Yeah running mred's simulator looks like regardless of rest of today's outcomes we will be playing either TCU or K-State Thursday Night.
Great matchup for us if so. We are clearly better than they are. But if we lose first game I honestly won’t be disappointed. I usually want the Big 12 tournament title because it’s so much fun and we aren’t really thinking of much more than maybe a Sweet 16 run in the NCAA Tournament. But this team CAN make a serious run so give me the rest if we happen to lose early in KC. Their legs on their shots are clearly a bit tired.
On one hand this game had a good potential of being completely irrelevant so hopefully it could be used as a nice wake up call for the tourney.
On the other hand to play like that when you had a legit shot of winning a big 12 championship is discouraging.

Exactly, they are still bringing it regardless. So had we won their was no fricking way Houston was losing this game based on how they are playing knowing they have it wrapped up.
It stinks when people Bri g up our lack of Final Four knowing our 2000 team was better than most Final Four teams and was actually “hot” at the time in addition to dominant full season.
Champions aren’t mostly luck but round of 32 vs sweet 16 or elite 8 vs final four can be a lot of luck.
What does concussion protocol look like for Watson? Having him available in 5 days might be a reach.
Truth is the team has been flirting with doing this in a lot of the conference games lately. No such thing as a good loss but this is just the reminder TJ needs to focus this team for bigger goals that lie ahead of us.
Yep, this is really about all there is to say at this point. This should be clear to all isu fans and the ultimate hope and goal at this point.
Just finished watching the game. Well I fast forwarded the final 5 mins because couldn't keep watching that mess. Not sure what ISU was doing, just horrible on offense. Losing the ball dribbling, bad offense all around, along with poor rebounding on defense end. Refs seemed to not call contact on few obvious drives, Lipsay got knocked down once which was crazy, but honestly ISU just sucked. Hopefully the flush that game and bring more organized and patient offense in tourneys. Defense is great but can't be helpless on other end. Today was worst game I saw, luckily did not matter in big picture
And the first round too.
There's plenty of examples of a 1 seed barely sliding through the first game way before Virigina in 2018.
Sometimes we fans have a hard time accepting that emotion has an impact on these games and that the opponent has some pride, too. Cyclones won a tough final home game over an opponent that had beaten them earlier. KSU had gotten embarrassed by their in-state rival. Their senior day as well.
Not the result I hoped for, but not totally shocking either. Get a nice break, be ready to play on Friday. See what happens.
