We lose by one, and the Big 12 refs screw us over again down the stretch.

At least that’s what I’m preparing myself for.

I actually noticed Hunter was finding openings on the perimeter last night which seemed way more difficult recently although that may have been the opponent.

Also liked Jones finding openings.

Hopefully there was some growth on that end. Now it comes down to finishing at the rim.

Any win is good and this would be much needed.

Grimes, IA
78-64 Cyclones
The team has a chip on their shoulders

78 points is a bold prediction. We've only broke 70 once in conference play and that was against Baylor losing 77-72 and since then we've scored 51 66 and 61. Even against non-conference opponents we only broke 80 four times.

Omaha
Loss and then loss at TTech. 1-5 start.
We do better after that.
Who knows???
Looking at our remaining schedule, what a crapfest of one difficult game after another!!!
TCU won tonight AT K State. They are 11-2! Okie State will beat anybody. There isn't one game where I would say that's a sure win. Well, Missouri. Maybe K State in Ames? We have a chance in every game, but they are all going to be in doubt and a vicious dogfight. Most of our wins from here on will all be close, except maybe the two I mentioned. Well, it makes for an edge of your seat season!

I agree, most games will come down to the end. This is a team of junkyard dogs, I think they will out-will the other team in the final minutes. Consider what we have seen:
Baylor: down 14 points, chance to cut it to 3 if Grill’s corner 3 goes in in the final minutes.
Tech: lost lead late but took control after that
OU: tie game with 5 minutes left, turned into last year’s team after that
KU: trailed by 9 points, took the lead in the final minute. Correct call on goaltending, who knows?

More times than not, I think this team has the mental toughness to get the job done, especially as the schedule gets easier, or less hard.

Don't be afraid to lay up in D.M. Maybe K.C. if your leaving after work. Still talking 5-9 inches on Friday. Sounds like it will be done early enough Sat to have roads travelable to make the game.
