I like @Al_4_ISU, and I generally like his Cyclones. But this week, they can all take a ride down a slide of razorblades into a pool of lemon juice and salt.

[The_Great_Hornsby 3319]

Texas wins in controversial fashion on a last second bucket

[Pato del Muerto 52232]

I like the years where they come to Austin with a good team and get their teeth kicked in, like the tinsley and fredie Williams game or the game where Maurice Evans went ham.  Let’s do that again.

Yeah, I mean that's what happens more often than not.  Off the top of my head I can only remember 2 wins in Austin.  2005 and 2015.  Better ISU teams lost in Austin than either of those.

Went ham?

All 5 remaining home games are must wins. If we drop a home game we’ll need to pull off a big road upset

Home:

ISU
WV
KSU
OSU
OU

Road:

UH
KU
Tech
Baylor

Scary, but not impossible to go 5-4 there. I hope we don't live to regret blowing the UCF game at home or the WV game in Morgantown. 

5-4 gets us to 9-9 (20-11) regardless of Big 12 tournament
4-5 gets us to 8-10, which probably gets us in (19-12) if we win 1 Big 12 tournament game

We've already kicked the shit out of two teams in games that we went into as road dogs. 

We also made UCONN sweat at a neutral site (which was a virtual road game).

There aren't any "must win" games - just need to find a way to get to 9-9 or so.

I think 8-10 gets us in regardless of the Big 12 tournament considering our Q1 wins so far, but if stuff gets crazy on the bubble then maybe we are sweating slightly. 

For reference, TCU went 8-10 in 2021-2022 with a non conference SOS very similar to ours this year. They got a 9 seed.

[HookEm 2436]

Massey has us with a 59% chance of winning tonight.  Projecting 70 to 67, good guys.

As an aside, Massey has us finishing the year with 4.8 wins, 4.2 losses (by adding the probabilities).  Or 5-4 if we win when we are favorites.

W tonight would be YUGE

Was 2005 the year it went to OT and you guys scored like 40 in 5 minutes?

Yep, you are 2-19 on the road versus Texas

I guess maybe we could schedule you in 2025 to keep the every 10 year ISU win in Austin going?

yep.  would be creeping very close to top 20 in kenpom with a win tonight.  

[HalfSack Horn 149]

So what’s the go to link wise for getting LHN stream?  Should I check sportsurge and those like that?  

[ztejas 43190]

Win tonight and I feel very good about us dancing.

[Al_4_ISU 12394]

Yes. Our 6th man (Tasheed Carr) went ballistic from 3.

[shadow_operative 15931]

let’s do this. 🤘🏼

I'm rolling with this one.....  https://mrgamingstreams.com/247/longhornnet

[MotownHorn 1724]

We got that ref crew y'all don't like again

[VinyVango 677]

Make the Slav run around and guard weaver on defense … don’t want him getting too comfortable

[Js1 84995]

Typical start. Again 

[ztejas 43190]

Tyrese how the fuck do you smoke that that badly.

[OU Sucks 8743]

Tyrese is great at missing 3 foot shots

[David Dennison 18487]

Good lord.

[Js1 84995]

How is this team always so unprepared 

[HuntinHorn 975]

Sucking hind tit....

[MotownHorn 1724]

Perfect time to put a little bit on the ML...

Deep down you and everyone here know the answer

[Js1 84995]

Ace-miss so far 

[ztejas 43190]

We aren't good when we shoot like shit from 3.

Edited February 7 by ztejas

[VinyVango 677]

We got guys afraid to shoot the 2 foot shot and a lot of panicky passing

[OU Sucks 8743]

[ztejas 43190]

Honestly we look okay. Nothing has gone right so far. Just need to string a couple buckets and stops together. 

[Hookem2147 20876]

I would hope we can’t stay this cold shooting all game 

[Horn80 6054]

Almost looks like Texas is fatigued.

[David Dennison 18487]

On pace for 28 points.

[Horn80 6054]

RT needs fresh legs.  Horton hasn’t played much recently maybe he will be fresh and provide scoring also get Onyema in.  

[ztejas 43190]

That's on uncalled offensive foul on 12's bitchass. Chick ref missed it.

Chick ref hates us more than she hates men.

[Js1 84995]

Mitchell running the break and getting immediately trapped and turning it over

[Blotto 23366]

these teams look like its their first time playing basketball

[ClubWhatever 12082]

Cue yakety sax 

[ztejas 43190]

Tyrese is a 50 pound anchor around this team's neck. He's 0/4 with 1 assist and 0s across the stat sheet. 

I want anyone blaming Terry for fucking anything to acknowledge how useless this guy is for massive stretches.*

*A junior guard that Beard recruited, btw

THIS IS A TERRIBLE LINEUP COMBO TERRY
