We’re a two seed no matter the outcome of this game. Winning twice against arguably the best team in the country and closing out the regular season on a win is huge for this team and their confidence going into the dance. We need this one.

Inside. At various concession stands. They have really improved the food in the last few years. Though they got lazy with assigning food to schools. The one they assigned to us is a Green Chili Pork Walking Taco! Not a pork tenderloin? Or a state fair corndog? Lazy.
Alright, same game parlay today. Here’s what I’ve got:
Bet $10
Win $262.78
ISU +5.5
ISU first half moneyline
Over 56.5 first half points
ISU +2.5 second half spread
Over 62.5 first half alternate points
Under 63.5 points for Houston
No overtime (figured why not because it added $8 to the parlay and seems harmless)

Whatever happens in today's game, I pray for no injuries.
Kinda love this, definitely tailing. Also, bet365 has some player prop options so i have a whole 3 pt makes parlay today. $5 pays $811. Trying to pay for omaha tickets today!
We have better depth. They have Cryer, Sharp and Shead. We win because for first time in his career Jamal Shead actually doesn't hit every clutch shot down the stretch (or at least that is what happens in my dreams). Dude is unreal. I hope we can contain him.
Win or lose this has been a fun tournament.

Do you have a referral bonus? My bet is on FanDuel so willing to make a bet on 365 and can figure you can get a referral bonus if there is one.
I have been to both sights for the big 12 men’s tournament the 3 times in Dallas and the 2 times in Oklahoma City no they don’t support basketball well keep it in kcmo
We held him relatively in check in January. He had 14 but was 5-15, if we can make him inefficient again and not let him get to the free throw line, we'll win.
It's going to be a rowdy one in Hilton South tonight, Go Cyclones!
Depending on what other teams do, winning might make us the 5th/6th best resume instead of 6th-8th best resume.
Is that the thought of everyone? Cool but not really that valuable for tournament, rather cool to be 6-0 in Big 12 tournament.
KU has like a 15-2 lead on us for outright conference championships yet we’re in second place…but we could hypothetically catch them in Big 12 Tournament trophies. It would be our 6 to their 12. Still would take a couple decades of amazing basketball, but it wouldn’t be impossible. We also really cement having second most because OK St with 2 is the only remaining team with multiple.
KU: 12
ISU: 5
OK St: 2
Leaving OU: 3
Leaving Texas: 2
Left Missouri: 2
EVERYBODY ELSE NEW AND OLD: ZERO
I would be shocked if they play Watson, even if he has cleared protocol. Get him fully healed for the NCAAs. And like you suggest, Omaha getting 15 min against this level of competition is going to pay dividends somewhere down the road.
Need?
Blowing out KSU and Baylor while figuring some things out will already do wonders. A win over UH would be terrific, but they're a 1 seed playing for top overall seed. We don't lose anything if we don't win. Just avoid injuries.
As you said, we clinched 2 seed with last night's win, so we're not playing to improve seeding.
FWIW I think we win tonight between the crowd and Houston's injuries.
The only thing I dont love, is the last time we played houston it seemed to take a month before we got our mojo back. dont love that right before ncaa tourney
Not expecting a win but it’s certainly possible. I like our chances way more than when we played at their place.
I think we’ll keep it close but Houston is damn good.

On offense, but our defense has continued to show up. We'll have 4-5 days of rest before playing a 15 seed mid major. We're out of the Big 12 grind after tonight.
I feel better about things since Thursday, especially after last night's game. Good team offense, and Milan saw some 3s go in.
Of course, win or lose tonight, NCAA tourney shenanigans could render this debate moot quickly.
