Hell of a half!

And yet I think we have one more gear.

I swear Gilbert could start at WR for Matt Campbell.

Stevie-Johnson-like

The last time Sampson coached in the Big 12 championship game didn't Fizer and Co. hand him his lunch?

 

[FLYINGCYCLONE]

Shead is 2-11 in the first half. Same for second half would be good.
Go Cyclones

Fran with a Monte Morris reference. Drink!

 

[CyNews]

Chop them down

Stevie-Johnson-like

This one makes more sense!

That's a hell of a half. Going to take all Houston has to win this.

Great half

No - OU won 3 straight Big 12 championships after that - and he was their coach.

EDIT - but yes, ISU handed Sampson his lunch in that game in 2000.

 

[Cyched]

Sampson will make adjustments and Houston will be very tough in the second.

Let’s keep some momentum going.

Houston is flopping worse than Lipsey tonight

Thankfully the crew isn't calling most of them

If we were boxing out better and limiting second chance points Houston might only have 16 points at the half.

 

[Cyforce]

Seeing McClure with that infectious smile. I know exactly what he's thinking. They paying me and all I got to do is halftime analysis.

 

[xboxfever]

These two teams are so ******* good right now. If they continue playing like this in the tournament, a rematch in the final 4 is likely.

Lol Rothstein hates TJ so much he’s one of 15 people watching the America
We sleep in May!

true, but that would be picking nits on an otherwise fairly dominant first half.

This game has a second-weekend NCAA Tournament feel to it. Maybe even 3rd weekend.
