Texas Tech was favored against Iowa St?

Damn, that was free money. Or did TTU get back a bunch of injured players?

Unless my phone is wrong TTU was -1.5?  WTF?

I mentioned it yesterday here about John Higgins insane late night cross country trip, and noticed he's in Austin tonight for Baylor/UT. This is his third game in 48 hours.

For kicks, I looked up his schedule for the last week.

Last Tuesday - Piscataway for PSU/Rutgers
Wednesday - San Diego for USU/SDSU
Thursday - Corvallis for Utah/Or St
Friday - Off
Saturday - 7pm PST Palo Alto for Cal/Stanford
Sunday - 12:15 pm EST West Lafayette for MSU/Purdue
Monday - Austin for Baylor/UT

I'd bet money if I could on him being in Lawrence tomorrow night. Just a ridiculous schedule.

I bet on ISU within 5 seconds of seeing they were getting +125 ML odds.

Not sure what Vegas was doing. But boy is it nice when those bets slip through

They did play then close in Ames.....or not. 

[MuggsyB]

Perhaps I wrote too soon.....wow. 

[PGsHeroes32]

Baylors live by the guard die by the guard really came into play here.

I think every time they had a chance to tie one of the guards took just a god awful forced shot.

[wisblue]

Iowa State and Texas Tech going to OT.

[MuggsyB]

That was an epic meltdown from Iowa St.  Wow just wow. Not sure they can recover in overtime. 

[Dish]

ISU was up 59-36 with 12:30 to go, unbelievable.

Maybe they shouldn't have been ahead of us in the polls??

How the heck does Vegas nail a game like this? Makes so little sense that it appears fishy. What did Kenpom have to say bout this one?

Apparently Vegas was just toying with me.....


What an epic choke job though wow.

Incredible on both levels.  That was an all-time choke job by the players and coaches from Iowa St. 

[wisblue]

Texas Tech covered.

TT 66-64.

Oops, I was looking at the ISU page which said W 66-64. Still, Ken Pom had it as a close game.

KenPom had IAST as a two point favorite.

What an ugly last possession, three shots, each more ugly than the last

[PGsHeroes32]

I am firmly of the belief that ISU wins that game if Otzelberger has a shirt that actually fits.

[MU82]

TJO might be a great coach, but that was not a great coaching job down the stretch. A bunch of hero-ball 3-point heaves when they didn't even need them. Well-earned loss.

Not to mention the 13 or so turnovers against the TTU press. 

[Carl]

Well MU just just bumped up 1 in the rankings at least. Baylor actually looked pretty good in their loss too. Texas just didn't miss in the last 5 minutes, including all their FTs down the stretch. I bet against Baylor bc I still just can't get that Marquette beat down out of my brain

[PGsHeroes32]

Not to mention the 13 or so turnovers against the TTU press.

TJO put way too much trust in the freshman point guard.

Kid was rattled and already cant shoot as it is. The offense stalled big time.

[Dish]

From 10:10 - 4:20 in the second half, ISU had 8 turnovers and 0 (!!!) attempts from the floor.

[MarquetteMike1977]

Texas Tech beat Iowa State by the same score 80-77 in Overtime that Marquette last to UW to in overtime. Not that it means much or anything

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

Vegas always knows
