Big game tomorrow night! Cyclone Nation's focus needs to be on the Big 12 Tourney Champs!

If you find yourself posting in the freaking "Prohm to Alabama" or "Fred to Nebraska" threads... just let them die. Our players don't need the ******** distraction. All that matters is beating OSU. This fan base has bigger things to focus on.

If you're in Tulsa, MAKE SOME ******* NOISE!!!! Get this team to KC and let's roll the dice!

GO CYCLONES!

So I'm an idiot and ended up buying the wrong session tor the games in Tulsa and now have two tickets to session 1 featuring Texas Tech. Problem is Ticketmaster won't let me re-sell them (officially). I thought it was worth a shot to see if anyone knew anyone that was a TTU fan looking for tickets. I can do a transfer and will sell them cheap and take a loss for my stupidity. Upper corner Row A...

I hope to see 4 more wins tomorrow!

Trying to be the 1st team to lose to a 16 two years in a row

This made me laugh out loud.

I'm sure there is a relevant thread I could have replied to for this but couldn't find a recent one. Pretty good read: https://www.desmoinesregister.com/s...n-lard-thankful-coach-steve-prohm/3224054002/

A good reminder that not everything is as bad behind the scenes as gets rumored or look like on the surface. Sounds like Lard and Prohm have a good relationship and Cam himself sounds grateful that Coach hasn't kicked him off the team after all he's done. I really hope this story has a happy ending some day. Sometimes we forget there is more to these players that what goes on during a game and on the basketball court and preparing them for life after basketball and becoming a better person is just as important too.

Fill out an NCAA bracket as who would win in a mascot fight?

This was a fun one to write.

Why post a link about snakes...because why not.

And, it's good publicity for the annual Rattlesnake Roundup in Sweetwater, Texa$.

Dude is fun to watch. Had a triple-double today on Marquette and a sick dunk. I now understand the hype; plus his name is ******* cool.

Surprised to see that there are a lot of reasonably priced tickets for Friday night in Tulsa. I also heard that ISU had not sold their entire allotment. Are fans waiting and hoping for KC?
