Official Big 12 Game Thread #2 - vs. Iowa State

[pdub]

I don’t actually think the streak is in jeopardy.
We need a worse team than this for it to be so.

We got our butt whipped today, but we'll be fine. It happens, yet we'll still find a way to win the conference again.

[Soklous]

Oh my God! It is January 5! We suck!

ISU normally 35% from deep.

Tonight 13-25.

And more than half those attemps would be classified as wide open.

[twocoach]

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.

Meh.we could lose every single road game to the other 4 teams in the top half of the Big 12 and still finish 14-4 and Big 12 champs. ISU will probably follow this by losing at Baylor.

If they have one of these at home then we have a problem. Self is going to be pissed at their pathetic effort and ridiculous turnove rate. We will see if they respond or if this is the start of one of those 3 game stretches of WTF.

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

KemPom predicts the end of the streak at some point every single season.

[kubandalum]

Still, makes you wonder why they can’t find a cure for so many turnovers. That’s been a problem all season.

Wish we still had the Doyel-meter. Doyel is funny though, give him credit. He makes no mention of Doke not playing.

I freaked out last year for a few weeks and we still won the conference. We might lose 4-5 games this year, but we'll win it again.

[sdoyel]

Aside from the eye test (which shows you this team isn’t very good), the statisticians and metrics hate this KU team. I wonder why? There is no hiding the flaws of this team. Dok or no Dok.

Most schools cannot win on the road.

This is way too alarmist and particularly exaggerative re: metrics.

Just remember how much all of you were freaking out exactly a year ago.

[pdub]

The metrics have picked us tying or loosing over the years.
Yet here we are, 14 straight.

[MICHHAWK]

I think it is.

Eventually the steak has to end. This team has all the requirements of a streak breaker.

[pdub]

Sure, the streak eventually has to end.
I don't believe this is the year - Self has found a way with less talented teams.

[sdoyel]

An experienced backcourt isn’t walking through the door boys and girls.

[sdoyel]

For the record, I believe Dotson emerges as our leader.

[CrimsonNBlue]

We won the league with Naadir Thorpe boys and girls.
