Think the Big 12 is Hard Now???

[AlaCyclone]

It didn't matter how good we were, we lost in Boulder.

I've seen ISU lose to Colorado @ Hilton on Big Monday! 1992 IIRC.

 

[CyberJJJ]

No, I am not worried about next year--I am focused on Wednesday night! On the other hand, Arizona is probably saying, "Oh crap we better make hay in the NCAA this year as it will be brutal in conference next year playing teams like Iowa State and Houston! As I have told my teams, losing the anonymity of irrelevance is not to be mourned!

The new schools will quickly learn big 12 road environments are nothing like the pac 12.

Arizona State currently has the #16 2024 recruiting class on 247

And? They have recruiters in Carrington and Samples. Carrington was at Texas with Herman and they recruited well there too. Look how it played out. I’m not concerned about ASU. They’re soft at every position. They will be towards the bottom for the first few years.

I remember the Fizer/Tinsley team lost at Colorado. The Buffs hit a half court shot to send it into overtime.

That bounce pass to JT followed by the running three. I probably came a half inch from
Hitting my head on the ceiling

Jaquay freaking Walls

Jaquay Walls was out of his mind in that game.

Right over Poncho Hodges.

20 conference games, you better have a deep bench or teams are going to be dead by the end.

Not really a lot of a reason to schedule a non con.

Omg… imagine not being able to review that, and then calling it a 2. Johnny would have assaulted someone.

Sounds good to me. Shorten the number of boring non conference games even more.

Back then they could review the time but not if it was a three pointer however, the refs would go check the “time” and if he made it in time. Then get the call right . In other words look at the clock and go, Jimmy was right it was a three pointer. Not possitive but I think that’s why the Colorado coach flipped out

Does that ranking include transfers? I don't see how it could since we aren't even in transfer season yet. Without transfers it's irrelevant.

 

[David Freshman1982]

Arizona state is horrible in all athletics. Their facilities are garbage. Other than the Phoenix Metro, they bring Nothing of substance to the Big 12.

They had a strong wrestling program in the not-so-distant past. Good baseball program. Superhot coeds. They'll do.

That game broke a long conference road losing streak if I remember.

 

[HouClone]

I saw them lose to a bad Colorado team there in 1985.

Too lazy to look it up but was that the game Matt Bullard of Colorado (and West Des Moines) hit a last second shot to beat ISU? He transferred to Iowa and it was hyped as the best thing since sliced bread. The results didn't pan out. He did ok in the NBA though.

 

[CloneFanInKC]

That and playing at Colorado and that altitude is always fun. For those that have been around for some time, playing there when Colorado was in the league before, we had teams go in there and lose that had no business losing to them. But yes, at home we should beat the crap out of them.

Without researching is there any memorable former CU MBB player besides Chancy Billups? He was the first name I thought of and can’t think of anyone else.

Wow. The reaction of that Colorado coach after the right call. I hope he got fined at least.
