ISU @ Houston/Big Monday

[MushroomPinball]

Agreed. Ala Tamin-less ISU @ TCU. Guys step up. I’d rather Washington play at 75%.

Was it TJ’s first year that Tech came to Ames with like 6 players and put up a hell of a fight? Different coach and 2 different teams, but expecting a dog fight.

That was a weird game. Final score something like 47-41. Brookington had a late four point play to help seal it.

Yeah but they were still good and ISU had to basically sandpaper their way to the win.

Two really tough games in a couple of days. At least we play early on Saturday.

Get the W on Saturday, Shower, Ice, Rest, etc.
Sunday get a flight to Houston
Monday, play like road dawgs and beat the cougars.
nice break during the week to come home to beat WVU.
Ranked Top ~5, 10 days from now after beating Texas Tech, @houston, and WVU. 1st place in the Big12 with 4 games left.
just saying.....

I'll allow it

BYU?

I thought they were OK that night. BYU was extra sharp and ISU just wasn't for some reason.

The way BYU plays/shoots will be a problem in Hilton too I think.

I can't believe this game is on ESPNU... that's laughable. Just shows what a joke ESPN is.

Does it really matter. Everyone has ESPN, ESPN 2', and ESPN U. The CF meltdown would be if it was on (God forbid) ESPN plus.

According to CW and Hassel, the production is not nearly as good on ESPNU as it is on ESPN.

Honestly it feels like every time we have someone from another team out there ends up being someone else stepping up in that role that goes off for a million.

So if he plays, he plays.

if he dies, he dies

I don't unless I pay for YTTV.

Sling etc. stopped carrying it too.

I've heard some discussion on this on radio and podcasts. Is there any way that ESPN swaps ISU at Houston and KSU at Texas on Monday, February 19th? As of right now, our game is on ESPNU at 6:00 p.m., and KSU at Texas is at 8:00 p.m. on ESPN, with the later game being the official Big Monday game.

It's pretty obvious at this point that our game has a huge impact on the conference race, and the other one is seemingly meaningless.

Chuck - Impressive that you called this so early

Whoee Coach, this is going to be a tough one. Houston's closest home game was UCF by 15 points . . . . BUT they have played lower level teams at home (WVU +34), Texas Tech (+23), UCF (+15), K St (+22), Ok St (+16). They still have Texas, ISU, Cincy and KU at home. All should be tougher than everyone except maybe TT.

Coach Hines beat me to it but didn't have video

 

[NWICY]

I'm not sure "trap games" are as big an issue for this team. When was the last time this team wasn't ready to play?

BYU?

 

[Cycsk]

BYU?

I wouldn't say that BYU was a trap game or that we weren't ready. They had guys play out of their minds. If anything, it was more of trying too hard, overplaying and double-teaming which left their players open to shoot.

 

[danwbarrett]

Hope not. Fran or bust!

Kris Budden will be on the sidelines for ESPN. I heard her announce it as she cohosted this afternoon’s Sirius XM college sports radio show.

It was just a question by me. I didn't think it was possible, but then heard so many bring it up.

First half against Baylor coming off the big win against Kansas.
But, Texas tech is also coming off their win against Kansas

 

[t-noah]

Put that KSU game on the LHN.

No. I got a better idea. Kick Texas ouT, OuT, OUT!

The practical difference between being way too drunk for a Monday and way too drunk for a Tuesday is minimal.

I don’t even drink during the weeknight games any more! I’m a decrepit 38 year old man who likes waking up at 4AM but still getting 8 hours of sleep.
