We're better than Baylor
Baylor inbounds, dribbles, 3 attempt is no good!! CLock runs out! It's OVAH
@DanR I saw Dan Gable at a cold war friendly meet at Northwestern, US team against USSR team. He coached the US team.
@RockChalkinTexas Lubbock by 3, wacko ball with 19 seconds left.
FT good 3 points with 19 seconds left.
FT good
@DanR Dan Gable coaching hoops now? Wow!
Bayolor gets away with a foul. Refs trying to figure who it was out on. If it's not TT the fix is in, Vegas has spoken.
TT 1 pt lead 27tics
Waco university 2 FTs coming on the pre planned referee determined foul
Lubbock state turns it over. Waco St. ball. 36 seconds
bailer 3. 3 pernt lead for tt
TT guy just got raped in the lane, no foul, tie up. TT up by 6
@DanR The coaches are talking....
I'll be your play by play guy from Waco for the night
2 Fts for Baylor which misses front end. TT ball up by 4 with 50 left
Awesome dunk. TT by 4
@jessejayhawk Down to 2 points now with 1:39. the half filled dome is acting interested
@jessejayhawk No waco
TT by 7 with 2:30 left
Tech beating Baylor by 4. Makes me feel better about getting robbed in Lubbock the other day.
97 Senior day was most emotional game he ever coached. Scoring 150 against Kentucky was his other fvorite game.
Interviewing Roy Williams on radio feed right now
Radio dude says bad call
@Crimsonorblue22 Someone get over to Robinson Gym and find a guard
I'm glad I'm not watching!
@RockChalkinTexas Thanks for the radio link. Listening now. Unfortunately probably won't be able to watch as I have to go visit our daughter in Minnesota.
@DanR No, I can't watch. ESPN+ has me so messed up I can't subscribe even as I tried today. It's been a long soap opera of epic sadness and anger towards ESPN and towards our AD. I mean there's a whole ACC network to show ACC games and what's on ESPNU? Some crappy ACC game. Good grief, two top 20 teams? I know ISU wasn't highly regarded of early on but can't they do a flex schedule to get the good games on TV?
Is there a way to listen to this online?
Joel keeps chugging along, another 30 point effort. 13-13 FT's. I don't know enough about all the big guys in the league but he's got to be one of the better FT shooters out there among them. Oubre might be out hopefully just Covid, but he didn't play. Grimes had a nice game with 7 points and 6 assists.
Watched the Badgers face Danny and Maryland. After the Badgers opened up a 21 point lead Dannys kids fought back furiously and actually took a 3 point lead before the Badgers won. It's the 3rd game the Badgers have had a 20 point lead that they've blown and then recovered and won, and they also had a 21 point comeback to win. Pretty amazing.
Heady days in Los Angeles. Latest poll has UCLA 3 and USC 5. Not sure if there's ever been such a high ranking for both simultaneously. I never remember USC being this high to be honest. After what they did to us last year I'd rank them #1!
It's kind of funny. All off season, the sour taste of the really poor ending to the tournament, which interestingly was just a few weeks after we thumped Baylor, I was pretty guarded in my expectations. Even the team looked drastically different at some key positions it was still nothing I got really excited about. But then Ochai made the big leap forward and Christian did maybe even moreso than Ochai, and I was excited again. I've believed in this team all year, but the scoring issues that arose in the lost two have me concerned all over again.
I take the TT loss with a grain of salt because I seriously think it should have come down to a final possession type of game but there were some truly horrendous calls that repeatedly kept the ball out of our suddenly hot shooters hands. But the loss did show some of the same tendencies as the OSU game although TT was more talented and therefore able to pull it out.
BTW, as a non ESPN+ person, I'm really hoping ESPN will come to its senses and realize they have a top twenty matchup that much of the country won't see. I can probably live without seeing a KU TCU game, but I want to see ISU, like a lot.
Heck the Miami Heat went to Phoenix and beat them too by a bunch. Nice day for Miami and 78 degrees makes their day even better.
Ha, at least we didn't lose at home to a chump like Miami.
Wow, Marcus Morris with a huge effort in a loss today with 29 points and 8 boards. Made 4 of 6 3's.
17 turnovers never helps a team win I acknowledge. Jalen Wilson finally scores some points and inexplicably doesn't rebound the basketball. Obviously no one besides JW and OA were scoring. That of course was huge.
Non travel call in front of Self called a foul instead, 2 points them instead of our ball. Non 3 second call in lane leads to and 1. 3 more points for them. Charge called when Braun did exactly what they did to us 4 times in the first half and got the call. 1 point them. Our rebounder shoved out of bounds leads to and 1. 3 points. Braun gets whacked in face on dunk. Nada -1 point for us. Lose ball Harris shoved to ground, their ball. (I forget if that leads to points or not) 2 times very quick whistle for jump ball, the last one was egregious. 2 possessions lost. I know I'm missing some, but these calls were impactful.
@DanR said in Red Raiders:
Refs need a timeout to get their shit together
Nothing truer has ever been written on these hallowed pages.
No the red raiders didn't have an answer every time. This team in the last four minutes has been denied repeatedly the opportunity to possess the ball.
I'm so irate. Ask my wife.
Would have been our ball but we got fouled
@DanR Of course not. TT doesn't foul nearly as much
Braun was set just as much as the TT guys were in the first half. It's just so bad when refs influence a game like this. We haven't played that well I acknowledge but this is really bad.
Another referree induced momentum swing
Holy crap with all the charges they've called on us and they call that?
@RockChalkinTexas You ever been to sonic? Nothing but overweight people eat there!
But zebras belong in the zoo
I counted their big 4 seconds in the lane BEFORE the guy started his drive. I mean that's as basic a call as there is in basketball. One of the zebras watches the lane.
Wow Missouri beat Alabama
