Bet you they miss every open shot against Houston tomorrow.

Yep and they turn it over a lot too. They also had so many *almost* turnovers that could've been today too where they recovered it or bounced back to them for a bucket.
I'd be really apprehensive to have them make a deep run in my bracket.
Yeah a FF would be cool, but that isn't happening either so I'd still take the Big 12 tourny championship.
Well, back to trying to get some sleep and working to death for an organization that doesn't know what I do and doesn't appreciate it.
Great effort for a team without two starters, Jones had an unbelievable game. My only complaint would be BYU was torching us from distance, why not change it up and try a zone earlier than with 3:30 left in the game? BYU was doing a great job of dribbling penetration and then dishing it out to the corner, why not stop helping out and stay in the corner or at least the passing lane. BYU is a solid team, if they continue to play like they are, hitting 3s and making free throws they can win this tournament.
I honestly don’t think Lipsey was playing the rest of the Big 12 tournament regardless of him suiting up, regardless of what he or anyone else said. As much as the players wanted to win this tournament, Lipsey would have played today if he wasn’t shut down.
Hopefully Houston bodies them up and physically beats the **** out of them.
I know ISU's coaching staff doesn't like to get on the refs, and I generally support that as opposed to coaches who are out on the floor screaming for the whole game. But sometimes it needs to happen, especially when a clear fouling discrepancy is apparent, or baby gloves are coming out for the opponent. Sometimes the refs need a little reminder to fair things up.
I really think their high turnover rate will at some point cost them in crunch time in a big game.
Yeah, having our two best defenders would have meant their key scorers would have been better covered, meaning less help needed off their secondary scorers. Really hard to understate what we were missing defensively.
They've been really good over the last month and played an injured ISU team twice.
Add in that they're ISU's krptonite and it's tough all over.
No he wasn't going to play against Houston.
Kind of glad they avoid Houston, that is a rugby scrum
I agree. The tournament is really the only thing that matters.
Take the 21-22 season vs the 22-23 season.
22-23 we were more competitive in B12 play, but due to that first round travesty vs Pitt it’s what I remember about that season.
21-22 conference play was rough at times but the S16 made me forget all about it.
Granted, expectations were vastly different going into each season and that also plays a role when looking back.
Vic's got a week to work some magic. It happens to other teams too. Look at Duke today. That's definitely not what they wanted right before the Tourney.
You do realize that our 2 best perimeter defenders are not playing, our 3rd best fouled out and we are playing a 6’ walkon!!!
A sweet 16 is still better than winning KC and losing Thursday
Probably better for the tournament seeding to also have Tamin not okay and lose close than to play him and still lose while he’s limping. The committee is watching these games and they are seeing that we are down 2.
My armchair take on BYU is they are an example of what elite ball movement can do for ok talent. I'll probably have them going 1-1 in the tourney.
