This game had a strange feeling to it while watching. They were with us until around 4-5 minutes to go, but even at the the beginning, when we were down, I never once had that feeling that this game would get away from us. It seemed like the end of the game would go the way it actually played out. TCU plays good for awhile, but at the end, it looked like we just said, alright, you guys tried, but we're going to go ahead and close this thing out. Extremely happy to be 21-5.........21-5!!!!!! Sure has a nice ring to it.

A pretty solid performance. The only thing ugly was our shooting outside of the paint and how Big 12 refs continue to swallow the whistle when Kane drives.

As bad as their record is, TCU is not completely void of talent and they do a good job at slowing down the game. A point guard who can shoot and get in the lane any time he wants can keep you in it for awhile. This game went as expected all things considered.

I think we won because we rely on the three, Georges played against Noel and Kane gets the foul called every time he goes in the lane. Nice.

First off.....without DeAndre, ISU absolutely loses this game. Anyone with Twitter should send him a note thanking him for choosing ISU.

I will never figure this team out. They always seem to start slow. They go to Okie State and Provo and pull off big wines. They even played pretty well at KU. But they go to TCU and it takes them 30 minutes of game time to wake up.

The Baylor and K-State games are going to be tough, and Okie State and WVU are not going to be easy even at Hilton.

I really hope they can pick it up, just to get ready for the NCAAs and to get the best seeding possible.

We are best when we drive the ball. The first ten minutes we did not drive much.

We are best when the big three all get over 20 points and the supporting casts add another 20.

Did Bubu get the assist for the basket that got us to 71 points? The box score says Bubu got one assist,

Found a negative to discuss, I see.

But its true. Apparently you live in dreamland. No negatives in your life huh ZigZiglar? This team is HORRIBLE at outside shooting but im sure you think we're going to the final four. He is right, Jupiter and Pluto were aligned and Brick Thomas actually made a few 3's. Otherwise we would have been blown out. I love I-State but you can't let your heart think for you. It is going to be very rough in the tourney so don't be shocked by an early exit.

We won a conference game on the road by 11 to go 4 games over 500 in the best conference in the land. We are 21-5 and closing in on a top 3 seed in the Big XII tourney. What part of that are you going to complain about?
