I was hoping auburn would would the same effect.. they played well again.
Agreed it helps them that they are still a great offensive team without him. They are best in the country without a doubt. They will also have a game they won’t shoot well on the road and lose. No one is going undefeated in league play in the SEC, Big 12, Big 10, Big East…Duke might but that’s because the ACC is awful.

WVU is very lucky they don’t have a return visit to Hilton. The terribleness we saw from the clones today won’t happen again. A royal butt kicking would be in order.
I miss the round robin greatly. I'll take a regular-season conference championship of course, but to quote the SEC, "it just means more" when you're playing home-and-aways with every other team in the league. The unbalanced schedules are lame.

Between the teams that look like the top 4 teams in the Big 12 this year (Iowa State, Houston, Kansas, Arizona), we are the only one that has to play the other three on the road.

Do we tell them about that night in Boise?

The 04 Mizzou football game? The next year? The '97 UCLA Sweet Sixteen?

Like at least 30 other football games?
I’ve been to almost every ISU football game since the day I was born. I know all about the pain and suffering of being a Cyclone fan. Still a a truly pathetic loss.

Basketball's not like football where you have to win ~every game or else the season's f*cked. My concerns after tonight are (i) I didn't know we were capable of playing that badly and (ii) that was just a really irritating/obnoxious game to lose, even if "It's only one close Q1 road loss, it doesn't matter that much" is true.

OK so you don't watch much college basketball.

Just a suggestion: try it. It will be good for you.

i dont think we see a team junk up a game like that against ISU the rest of the way. morgantown is unique. i am taking nothing from this game other than i hope it pisses off the players.

ISU is really, really good but has more limitations than I think some are seeing, even with Milan.

I also can't envision a tourney game being officiated like that, so hopefully we don't see this in a game that really means something.

ya. the officiating was half the junking of that game. no way a tourney game is called like that against a top seed. maybe once you get into the second weekend, but all bets are off then.
