Any other season I'd call this one a laugher, Comeback unlikely, but just sayin;.

ISU by 7 at the half at Bramlage. Going nuts from three as usual.
@Crimsonorblue22 Then again, since when has Huggins been big on academics? Din't one of his Cincy teams have a zero percent graduation rate?
@Crimsonorblue22 Thx.
What was the story behind those WVU dismissals? Anybody?
And off we go!
@Fightsongwriter Yeah. Like the classic look.
The NFL seems to not have this problem. They have the sense to switch to another game when it's a blowout.

@BShark Man I loved Jacques. Such a class guy. My favorite JV story which shows his personality and intelligence...
Jacques had made a diving play into the scorers table to try to fling the ball back inbounds but the ref whistled him out of bounds. JV said to the ref: "You can't call that...you are negating my hustle!"
What college kids says that? What a Hawk!
My favorite Jacques moment...draining a three to beat Bobby Knight & Indiana. My old KU girlfriend and I were both back in town from our respective cities for a holiday reunion. Couldn't score tickets to the game, so we watched it in a bar at 19th & Iowa. Great evening.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Amen to that. He seems to get the most out of his players. No McDonalds All-Americans on that squad as far as I can recall.
Dunno...Glenlivet rocks?
This one deserves an extra nightcap.
Wish OU could've done us a favor though.
A for effort, shorthanded no less.
Wow. Just Wow. Pure grit.
Lineup getting mighty thin. Gotta gut this one out.
Happy to be wrong on this one. Thought when Mitch fouled out we'd lost our mojo.
Put a fork in 'em.
Another recurring bad dream...
Bout time they called the bump
Another bailout. Great D tho
MOTM - Mitch Of The Match !
@Crimsonorblue22 OU hanging with Baylor so far tonight
Got the signal back. Good.
@Bwag Damn snowstorm. 18 inches in 9 days.
WTF! Did ESPN lose the feed, or just my cable?
Jeez Grimes
And there's that run...
YOU JUST GOT MITCH-SLAPPED !
Coming out with good energy. Feel like they're on the verge of a big run.
Three the easy way.
GOAL TEND
Closeups of that court hurts my eyes. Looks like a TV test pattern.
Nice ball movement
Tough viewing choices tonight...Westminster Dog Show, endless snowstorm coverage, or a KU road game?
This is what passes for a comfortable win nowadays. The new normal. Just need this kind of intensity on the road.
I remember watching Magic beat KU that season 40 years ago. First time I'd ever heard of the guy.
Wheaties time!
Well. here goes nothing....bench gotta step up today.
Anyway, watching the game is a nice excuse for not shoveling snow. Got half a foot overnight here in the Puget Sound area. Between the icy streets and all the hills, the city's pretty much at a standstill. Second big snow in a week...very rare for here.
@Texas-Hawk-10 My bad. Louisville's in the ACC, not AAC. (I still hold to my opinion about Geno.)
Props to the Louisville women's team. (That's the UL team without the scandal.) . They just knocked off UConn, their first loss ever in an AAC Conference game. Nice to see Geno Ego taken down another peg. Maybe ESPN will stop slurping him, though I doubt it.
@Crimsonorblue22 Their QB just said he won't transfer despite the probation. Still, every little bit helps.
And with Mizzou now on probation, that can only help our recruiting there.

@nwhawkfan serious?
Only slightly exaggerating. Out next two games are vs. Tech at home and KSU at Bramlage. I could see this team going on a losing streak. I'm not seeing a whole lot of confidence on the court.
At least we have enough wins to qualify for the NIT.
They keep giving us invitations and we keep saying "no thanks".
Okay...fork inserted. And it shouldn't have even taken this long.
@KirkIsMyHinrich Yeah, I don't see him having an Embiid-like impact to impress NBA scouts, especially in only a half-season.
Some might call this type of game "scrappy." Me, I'd drop the S and leave it at that.
Our D is making Osetkowski look like Ostertag tonight.
