[ousdahl]

where have I heard this before?

[PhDhawk]

Doyel gonna doyel.

We gotta get doyel and twocoach together. Their big boy pants will drop immediately.

[Soklous]

Double teamed the post for 40. Dared Garrett, Grimes and company to shoot it. Can’t do that with a Doke.

[sdoyel]

Its not that we lost. It’s how we lost. Another game played with no answers for this team. It only gets harder from here.

[pdub]

I mean, we just beat a ranked Oklahoma, no?
There were no answers in that game?

[NewtonHawk11]

Nah.

[Cascadia]

@OSU and @ISU are always the two hardest conference games.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Felt this game was coming for a month or so now.

This was an obvious loss once we learned dok was out. NBD. Moving on.

Not really. The second half was garbage.

Until this team can get Dok and Dedric on the same page (which can’t happen if Dok can’t stay healthy) and we get some people to knock down perimeter shots we will never come close to our ceiling. This team “as is” isn’t good enough to win the league.

This league isn't that good. We are fine to win this league.

Take a break man. If anything, this team has shown they can win this league with a C game. We’ve flirted with playing a D or F game and we actually did it tonight and got buried. Fortunately, it’s not a bad less in terms of league hopes.

Just top RPI and Kenpom.
So that means all other leagues really suck.

[shindig]

So I guess we lost? Missed the game.

I think we benefit from having less teams, and the fact that the bottom 4 teams in the big 12 are better than the bottom 4 teams in other power conferences. Big 12 doesn't suck. But it's strength is in the middle and overall quality, it's not top heavy. We are he only heavyweight.

Good day to play your worst game. No one was watching

[sdoyel]

KenPom now projecting ISU, Tech, and KU to 3-way tie at 12-6.

[pdub]

Top league in Kenpom and RPI.
It’s a good league.
It isn’t a “not that good” league.

And we aren’t going 12-6.

Yep. Too nice a day for early January to be watching basketball .

Streak in jeopardy.

Who gives a shit about the streak. We already own the record. Time to start looking towards bigger things. I want another championship. I thought that this would be a year that we would contend for one but at this point in the season it's not looking like it will happen. Hopefully we improve majorly going forward.
