Well here is hoping the ladies bounce back from the OT loss at KSU.
For those attending it's the pink out game.

Twister Sister Summary - Previewing TCU

The Sisters face a tall task (no pun intended) when they welcome TCU to Hilton. The addition of Haley Van Lith has turned the frogs into a formidable, but not unbeatable opponent. Here's a look at the Frogs. https://twistersistersummary.wordpress.com/2025/02/01/another-opportunity-previewing-tcu/

I’m bringing two sets of pops today. Hope I don’t need them, but I’m coming prepared. Writeup will be this evening as my wife and I are going out to dinner after the game.

 

[BoxsterCy]

I sort of have this as a pick'em mostly just because of home game and matchup. Both teams sort of match up well against each other. We are at home and might have a slight advantage in depth even if our depth hasn't always provided great play. If one teams brings their A game and the other their B game it will be a 10-12 point loss for the B. If both bring A or B it will a single possession game one way or the other.

ESPN analytics have TCU as 66% win probability. That's not that much if you follow that "predictor" much. The betting spread is TCU -5.5.

Glad you guys are healthy again.

You'll probably need 4 of them pops today. One for each quarter.

Cyclones of any team could really use a big win right now!

Seems like a really tough matchup for Crooks on both ends of the court.

 

[ZorkClone]

[acoustimac]

Apparently Wilson is starting today

There have been at least 3 displacements over the back thus far on TCUs end. We need to knock them the hell off. Mthe officials are not going to keep them off.

 

[cycloneworld]

TCU looks multiples more athletic and quick than we do. Doesn’t bode well.

 

[acoustimac]

Geesh…our offense is even more stand around than normal

 

[acoustimac]

We have five standing around the perimeter with zero movement. Makes playing defense easy

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Can't believe Bill waited for the media timeout.

 

[ZorkClone]

TCU is looking really good. They are doing what we should with passing it out to the open girl.

 

[acoustimac]

On defense we are collapsing and leaving their shooters wide open. That isn’t a good game plan
