No game is a gimme--ever. Ask last year's Duke team when they played SFA. I think this is particularly true with the Big 12 with our double round robin schedule and each team knowing each other intimately. We beat Kansas in Lawrence for the first time last year but lost at home. This year, I believe we have the chance to sweep them but they won't make it easy for us.

If any team ever starts a game thinking it is an automatic win, they are setting themselves up for a big loss.

FT% completely unacceptable for the #2 team in the country. We shoot that poorly Monday night against Kansas, we lose, period.
Let's see.......TT beat cows in austin. cows beat Kansas at Kansas by 25. We beat TT in Lubbock by 8.



You comment makes no since.




Post game celebration alcohol maybe?

Not exactly how it works CT. You're pretty much saying TX beating KU automatically means we beat KU. That's just laughable. We aren't invincible like most in here believe. We have several weaknesses that can be exploited. Not saying we lose Monday by any means


I was only taking exception to his comment that if we shoot 59% from the line we loose. Tech is every bit as good as Kansas.

Yes, we need to improve at the line. No doubt.

But saying we loose "period". I certainly disagree with. This team has many strengths. And winning is right at the top.
