Iowa State 76

Yep. One of the youngest teams in the country too.

Great win Horns.

 

[NLeininger]

Couple this with the OU win over Baylor, and all of sudden the Big 12 looks a lot different than everyone thought 5 games ago.

 

[Big Tex]

Very nice win today.This team is pretty dang good. Barnes has gotten rid of the cancers and these guys are hard workers. We should be 4-1 in conference right now. That OU loss sucked.

Barnes said it was his fault he recruited the wrong guys the past couple of years. Said he would fix it. Good job Coach Barnes.

 

[SlickStreet]

I'm also happy in that the football recruits went to the game. Never hurts to have a nice victory like that to help the overall aura/atmosphere, even if it's hoops

Olson says it was first home win over an AP top-10 team since Dec. 22, 2009 vs. Michigan St.

 

[NLeininger]

Lammert had NO rebounds. That's cray. He so needs to get stronger.

Great Win....HOOK'EM

Was this an unexpected win? We need a few of those ad we need to win the ones we "should."

So far I'd rate this as Barnes best coaching job since his first season in 98. Clearly he's proven he knew what he was doing by having several kids leave after last season. I've been very critical of him the past 2 seasons and really have to give him kudos for the job he's done thus far.

 

[JimR]

Barnes is my favorite UT coach

WOW. I used to think that way about Shawn Bradley. How can you be that tall and not get a rebound?

 

[NLeininger]

I think with the way Texas is playing and the way Baylor is playing, they might get the game in Waco this weekend. Still though, have to continue the solid play against KSU and get that monkey off the back.

 

[KingKong]

Kansas St. will be a tough game. They play a lot like the Horns, no quit. Any recruits at the game? I am still hoping Barnes can pull Turner.

Here is something that stands out this season -- why is the worst shooter on the team taking the most shots?

It has been this way all season. As far as i can tell, Felix is the only player with the green light to shoot at any time.

Agreed. I love seeing him turn this thing around. Personally, I hope he can hang around and get us back into the mix for a Final Four again. I really like Barnes and his family and hope he can go out on a better note that Coach Brown.
