Oh, we could. I’m not saying it’s impossible. We have a good team. I think we’ll have a very good team a month from now. Anyone can win in a tournament setting, and we’ve certainly proven that we can win down there.

Nick Weiler-Babb played all 40 minutes.
I swore I heard the NBA Jam or College Slam voice for "HE'S ON FIRE!" a few times with those threes that he took -- the stepbacks, turnarounds, and half-court stuff.

Wasn't referring to the Big XII tourney. If they can put together a three game winning streak they're in by just splitting the remaining weeks.
If you could get to .500 in the league roughly that would be enough in this confernece to get a tourney bid not because of being .500 but because by definition it would be 9 quality wins. 11 games to go, I can't see us even being competitive with WV in either game so call it 7 losses right there. That means of the 9 other games you have to win 7 of them, that is a A LOT to ask. The two OT games are killers right now, if you had even one of them it might be a different conversation. UNI sucking ass is not helping either right now. And now you have to go to Texas on short rest off a big win, not easy to do for anyone.
Now on the flip side, after today is it possible to get hot and rattle off a win streak? Maybe, crazier things have happened. Everyone in the league is vulnerable but it is going to take a lot of road wins to get there. I really think our guys can handle OU both at home and on the road. Trae Young is getting scouted now and if he wants to score 48 on 40 shots, I think we win if they want to play like that. I know that sounds crazy but I think we match up with them very well.
I really don't see a path to the tourney, but today was a big big step and Stinson and Blaylock started 0-5 in the league and then got hot. Important win for Coach Prohm, really thought the whole program took a big step today. If you could somehow wiggle into the NIT, that would be a nice accomplishement for this team.

Really nice win and amazing improvement from the other night. When was the last time we improved 40+ points in one game in score and points given up?
Nice to see Talley really stepped up. He's gonna be an important piece off the bench.
Didn't get to watch (at the game) but I wondered how many times the announcers used the phrase "last place in the Big 12". Seemed like a theme phrase on Wednesday.
After hearing that the team didn’t even really prep specifically for TT, I’m even more encouraged.
That tells me that our guys were good enough to just run our stuff and defend their stuff (when properly focused) rather than having some elaborate game plan that just happened to work.

Can we please stop with the tourney talk. Good win, yes, but this team has a long way to go
Unfortunately, I think you may be right. This team is going to have some great highs, and definitely some lows. My hope is that the peaks and valleys aren't as big as we get towards the end of February, which Prohm has shown his two years here.
Still going to drink the koolaid and say we sneak an overtime victory at their place, 76 -72.
This team can beat anyone one a given night. Yes it just sucks they lost early but we figured that could happen. It would be so nice to have the first 3 back. This team is built different than teams past. They have the bigs to go against WV. If the team keeps their heads in it they have a shot at home. Don't forget Tech beat WV, so anything can happen.
Babb playing 40 minutes....again. And with Texas a Monday game. Grrrrr Was hoping with the 13-15 pt. lead that Nick could come out for at least 3 minutes, but CSP just doesn't trust anyone else. Cant blame him, but Babb is racking up a lot of minutes and with a knee issue to boot.
Great game from the Clones. Lard dominated the first half, and the guards were impressive in the second half. We’re not as deep as past teams, but we’ve got multiple scoring threats. Five guys in double figures!
I should add that we got a lot of help from Tech. Keenan Evans had a horrible day, going 2-12, and the team was just cold the whole game. It also didn’t look like Tech watched our TCU game, because they didn’t try much to run that devastating pick and roll play at the top of the key.

I just hope we don't have to watch UT's Osteiowitch (whatever his name is) go off for a career high in 3's again. We'll see if we got better at PnR defense.
They're not as effective from 3, which makes it easier to hedge it and they were more reluctant to take the quick three than TCU was. But our guys did respond much better in hedging and in recovery.
