71-61 clones.

we'll have to be ready in our half-court. of course control the boards, and limit turnovers. Much like the Texas team, I do believe there is a limit on how many points they can score. If we can keep the pace fast and hit some 3s, they can't keep up.

I won't give a score because I suck at that sort of thing, but I think ISU wins big (20+) and we keep our 70+ppg streak alive.

Wish I could be at the game, watching them on TV is killing me after being in the student section for 6 seasons.

One thing stands true. These next three games coming up are going to be telling, and pivotal as to our NCAA Tournament chances. If we win all three coming up, I think that will give us tremendous momentum, and if we should stay healthy would almost solitify our spot in the big dance!

Id say next 4. If this team is what I think, no way they should loose to KSU at home.

The next 3 do more to eliminate our spot in the dance than to solidify it. If we lose one of these three bottom-feeder games, there's no real point in talking about the tournament.

They won't be good wins, just wins. We need those, too, but they don't punch the ticket.

I think you went the wrong way. The game is at 8PM CST which is 7PM MST. Should be pretty much over by 9 in Denver.

This will be a grind it out game. Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up being our first game under 70. Gotta be mentally tough and get this one at home.


Doubt it. The only way we get held under 70 is if they foul a ton and we miss free throws. I expect them to foul a ton, but if we make our free throws, we should have no trouble getting 70 and winning handily.

Seriously? You would be writing off the tourny at 3-2 in conference. A big road win against one of the top in the conference or even beating KU at home would easily offset a bad loss in one of these games.

Sure it makes it a little more difficult but it far from eliminates them from the tourney.

Losing on the road to Texas Tech or TCU would be a bad, bad, bad, bad loss. Losing to West Virginia at home is a bad loss. Take one of those without a bunch of good wins, and you have a resume that screams "NIT."

Since we don't have any big wins at all, losing one of those 3 games is lethal to our chances.
