Liar..I did not..you said we'd lose out after Kansas loss..and you said NIT when we were 0-3..I don't mind you being dumb but I hate a liar

How can we play like we did against Texas and play like this the next game? This whole season we've pretty much come out flat all season.

Been to a ton of ISU games. Watched them get pissed on by OU… they're sorry. OU is a sorry ass team too. Also watched Isu lose 4 in a row a bad fashion. They aren't good. Spin this however you want my favorite sunshine pumper

Iowa St isn't sorry..there are no sorry teams in this conference.. hence why every win is a Quad 1 win..sorry is Georgetown..Tulsa..SMU..if you follow basketball.


We're losing by 17… at home… on Senior Day… in the last conference game ever in the Ferrell Center.

If TCU ends up being our first matchup at the B12 Tourney because of this loss I've got a feeling the who cares about the B12 Tourney and we could use the extra rest group will be pleased.
It's not next week that worries me.

I can see us dropping to a 3 seed and this level of effort would absolutely kill us.

Our baseball team is a last place team (not hating on them, they have a rebuilding to do), and our football team is also rebuilding with new conference members.

So if we choke out the rest of our season, we will not much good news for a long time to come.

This team has the players and coaches to make the Elite 8. But games like today show we can lose to anyone.

It's not that Iowa State is beating us, it's our carelessness and piss-poor effort that makes that 17 point margin hard to accept.
That which does not kill me, will try again and get nastier

You realize they will now have the same conference record as last year..when they went to the Sweet 16?..I can point it out to you but I can't understand it for you.

I probably would have eased George back in and used the game plan from the last two games, but Drew knows best. I just didn't see this coming.

You mean when they beat a LSU squad in shambles. And the the most overrated 3 seed in tournament history? Yeah I remember. Again keep making excuses for getting blown out at home in senior day for a bad squad. It's what you do best, make excuses for bad performances
Quinton

Terrible performance to end conference Poor energy, bad offense, pathetic interior defense, weak rebounding.

Iowa is right, Iowa St is an okay team. Good defense but they have been getting worked by mediocre teams for the last month. They are not that good.

As we speak, Flag is clanking ft after ft. Strange game.

Flagler missed all 3 free throws ... that kind of sums up today.

I can't understand how KG can be a lottery pick? He can't blow by anyone and when he tries he charges or throws up some off balance wild shot. I will not miss him at all and I think we are better team without him.

Bottom line he's still a freshman and he plays like it a lot if the time. Other times he looks sensational and the natural talent shows up - then he cancels out a lot of the great things he does with TOs, ill advised low percentage shots, and defensive mistakes - plus today he couldn't even hit his FTs (like the rest of our team). Super frustrating when you consider he isn't going to be around for us in years to come to learn, develop, and get better.

Dude..I'm not making excuses..I said earlier in this thread our offense was horrible and too many dumb turnovers.. what I'm trying to get you to understand is nothing that happens today has any effect on how we play next week..or 2 weeks from today..you flush this and move on like we've done several times this year..and every other team I'm this conference has had to do because everyone has put up trash performances because this league is too tough
IowaBear
How long do you want to ignore this user?
I never said it'll have an effect on how we play going forward. I have zero doubts we lay an egg in KC as we're playing either TCU or ISU who apparently owns us this season. And I added that the right 14 can absolutely beat us. Will a 14 beat us? Never said that, could they? You bet your ass

Please, no more hyped up McDonalds All Americans that are projected to be "one and dones." Give me guys that get old while in Waco. Other than the occasional highlight real long range 3 or some off balance layup, George hasn't made the impact we were told to expect. Team player, ain't seeing it.

If they can make the big 12 final Im guessing they can get back to the 2 line but I agree this is a 3 seed. Terrible performance at every level.

Iowa st literally cannot win road games in the big 12. But cruise to a win here. Right up there with worst games of the year considering the circumstances.

You're contradicting yourself .if you think we'll lay an egg because ISU swept us..we could easily blow them out next week..and TCU doesn't own us..we split and loss by a point to them..

Previous results don't guarantee future performances..that is true more than ever in this league with all these good coaches..well regroup and be fine..that doesn't make me a sunshine pumper.

And would you quit putting words in people's mouth..that's your worst character flaw..I said ISU wasn't a sorry team..and you said I think they're a final 4 team

Langston playing instead of KG today, with Bonner also on the floor at same time, might have been a better mix.

We gonna give up near 50 points in the paint to tcu.

Not saying we can't overcome that but odds are long unless we completely change things up

It took a personal 16-0 run by Flagler to win the second tcu game. I think our football futility vs tcu bleeds over into basketball this year and we can say the early tourney exist was a "blessing" since "it doesn't really matter"

3 seed here we come. Still not a bad season. Just so much more was out there

That will pretty much guarantee Aggy a 6 or 7 seed. Whoop. Derp. Furk.

The day keeps getting worse. From what I've seen of the aggys since SEC conference play started, I hope we don't end up somehow facing them in the dance.

Solid team. Every team lingering around that 6-7 is a potential bad matchup. Uk, Duke, A&M, Creighton, TCU. A lot of room for movement still.. but if they get past round 1.. round 2 will be a very tough out

Unfortunately, I drove from Austin to see senior day. Wow, such a disappointment. Sometimes you have to tip your hat to the other team. ISU played great D. They pushed us far beyond the 3 point line and immediately clogged the lanes when we tried to drive. We needed to pass it out and hit more threes, but that wasn't working today.

I always want the Bears to win, but a first round loss in the Big 12 tournament might be good for us. We looked gassed today.

Rest and prepare for the NCAA tournament.

To make matters worse, WBB lost to WVU (swept too) & softball lost to the Aggettes.

Since we're keeping score, Bears blew a 5-4 lead tonight in Baseball, lost to Youngstown State again 7-5.

We also lost in women's tennis (to ArizSt) and horsey-riding (to TCU) , so that's 1-6 for the day. It's like the golden era of Tom Stanton and internal Improvements.
