Looking to be a good one in Lubbock

Pay close attention to my earlier prediction.

Im going to look like Nostradamus 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Khavon Moore just checked into the game, first minutes he's seeing all year...could be huge for Tech in the long run

Also looks like Tariq Owens hurt his shoulder which is not good

First minutes since high school. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Been expecting this to happen all year, run up against a team that doesn't foul and commit turnovers and we still can't score. At least we've been good at scoring in 2nd halves this season lol

You got us right where you want us.  We'll get cold offensively, miss free throws, and put the zebras in position to dictate the outcome.  This game will have all of us invested right up to the bitter end.

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Also 12 FTs to 2 lol

It’s all part of their diabolical plan.  Call it our way for 35 minutes, then pull the Frank Reynolds Fake Out.

Fucking brilliant!

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Wow that was a clean block

[Uncle Nate 2,097]

Refs are from Iowa. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

Man the officiating is really bad tonight, somewhat on both ends

That 30 second stretch was absurd.

Jacobsen takes 5 steps and gets away with it.  Then they give you a 3 that was shot well after an off ball foul.  How is any of that legal?

I realize we got away with a bunch, but if they let you keep that 3, that’s on par with the 3 pointer KU got to keep that occurred between our first and second FTs on a two shot foul back in ‘03.

I literally can't believe that 3 counted, I'm not sure I've ever seen that before

[Al_4_ISU 12,464]

We completely folded on that call.  This team is gutless.

It was a nice run.

You only netted 1 unearned point.  Jacobsen traveled 

[Uncle Nate 2,097]

Iowa State is just simply better tonight all around. Tech is seemingly unable to counter.

You just countered pretty fucking well with that press.

Brother, you and I may be the two most pessimistic fans of our respective teams. But I think you will win this one. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

They'll definitely win, we're off our defensive game tonight

[Uncle Nate 2,097]

The worst part about this is that it puts Fucking Kansas back in the drivers seat to win the conference for like the eleventy-Two time in a row.

I mean any team that can score over 70 will beat us. Our offense has been god awful all year. We weren't supposed to be good at all this year, I'm just enjoying the ride.

We are worthless on offense down the stretch.  You are observing it now.

Here we are, trying to reverse jinx our teams into a win.  Game respect game

Nah I really felt an ISU win today, our lack of ability to score had to catch up with us at some point

Fuck. Tech couldn't afford this home loss. Fuck Kansas.

Yeah. It's over. Congrats. And fuck KU.

[Jhawk 1,075]

Bill self says hello. Fucking a. Great game ISU. 

[Al_4_ISU 12,464]

I burned a lot of reverse jinx cards tonight.

That was s fucking battle, and we were fortunate Tech decided to out shit us at the stripe.

Hopefully we’re both playing for something when you come back to Hilton, but probably not.  This was big for KU, unfortunately.

 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

The worst part is if we'd kept hitting FTs at the pace we had been so far in conference play we'd have won lol

Oh well, on to the next game

Shayok was going to the line when I typed that.

My favorite part of this thread was all the reverse jinxing , arguing, bullshitting...then you realize KU just got the inside track to #15 and it brings everybody together again.  Heartwarming, really.

Great win by ISU. Tech is legit...they won’t lose many in that building.

Actually literally not one person gives a shit about you masturbating about your trophies in this thread so I don't know what your goal here is

You guys pretending like you might not get #15 is the ultimate reverse jinx of the thread.

Been pretending since I signed up on the other site in 2012. 

[Doyle Hargreaves 301]

Eh, Rats. This was the Cyclones night and I thought we might steal it from them in the end anyway. Not to be. 

Going to be a fist fight until the end. 

[Brian Fantana 6,689]

I'm gonna call us getting swept by KU, ISU, and TCU. We can't finish at the rim, shoot or stop turning the ball over. It's a miracle we can even score 60 tbh. Certainly a rebuilding year on that side of the ball.

[Jhawk 1,075]

I think you’re a top 10 team at the end of the year. If you’re top15 during rebuilding then your program has arrived as long as you keep beard.

That’s been true for two years.  For as great as the defense is, the offense so many times seems limited to standing around and watch Evans/Smith, and now Colver create their shot.

 

It’s maddening.  The only positive is knowing Beardhas plenty of upside in his own game, should the offense ever come around.

[Al_4_ISU 12,464]

I've also come to the conclusion that we're the Big 12 basketball version of Tom Herman's football program.

Talented, capable of beating anyone anywhere, but we're going to drop enough games against lesser teams to keep us from winning the league.

Well fuck, we suck again. This was gonna be a rebuilding year anyway. Boynton has recruited well but he'll need a new wave of recruits. Lost 4 players in one week. Down to 8 on scholarship. Furk.

I give zero shits to see KU's streak end unless and until my team is the one to pull it off.  OSU is still the last team to win the conference outright other than KU. I would take no joy in seeing Tech or ISU or god forbid OU be the one to take them down. Keep at it Bill until Mike Boyton is ready to challenge for the throne.

I've seen this sentiment on reddit from several fans of most of the Big 12. Everyone wants their team to end the streak.
