Quad 1 Record

[TucsonTruckStop]

Our Oklahoma result moved to a Q2 loss, which prompted the question. 6 of the 9 remaining Q1 games on the road, which will be tough. The home games are Iowa St, Houston and Texas Tech.

The schedule intensifies in February. Finishing .500 against Q1 competition would be more than enough to make the tourney.

After watching Iowa State blow out KU this week, it's hard to imagine a situation where they don't win the league. Houston just can't score at their pace.

As of today, I am thinking:
TTech (away) L
Iowa State (home) L
ASU (away) L
BYU (away) W
TTech (home) W
Houston (home) W
Baylor (away) L
Iowa St (away) L
Kansas (away) L

Maybe we beat ASU and not I have not been very impressed with Kansas. So probably in the 6-8 win range.

No 12-4 option. My vote will be withheld.

It was not a blowout. Letting a game slip in the final couple minutes is not the definition of a blowout. Not anymore so than watching a team go down 20pts in the 1st half and crawl their way back within 6pts with 8min to go in the 2nd then going on to win or lose in a competitive setting.

True, it wasn't an annihilation. 17 points isn't a light loss, especially for a top-10 team.

Every time Kansas made a run to try and whittle the lead, Iowa State had a response and I can't recall the game being closer than 5 points in the 2nd half.

My point is that ISU is solid. They have an all-around game and they'll lose a few in conference play but I'd consider them a heavy favorite to be the Big-12 champ.

They are the B12's best bet to reach the F4 probably. They need their best shooter back from injury though. Not flashy, but really efficient.

I think they are the most suspect to be bounced early. They are more one-dimensional than people think. Maybe even more 1 dimensional than Tommy Lloyd.
