. We play on ESPN2 but I thought it was interesting that they would mess that up. Not a big deal but its my OCD showing.

 

[NoCreativity]

We are going to miss the entire first half.
