Have to do something about bob at the 5, it's just a horrible matchup for him, have to change that.

I know how to make Dorothy fly.

I thought you were leaving for good when Curtis hit a 3? Get the **** out

Nah I said I’d delete my account if he hit a three in the Baylor game and he finished 0/2 lmao. I’m so glad you think about me tho

I know this isn't going to make any of you guys feel any better, but I feel like we are just a bad matchup for you guys. The thing is, there aren't really any other teams like us and you aren't going to be playing us again anytime soon. You guys still have a WAY higher ceiling in the NCAA tournament than we do. Elite defense takes you far. We live and die by the three, and there is no way we put together 3 consecutive games where we can sustain that, let alone four or five. You guys have a much better shot at the Final Four. Again, I get that you guys don't care right now, but we honestly hope you guys and a couple of other Big 12 teams represent in March.

Loan us one of your shooters will you

I get we’re all frustrated. BYU is probably going to be a 5/6 seed and is a terrible matchup. I don’t know what people expected, but this is hardly a shocking result.

At home for a 2 seed?

 

[fsanford]

Whats with all the short shots off the front of the rim?

No legs

If only "shut the F up" to count as foul and abusive language.

This. We pass up so many open 3s to instead drive it and get blocked it makes my head hurt.

They'd probably get blocked on the perimeter too.

BYU looks like they have about 1 foot on ISU's guards everywhere.

I know it's only a few inches but it makes a difference in simply getting a shot off.

Maybe it's because we haven't won a Senior night game since 2017, but I had a bad feeling about this game going into tonight.

 

[twincyties]

This is going to be an annual thing. Guys hit the wall. Defense falls off because ere completely gassed and we don’t have the offensive power to pull through it.

You can see other teams getting better while we are regressing.

We face TX first game of Big 12 and we get bounced. Do not see us winning two in the dance.

We’ll be a 3 seed now, not in Omaha, and I think any six seed beats us right now.

 

[madguy30]

Oh the good ole days!

Being down at 20 at half?

Dorothy is DEAD and the special effects aged HORRIBLY!

Seriously!!! Hit your shots Men!!

 

[jspeels]

How many times did Settles correctly say— that should have been a foul call? We got to get at least a little home cooking in the second half.

When have we gotten home cooking from refs?? I can’t recall it happening

 

[Cyclonepride]

He’s really clogging things up on offensive side though.

If we don’t start getting stops, we’re not going to outscore them. Plus some offensive boards could make up for it.

 

[Marcelason78]

Saunders and Robinson were 9/9 in the first half. Turn Watson and Ward loose on these guys.

 

[AlaskaCoug]

we need your shooting coach!

Eh, it's more recruiting. Because of our honor code we are stuck with mostly white, unathletic Utah guys who can shoot but not do much else...other than work hard I guess? It's also why you guys have a higher ceiling than we do.

 

[jctisu]

We win this one 69-67 on a buzzer beater.
