We win this game tonight, we'll be in the tourney.
Lunardi actually has us as the last team in the tourney right now (in a play-in game w/ Minn.), so that shows how we just need one big win and we’ll be good to go on Selection Sunday! Hook ’Em.
Follow me at your own discretion: @fahimizzle
that's not taking into account
If other teams win big games. We are far from being a lock. Just need to win and not worry about the tourney

Very cool
Robinson was always one of my faves back in the day.
Other than that, is the place pretty packed or is it a typical Longhorns baskeball crowd? I’m stuck at work so I can’t see for myself….
another reason
he is my favorite NBA player of all time

hang w/ KU & Mizzou at home and now in a must win game...
and we put that effort out there in the 1st half….yikes!
with KSU's defense, this looks like a bad matchup
they play physical and that got us into foul trouble. Also, they have the players to contain JCB
by goingforthecorner on Feb 11, 2012 2:05 PM CST up reply actions
I hate that Rick refuses to play Myck and Chapman at all when they have 2 fouls.
KSU played their guys and jumped out to a huge lead.
I get playing them less, but once you reach 5 straight possessions without a decent shot, let alone 12, you can probably rotate them back in for a quick two minutes.
playing better when we speed the game up....
that Utah “O” (or whatever Rick try’s to run) is not working
big 12 referees
espn had a an article the other day decrying poor officiating. 3 of the 4 examples were from the big 12.
Adrian Diaz is the one we need with 4 fouls

But horrid officiating and worse announcing.
Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
Great 2nd half
Easily our best half of the season. Lexi and J’Covan have had 2 of the best games of their careers back to back. I’m glad Wangmene is finally playing like we need him to especially with Chapman being ineffective due to fouls.
Great game though. A much needed win, let’s make it count and sweep the Okies next week

Sorry about that. It was just about as evident as the nose on my face this team was throwing in the towel. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall in the locker room at half. Not sure what happened but SHAZAM!, those mofo’s came out hungry, fighting, and moving their ass. Playing tough in the paint. It looked to me like the light came on for the young ‘uns. Big win and hopefully PB won’t call me a weeping vagina.
