Yep first game of tourney (minus first 4)
Couldnt really watch basketball the rest of the season.
Give me a Thursday mid afternoon/early evening game as my perfect time slot.
Edit: the only thing that helped was Baylor lost right after as a 3 and think a 2 went down the same day.
The Hampton loss did that to me. But, the year of the UAB loss, ISU's Achilles' Heal was strong big men. UAB played THREE of them against us and totally shut down the paint. It wasn't so much an upset, than a really bad match up for that particular ISU team.
I think he took himself out because the game was in hand at that point.
We don’t mention some games here without trigger warnings.
Yep win Big 12 tourney, get the first game on Thursday, they beat the crap out of us on the glass, we go cold, Fred gets nervous, game over.
Good thing is that Curtis only got 28 minutes today, assuming he’s healthy he should be fairly well rested.
Also interesting we played a lot with Heise and Milan in together. I don’t remember that happening a ton before.

This, 100%. Tamin will go all out unless he's in severe pain, so make the decision for him. Give both those guys a full eight or nine days with every bit of therapy we can think of.
My only concern is that a loss to BYU might bump us to a 4 seed. That is a disaster!
I got a vasectomy the day before UAB. Was all excited for 4 straight days of watching ball on the couch. Instead, I didn’t even want to watch after the very first game.
I was (obviously) about the calling for my opinion part, but not about sitting Lipsey. I love winning games in KC as much as anyone but we can't hit our ceiling as dinged up as we are. We're not going to get to 100% at this point but I would trade a win or two this weekend if it gave us a chance of getting healthier for a run starting next week. On the flip side, a week of rest probably doesn't make a dent on a groin issue, so whatever.
Lipsey playing or not playing tomorrow doesn't determine his toughness. That's never been in question.
I'd bet a lot of money that it won't. The committee would have to throw out the importance of our injuries entirely as a factor.
I think today might’ve solidified a 3. We’ve been a three everywhere and these tournaments usually don’t mean much for movement outside of stealing bids.
The Notre Dame game was a nice slot. Can’t recall if that was Friday though? Was that Aaron Craft?
Same weekend. That was Friday night. Early session if my memory is correct. Then on Sunday we were the first game and stand alone game against Craft.
I feel like tourneys *mostly* are able to help teams ie, Cincy makes it to the final, strengthens their bubble.
Believe so or close to it. I was at a friend's party so was kind of watching but socializing so didn't see everything.
I looked up, ISU up 11 or so.
Then I looked up, and the thing happened, and then the other thing happened and I sat there stunned in the middle of a bunch of people that didn't really follow basketball.
The next day I was hungover and it was snowy, cloudy, cold, and grey which fit perfectly.
That's about as positive a spin I can put on that whole sequence haha.
