TCU has lost three nail biters at home recently to TX, OSU, & WVU. They lost all of these games either on the last shot or last 90 secs. They are playing much better ball this year. Actually only Baylor has blown them out. They also didn't play an extremely good game the first time against ISU. All of the three close loses have also been at home where they consistently play a little better. This game is not a given. Sisters need to bring their best.

I agree, this team should take absolutely nothing for granted. If TCU comes out hard and plays aggressive defense, uses its bench to their advantage, they have a good chance. We need to come out at least equally aggressive.

This is another game where they are doing the 5 GA tickets for $5 promotion. For those interested, contact the ticket office before 5 pm tonight.

Is anyone else tired of bottom dwellers in the Big 12 not really being bottom dwellers....well, maybe Tech this year, but I think even Tech will have a hot game and beat someone.

No easy games, but Rulzzz has a good record in recent official game day thread starts. I agree that this TCU team is getting better - close games against good teams. But, they're weakerr on the road. Medley scored 29 to keep close to WVU. Somebody will be assigned to make sure that doesn't happen to us. Loving will get more boards and blocks than we'd like. Even after that slump, (it's over) we average 75 pts to their 65. They will try to defend the 3 - and force us to drive against Loving. I trust our offense is working.

Website has Jadda in the starting lineup. I thought coach said he'd start Kidd. That seemed to work for both of them last time. We'll see soon.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Really sparse crowd tonight. :sad:

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

Refs need some real "guidance" on watching for contact instead of calling fouls based on the offensive player's flopping.

 

[BoxsterCy]

Really sparse crowd tonight. :sad:

Really sparse crowd here also!

 

[abcguyks]

Score?

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

60-58 15.9 to go ISU is up

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

And we're now down 61-60 with 5,3 to go. Ugh

 

[Ms3r4ISU]

That's how it ends.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

BS! We got ****ed!

 

[Cyclonepride]

Well ****

 

[BoxsterCy]

Another really bad home loss against a team that was 1-3 on the road this year. Going to need more toughness than this team seems to have to make the NCAAs even with us hosting.

And spare me the anticipated whining about officiating that is coming in the post game thread.

 

[isuno1fan]

This team isn't going to the NCAAs. Pretty sad too after the start to the season.
