I don't know why, but I'm not near as comfortable with the Texas game as I should be after last night. Texas has played some good competition this year, and they have looked awful at times in doing it. I hope ISU responds positively to last night, but I see a close game coming Saturday.

ISU- 71
$$$- 68
 
ISU 75
Texas 61

Should be a great crowd. There aren't any sets of two tickets together left on cyclones.com
 
Probably will be closer than we like but the good guys get a conference win.

ISU 78
UT 72
 
We win comfortably.

85-67.

Texas has struggled mightily scoring points. 8 of their games they have scored 65 points or less. That is over half their games.
 
Kabongo back for Texas just in time for this game. I have no idea how our team will respond after KU.

Will be there cheering regardless.
 
Just curious, does anybody think we have a shot at being ranked if we beat Texas comfortably? It sounds a little ridiculous but everyone who is anyone in the college basketball world saw what almost happened last night...

I doubt it. With how weak the Big 12 is, we would need to win the next 3 to 4 to be ranked.

Game is never in doubt. Texas is bad right now. If this was a young team, I'd be worried about a letdown but there are too many veterans on this team to let that happen.

We might have a shot at being ranked in the January 21st poll if we are 13-4 (3-1) at that point. That would require beating Texas and West Virginia at home, and TCU on the road.

If not then, if we also beat Texas Tech on the road and Kansas State at home in the next two games and are 15-4 (5-1), we will be ranked in the January 28th poll.
