Had a great conversation with
@CycloneMBB
’s
@TheOnlyiZB
yesterday about why he chose Iowa State, his belief in TJ Otzelberger and why he is who he is on the court. The love he gets from Cyclone fans clearly goes both ways. He’s a big fan of playing at Hilton.
Really tough performance from
@TexasTechMBB
down to just 7 players tonight in Ames. In the end, it’s
@CycloneMBB
’s 1st Big 12 win since February 25, 2020.
A win is a win. Texas Tech held off Kansas State in an interesting game, but I’m certain Chris Beard will have them better and better each week as this unusual season moves on. So many good pieces.
Oklahoma is the highest ranked team in the NET (39) and KenPom (30) to miss out on the NCAA Tourney this year. A win over Texas Tech would've most likely put them in, but I thought the Baylor win was enough.
Tomorrow’s office. I’ve been looking forward to this moment for a while now. First DI college football game tomorrow night with
@RyanDLeaf
from an awesome venue. Duquesne @ TCU.
Huge game in Waco tomorrow as Baylor hosts Texas Tech. Red Raiders looking to take another step toward their 1st ever Big 12 title while Baylor hopes to win their 5th straight game and build that NCAA Tournament résumé. 7:30 ET on

Six Big 12 teams within two games of the top spot with six games to play.
Iowa State, even in a loss, showed what they’re capable of. And one shot away on multiple occasions from taking the lid off of Hilton. Just 1-14 from 3 and lost by 5 to

Great game in Ames, the freshman Lindell Wigginton w/ a career high 30 to lead Iowa St. over Baylor. Cyclones 1st Big 12 win of the season. Baylor back home Monday to host OK State, ISU travels to TCU Wednesday.
Headed back to KC after a very nice win for Drake over Kansas State. Roman Penn took over in the 2nd half for the Bulldogs. Wildcats with a lot of new faces and youth, but plenty to be excited about.
We all wish Eric Collins a speedy recovery. Eric lost his voice last night. He has given it his all all season.
@AUProSports
thanks him!
@ChuckieKempf
and
@daniellelawrie5
will take us home!
Iowa State’s last home loss was March 2, 2022… to Oklahoma State. Cowboys have won 2 straight at Hilton where the Cyclones are 12-0 this season. Let’s go!
Another fun one today in Lubbock as Texas Tech gets a big win on senior day. Keenan Evans leads the way for the Red Raiders with 23 points, all in the 2nd half. Big 12 Tournament time!! March is here!
