All games are big ones. Particularly ones on the road when you have a good shot at winning.

Btw Vegas has it at OU +1

Don't dig a hole first 5 minutes. We need 3 out of next 5.

 

[sperry]

Bad team, worse coach. It's time we finally beat these losers in Manhattan. It's like Kruger has a mental block on this one, but I think we've gotta have this to make the tourney.

Can we please, for the love of God, win this game.

Another espn+. Great, another revenue stream for ESPN. This game could have easily been on any of the ESPN channels.

Gotta exorcise this demon at some point.....might as well be tonight.

Yeah it blows, I paid the $5.99 or whatever, after this month I'll cancel it because we don't have any more games on the service.

Because I have a kid I just did the ESPN+, Hulu, and Disney+ bundle for $11 a month.

I get Disney+ free using my girlfriend's account lol. I already pay to stream wayyyy too many services.

This is the one you need if you don't want to sweat in March. This is the one if you want a little slack. We got some in Austin, and then forgot to hop off the bus in Ames. Tonight and in Stillwater are our two best shots at another road win in the league.

I sure hope we play well up there. We're certainly due after so many Bramlage clunkers.

Agreed. You have to win this one or it's a Tier 3 loss. You can't have those if you want to make the tourney.

The Big XII seems more top-heavy, barbelled this year than in most years. We can't afford to lose to those lower teams. This week we have to go to 2-0. Plus, it would be nice to finish at or near .500 this year and we cannot if we lose one of these this week.

it would not be a tier 3 loss and not really even close to one

it is a Q2 game and close to a Q1 game


Quadrant 1: Home 1-30, Neutral 1-50, Away 1-75
Quadrant 2: Home 31-75, Neutral 51-100, Away 76-135
Quadrant 3: Home 76-160, Neutral 101-200, Away 135-240
Quadrant 4: Home 161-353, Neutral 201-353, Away 241-353

It seems that many of us frequently forget that there are more than 350 Div. 1 basketball teams.

Seems like that number has grown substantially over the years.

50 in the last 20 years

78 in the last 30

and up 51 in the 80's all from after the expantion of the tournment

Yep, the only Q-3 game we have left as of now is the home game on Saturday with osu. Every other game we have left is either Q-1 or Q-2.

which as long as we win Sat means a season with 0 bad losses

I feel like the new metrics reward mediocrity.

If you're a middle of the pack team in the league, which we are, then losing to the worst team in the conference is a bad loss. West Virginia is very good. They're pushing for a top-4 seed in the NCAA Tournament. K-State blew them out in Manhattan. That is a BAD loss for West Virginia, regardless of tiers or quadrants or dimensions or prisms.

I want to win tonight. Rare do we go on the road in the league as the better team, but tonight is one of those nights. It'll either be a good win or a bad loss, and some newfangled RPI or NET or CIA or MOAB or NORAD is going to have a hard time convincing me otherwise.
