  1. Yeah, it appears that your peak was in Ames a few weeks ago. Not going int he right direction, obviously. Would help everyone out a lot if yall can get it right for the Baylor game in Stillwater next week...
  2. What amazes me about Kansas and Self is that they got absolutely boat-raced by TCU at home last month, 83-60. TCU looked a million times more talented and athletic than Kansas that day. And the entire conference schedule is just a ball buster, so you'd expect things to not be exactly in KU's favor in FW last night. And TCU manages to score 58 points at home and gets out-rebounded, with Miles and Lampkin back, a game after scoring 100 on OSU. Keep in mind, that this is also after KU comes back in a huge way against Baylor just two days earlier. I doubt we would see anyone else in the league do this...but Self shows again why he's the best coach in college hoops.
  3. I’ve seen this movie before…KU takes first by themselves or with someone, then we watch ISU go all in at Hilton South and win the Big 12 Tournament…and then when everyone calls them a Final Four dark horse, they’ll get beat by some midmajor in the 1st round.
  4. Beard was done the moment he got arrested. No way that this university is keeping on staff a man who has hurt a woman, even if this got cleared. As a matter of fact, except Rapelor, there aren’t many places that would even entertain letting go ever get near campus ever again.
  5. 12-6 is probably the most likely finish for the top teams in the league. Just too tough on the road against so many of these teams, especially if TCU gets healthy with Miles and Lampkin. My guess is that UT and KU finish 12-6, BU, 11-7, ISU 10-8, KSU, and TCU get to 10-8. OSU is 9-9. WVU has 5 games left and I think 8 regular season conference wins gets them into the Tournament, especially if they win their first game in the Big 12 Conference Tourney. I just don’t think OU or Tech have enough winnable games left to be anything more than a NIT team.
  6. Not to mention that ACU had the talent of an above average rec team at your favorite Big 12 campus.
  7. Unbelievable…don’t get your team at all.
  8. NO sarcasm at all--except for the Big 12 Tournament that brings out the best in ISU hoops for some weird reason, y'all seem very mercurial every season.
  9. So a little closer to being done ever having to play Baylor in any major sport ever again…they can enjoy trips to UH and Tech…
  10. Man, ISU basketball must be so frustrating to follow…
  11. I want to believe...help my unbelief. It feels like it shouldn't be worse than last year. I mean, no way should we expect a 6-game losing streak or a loss to Kansas, right? But the nagging feeling that Sark is in way over his head, just as I felt watching Strong in his second season and Herman by his third season, keeps hanging in there. Changing coaches again would not be ideal, but its also inevitable if another 5-win season rolls around.
  12. KU is the only piece that the B1G will want from the next iteration of the Big 12. If KU can make their football program anything above worst P5 program, their hoops program, AAU membership, and KC market will make them the next B1G piece
  13. Shaka Smart owes Bill Self a lot of money. If VCU loses to KU that year they made the final four, Shaka ain’t even known outside of Richmond../
  14. Tech could make a Final Four run…or lose in the first round. They are really unpredictable. Love their defense and their coach, but their offense can be a bit lethargic.
  15. Completely agree--the fact that Baylor and Scott Drew have a natty is as ridiculous to me as the fact that Texas hasn't come close to winning one ever.
  16. Hold on, some SMU fan said it was not that great while watching on TV… AFH is the best place for CBB and it’s not even close.
  17. I think Baylor wins this outright by beating ISU, KU beats TCU, but loses to Texas on Saturday for the 2 seed, but Tech loses at OSU to stay as the 3 seed, TCU loses at WVU and will be the 5 seed, and OU loses at KSU, which will make the 6 seed ISU, the 7 seed KSU, the 8 seed OU, and 9 seed WVU. Final is Tech vs Baylor with Baylor winning.
  18. I mean, Otz would just be following in the line of Prohm, Hoiberg, and Eustachy. All 3 have won tourneys for ISU at Hilton South.
  19. I don’t know about being less physically gifted Tech and Kansas. Tech just plays harder than anyone else I’ve seen this year and KU is SOFT. Baylor is definitely better though…
  20. ISU fans plan their vacations around going to KC for this. It’s the darndest thing. They will win that damn thing at Hilton South, then lose immediately most years in the NCAA Tournament. Rinse and repeat in years when ISU is good.
  21. It’s so sad to see GIA in Stillwater with about half the capacity of when they were great…
  22. Man, your guys look like they ran as hard as you can right into a brick wall. Big XII play is so tough...
  23. Kansas is SOFT in the paint...McCormack and Lightfoot are not that good. Their strength comes from their perimeter guys also being able to rebound and run out. They score a lot because of those backcourt guys being able to pass, drive and shoot well. I'd give them all the shots int he paint they wanted if it means they don't make jumpers. Their bigs will turn it over a lot if you can bait them into pounding it down to them. I think the Horns win this one, rather easily, too. I see a 10+ point victory.
