If I were to guess, we’ll rise to a 16-18 ranking. I don’t get too fired up about particulars. What’s relative is we’re playing great and in the top 25 again.

Yes. I thought you "dumbed" my post (#718), but have since removed the dumb.
If I am mistaken, no biggie. I stand by the post.
Average? They tried making up for it when maybe someone in the 2nd half pointed out the disparity.
But man were they bad.
And Fran needs to keep calling them out without a make-up kiss the next game day.
Fran seemed genuinely pissed at those “kick” fouls. Like beyond just calling the game pissed. I tend to agree with him, but how do you really feel, Fran?
Let's just get 5 more wins to clinch a tourney berth, then we can start talking about conference finishes.
We just won two road games where there is no doubt we were the better team but could have easily been 2 losses due to inept officiating.
The really great thing about this win is the evenness of contribution. One Cyclone didn’t go cheat-mode and score 30 points. The team had so many in double figures.
Big rebounds by just about all.
Osun’s tip started the clock on the last gasp inbounds and all but ended it.
King!
I mean, Gabe is the headliner, but this was a full TEAM-WIN!

I said before conference play I thought we would struggle to get to 7 wins and that 7 wins would still put us on the bubble. I was hoping for 7+ home wins and 1-2 road wins.
we already got two road wins and my thoughts on this team is we are for sure a ncaa tourney team. If we can get the next 2 of 3 games....look out.

I just wish the refs would learn from the previous two times he did it. I could see those taking a ref by surprise or be questionable, Gabe's was close. But Lipsey clearly flew by to the side and Miles literally kicked his leg on the way by.
There were a handful of calls that weren’t right. I’ll give you that. But could you imagine putting yourself in those shoes. That would be an absolute daunting/nightmarish game to call. The pace and physicality. So yeah, not terrible officiating. I’ll stick with my opinion.
everyone that played, even Watson made big contributions toward the W
He was saying we choked, even though it didn't feel that way to me, and the game was not over yet. It very much felt like a game the refs were trying to win for TCU.
Just another example of his negativity. I'm tired of it. I'm not perfect either, but damn.
There were a LOT of ranked teams losing this week. We went 2-0 ON THE ROAD in the best league in the country including a TCU team that had won 11 straight. We'll jump into top 15.
Not disagreeing it's tough job. But what was the disparity at one time.........16 for us, 4 for them?
With the way they play defense? Come on. It's not that tough.
What a freaking game. Thought for sure they blew it but Gabe with a ridiculous shot to pull out the win. Another great team effort!
Heck yes, he did! He had a couple of really nice blocks. This team has players, and they appear to be able to play well together. There’s gonna be a head-scratcher or two ahead, but WOW!
Now if Chiefs win and I get laid tonight, it will be a red banner day.
