Yep. Like last year. If BYU goes cold from 3, they're a very beatable team because they don't play D.

I know I am in the minority but I'd rather Tamin play today and we win the Big 12 Tournament.
Chances are we aren't winning a National Championship so might as well win the tournament we have a chance to win.
Proud of the boys for coming so close without two of their normal starters. Not many teams could hang with a team like BYU under those conditions.
I'm not one to complain about officiating, but a differential of 21 vs 7 free throws is wild; I can't ever remember seeing such a difference and when the game ends in a 4 point loss, it does make you shake your head. Those officials had way too much impact on the final outcome of the game. Not saying the loss was their fault, but it most certainly played a role.

he got caught in the lane OVER helping on the drive, bad def miscue there. but he isn't supposed to be playing crunch time minutes for us, we are down two starting guards. Hard to blame Kelderman.
True. But even with KG & Lipsey we haven't been good all season with a slight deficit late. We've been great with a slight lead late, however. Our end of game shot selection has been hard to watch usually.
Dang we win with Tamin and Keshon, I believe they would have caused a few more turnovers
Maybe not a title, but the F4 is definitely in play. For me a successful season would be finishing the season exceeding our recent tournament finishes. I’d sign up for an E8 right now and be over the moon about it.
That charge he tried to take better have been hit with flopping. That was awful. Pure drama.
I'm in the camp that it's a usually a convenient excuse to use making a conference tourney run is the reason you don't escape the 1st weekend.
However; injuries are different from fatigue and soreness when load managing a conference tournament.
A final 4 appearance > than another Big 12 tourney title
Couldn't be prouder of the effort. It took all the guns in BYU's arsenal to beat us today - without arguably our two best perimeter defenders and guards. Love the way Curtis and Milan, and Nate stepped up offensively. If they can shoot and be confident like that next week, we'll be in good shape.
I really am not upset by losing. We now don't have to go through the slugfest with Houston and we get 7 (or 8) days to rest and get as healthy as can be for next week. We should be locked in as a 3 seed with our win yesterday and that showing today. Get ready for the tourney that matters.
As for BYU - when they have a game where they don't shoot 50% from three, they will be eliminated. They don't play D. We scored 92 today with a depleted roster. I personally hope to see an early exit by them.

That is still a jump shooting team.
The fouls called when BYU drove to kick it out vs the fouls called when ISU drove the lane today...were not equal. That's all I was saying.
Hoiberg ISU teams drove & kicked for 3pt shots like BYU too, but they rarely got to the FT line when they did it.
Hate to say it but at this point if we don’t make the E8, it was a disappointing season.
There are no pivot foot restrictions on a throw-in. On a spot throw, the thrower can move up to three feet in either direction.
The officiating sucked in this game. 22-12 foul discrepancy, which is absolute horse ****.
Their guys had their hands all over our guards impeding drives/riding guys on dribble drives, and we get none of those calls. But Richie Saunders can flop in the lane and get a foul called every time. I wish they'd give Keshon ½ those calls.
Great effort by the guys. But I really hate when you're playing against the zebras as well as your opponent.
Contact. Does nothing for a sec or two. Then his worst fish out of water impression
