I didn’t think we’d win tonight and am gladly eating crow. We are really damn good. No joke really damn good.
Might as well keep these posts going…that was a HUGE win!

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. I had a good feeling about this game. So much I bet it.
I thought we’d lose for sure. Must win for Cincy. Defense travels…and the offense did too! Every time it felt like Cincy was going on a run in the second half someone stepped up and made a bucket or the defense got a stop. Great win by the team!
It is not easy AT ALL to win on the road in this league. These guys are showing so much heart.
At TCU, Texas, and Cincy.
If you asked me before conference started, or even after the OU loss, I’d probably have said 1-2 for that trifecta
Three teams have a 4-3 record in conference on the road: Houston, Baylor & ISU. Win Sat. & Mon. and we’re inhaling rarefied air folks!!
We are just so balanced. We can get double digit scoring from about 7 guys on any given night. And the defense and effort is always there.
It's hard to do for any conference but the Big 12 is actually seeing legit teams about every time out.
Tonight's win likely solidifies three tourneys in a row for the third time ever which really is huge.
is a good thing .
Their crowd was never in it. Ever.

I just would have smiled and nodded without picking any of those as wins.
Basically a double digit road win getting nothing from Tre and Milan. I'll take it.
Guys, I'm an idiot but our metrics are through the roof. Yes we may lose down the ine but there is reason why Vegas lines match the metrics in a lot of games.
I certainly wouldn’t bet against these guys, but Cincinnati is a really solid team with a great home court, and that’s a lot for any team. Defense travels, baby. Defense travels
This game got me out of my negative Super Bowl funk. Didn’t think we would beat Cincy on the road, but TJ and the team thought otherwise. Green can flat out coach defense.
ISU rarely ever wins this game. Just ranked in the top 10 against a mid level conference team on the road. That’s almost always a loss except for the 2000-01 team or maybe the deandre Kane team.
Maybe people already know, but for those that don't, predictive metrics like Kenpom and Barttorvik had this game as the second most difficult left, only behind the game at Houston. Definitely a huge win.
And honestly we kinda cruised. It was a pretty average game. Pretty exciting. This team probably has a clunker in it somewhere along the way, but this is the time when TJs teams have struggled the last few seasons and it feels like this team is just hitting it's stride. Just awesome what these guys are doing.
Well we matched our win total from all of last season tonight. Pretty safe to say we are in.
And cruised despite shooting 28% from 3 while Cincy shot 39% and Cincy nearly doubling up our offensive rebounds. This team is well-rounded enough and good enough to make sure that an opponent usually can't beat them by doing just one or two things well.
