Monte NEEDS a few days off. You could tell he has tired legs tonight. Great job by him logging a ton of minutes tonight.

....On the road
.....In a game Vegas and KenPom had us losing
Live a little CF....this is a good win however ugly it seemed.
We could win the national championship and people are still going to ***** about Prohm. Give it a rest people! We are in 2nd place in arguably the best conference in the country.
Be prepared to hear it now buddy. Don't tell people on here we have shortcomings we need to improve on, they will rip you a new one. Oh wait, no they won't, your name isn't clonedude, so you'll probably get a "Winner" vote. Yep, sure enough.
I think back to some of those early years under Fred where it seemed that late 3 from the opponent always went in. Some of it's luck but some of it is being in the right spot or not.
The only time you can criticize the refs is when you win; otherwise, you look like a sore loser. So go for it; no need to hold back!!
Because the coach is the guy who was on the court kicking the ball out of bounds and commiting stupid charging fouls. Oh wait, that was Deonte Burton (whose game is an endless enigma). Great win! On to Hilton and Baylor!
On Chris Williams' instant podcast, he said that ISU "caught some breaks tonight." So, I'm not the only one. I didn't say that caught EVERY break but TTU had at least 3 easy fast break chances that they didn't finish.
Yup. And, as they said during the game it's the first we've won five since LE's great teams. Congrats to Coach Steve Prohm and this year's team.[/QUOTE]
This team hasn't been respected by many this season. Wouldn't be surprised if Baylor is a 3 pt favorite Sat.
He has assists, and will have steals, but is he in the mix for total minutes record from an ISU player? I feel like he has to be close.
Now a lock, barring an extreme chain of events, such as finishing 0-4 plus having mass bid-stealing in conference tournaments. Even that might not matter.
"First-next" order of business: Stay above the 8/9 line.

I can't believe TT only had 6 turnovers and we still won. Tons of credit to our boys for hanging in there at the end. The refs were calling everything against them and instead of getting pissed off like I was they just dug deep and found a way to win.
They say march is all about guard play and we have one of the best back courts in the country. This is going to be a really fun last month. With all of these guys leaving after this year and pretty much starting over, can we please just enjoy this, root on our guys like hell and see what happens.

The amount of road wins is lumping them in with the Kane/Ejim group for grittiness and relentlessness. People will come from miles around to not let it be since it's not a Dreamy team, but it's absolutely worth thinking about.
**** that caught some breaks. I call it karma for the bs reffing and they got plenty breaks with the flukey way the ball was bouncing for them.
Through out the game I felt we were the better team and TTU was catching breaks from either the gd worthless reffing or some miracle bounce.
Most teams have shortcomings. Enjoy the wins. Good teams overcome their shortcomings and win.
FYI on anonymous forums nothing is given, everything is earned.
ISU's breaks came in frantic play, Tech's breaks were courtesy of Hollywood's crew getting whistle happy to even have a chance at OT.
