The Horns are the most consistent inconsistent team I know of.

Winning at Kansas will be hard, doable but hard.

Can you post a bracket or where do I find a bracket?

I don’t see as big a gap between Gonzaga and the rest of the field.

I'll try to find one when I get back. I saw one posted briefly on screen last night during the game.

TCU still has to play two vs KU and then @WVa

Looks like TCU might have punched their ticket to the big dance. Big win over KU. Taking down Tech and KU in back-to-back games is impressive. Both games were in Fort Worth, but still, impressive.

Don't think anyone else posted this, but this is the new breakdown for basketball season tickets. I was looking at getting season tickets again since my daughter enjoyed the Tennessee game so much. LOL, there's definitely some increase in prices. I hope the students show up.

Anyone want to know why polls are crap? The women's team is ranked 9th. The Iowa St. team is ranked 8th, a team Texas beat 66-48 in Ames and then destroyed in Austin 73-48. This is the perfect example.

I'm not really sure this is a perfect example. Iowa State is 24-5 (13-4 in Big 12). Their 5 losses are to team all ranked in the top 10 (#9 Texas (2), #5 Baylor (2), and #6 LSU). They have 3 wins over top 25 teams.

Texas is 22-6 (12-5 in Big 12). Texas has lost to #18 Tenn, Texas Tech, Kansas, #19 OU, #5 Baylor (2). Texas has 4 top 25 wins including against #2 Stanford.

Comparing the resumes instead of the head to head seems to show two teams that are pretty comparable but I see no issue with Iowa State being 1 spot ahead of Texas in the rankings.

I think head to head should be the prevalent predictor especially when teams are as close as they are. To me that's a no brainer.

Texas is knotted with KU 55-55 with 3:31 left.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

57-57 with 15.8 left

We're in OT.

 

[Sirhornsalot]

Kansas wins, 68-61 final. We just didn't have the shooting to stay with them in OT.

So, we start with TCU on Thursday at 11am on ESPN2.  Other than KSU vs. WVU on Wednesday, everyone else starts play on Thursday. 

Hopefully, we shoot better from the floor and take better shot selection than what we did against Kansas.

What is important to know is that everyone other than Febres and Licon could come back for next year.

Not feeling great about today's game. It's hard to beat a team three times in a season, and TCU was hot to end the season.

Horns are up 40-22 at halftime. We're 7-11 from 3.  Sure, why not. LOL.
