There was really only one "long range" 3pt shot during the comeback. Most of the rest came because the 3pt shooters were left wide open. Seems unwise to leave 3pt shooters open when that's precisely what the opponents want and need, yet that's what ISU did. And ISU wasn't doing that earlier in the game.

I think there were at least two that were probably 23-24' (Holmes left side and Felix off the dribble up top) and I would consider those long range.

Monte's A:TO ratio continues to boggle my mind. It's absurd. 2:1 is solid. He is sitting at 5:1 on the season. Inconceivable

Then what do you want him to say? Let him enjoy the win.
I don't want him to enjoy the shoddy win. I want him to be disappointed that this team isn't playing up to their potential.

But...he probably said the pc thing. In private maybe he's seething...I hope.

This one is going to hurt our seeding for the tournament for sure, put this one in the bad win column.

GunnerClone...what are you talking about. We beat a ranked team...it will go as a good win against a good team. Texas didn't quit and made a game of it because they're a good team and didn't quit. Just like us against Tech. We didn't quit and almost pulled that out.

I think people need to come back to reality for a few minutes and understand that no team beats every opponent by 20 points. This Texas squad is damn good and will probably be in the Sweet Sixteen. So lets just be happy and enjoy a win instead of complaining that we didn't win by 30. Fred's approach is exactly what this team needs. (15-4) (5-2) #15 think about those things before you start complaining.

Texas isn't going to the Sweet 16.

He's joking. Poking a little fun at the sky is falling crowd.

That was the best the offense has run all season. Great shot selection and patience all around. Really glad to see that, and the defense came to play for most of the game. I'm very happy with this game even though everyone seems to want to freak out because Texas made their way back into the game. Do you expect ISU to hold off a team that talented for an entire half? No way.

Texas isn't going to the Sweet 16.

If Felix and Myles Turner play the way they did tonight they will. Texas will still finish 10-8 and be a 5 seed in the tournament. Would you take Texas or Wichita State in a matchup? Their size is going to be devastating to alot of teams and the zone defense is pretty salty.

Wut? ISU had a 15ish point lead most of the game. Teams don't win by 20 in conference play against another ranked team very often. C'mon dude. That was one of the best games of the season until the last 3 minutes. Wow. Gotta find something to complain about.
