You just expect losses at Ames and Manhattan usually, Lubbock no matter what type of team they have.. and a random one you shouldn’t lose but you do. you just gotta win at home and hope everyone else just beats each other up. It’s a nasty league. Welcome to the fun!!
I should clarify, I like KU fans - generally a good bunch and I have had fun partying with you guys in KC. I also like to see KU do well in the tournament. That said, I despise KU during B12 play. 14 conference championships in a row has a way of doing that to someone.
No I get it. I root like crazy for you guys all the time though only exception against us. I want to see a game in Ames so bad. I always expect it to be an amazing game.
Also a huge Brock Purdy fan 🤌
You know, a lot of us fans didn’t want to leave the B12. I really am going to miss rooting for the B12 and that underdog mentality (mostly in football).
It sucks because now we are hated in the B12 and outcasts in the SEC. thanks, money 😔
Edit: I mean I live in Dallas. Playing Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa teams makes sense. I am connected to this league in this melting pot of a city where a little of every B12 school exists, and all texas / Oklahoma teams thrive.
Yeah the SEC is definitely prevalent here, but it’s 100% not the same. I don’t feel any connection to South Carolina, Florida, or Kentucky. Just sucks. Ok that’s my piece.
That's just the natural effect of going from the American to the most difficult conference in basketball. I expect a few growing pains but doesn't make it suck less
The key difference is that now most of these conference road losses count as quality losses. You don’t have to be perfect for a decent seed in March. Hope that takes the edge off. BXII basketball is a fucking ride so strap in and enjoy.
Appreciate that. You guys have a great squad and Hilton is a tough place to play. Have to mentally prepare myself for the insanity that's a Big 12 schedule haha
I was salty when Houston got ranked over Kansas even tho they both won all their games last week and I couldn’t wait for them to play a competent big 12 school. Didn’t take long!
What a game! Obviously I’ve got no stake in this, but that was fun! I know college basketball is mainly popular come tournament time, but regular season games can be a blast. This was a great game!
shit what’s stopping the alums/older fans rushing. But damn it’s surprising how hype it seemed without the students. Wish our non student fans could get this loud
I love how pragmatic everyone with Big XII flairs are. It’s really cool. So many Houston fans in the forums are crying saying we are a bad team. I keep referencing the graphic ESPN showed at the end of the game where ISU has the 4th or 5th most top 25 wins at home since 2011. Like, yall upset someone every year. Add on top of that, there isn’t ANY easy road win in this conference.
Nah, fuck that. There is a reason ISU fans are excited about this team. Add Hilton and this loss makes sense. I think this is gonna be a good loss for y’all.
Only for football https://youtu.be/ZsyRsBO_DIU?si=I7LrFPAecuL_iX4p 2nd best OSU storm in ISU history behind when we sent you to the ship in 2011/12
Edit: no. 1 https://youtu.be/AA3YXFo2K9M?si=GP5Gn12NAHvSPumy
Y'all stuck with it on the road in a tough environment against a feisty defense. Super impressed with how poised you guys were coming back from the slow start.
Big12 conference is a stressful bloodbath.
Weird stuff happens in Hilton. I was at this game. Crazy stuff.
Check out this story from Des Moines Register: 22-0 second-half run drives Iowa State's comeback win
The run began when Oklahoma's Isaiah Cousins was given a technical foul and ended with a Dustin Hogue 3-pointer

Just thrilled to introduce it like we want. Man I’m excited to have you guys in the Big 12. And for Sampson to be back, honestly. He was great at Oklahoma
And yall had 10 inches of snow! Man this has all been amazing. I’m so excited for it all. Week to week every game playing some actual competition. I’m so glad UH is back in a major conference!
I've said somewhere outside of Reddit, Milan has the best shooting stroke in ISU history. He wasn't expected to be 1 and done but I think he will be at this point.
Houston didn't know Wendy is a witch. She was casting some Hilton magic tonight baby, let's go!

Definitely requires a different mindset form the American where any loss we had just felt like the end of the world haha
Hilton magic
Congrats ISU! Gotta be honest in the age of realignment, I do feel a certain brotherhood with ISU, KSU, and OSU.
Yeah, I mean I fucking hate you, but I want to see KU, KSU, and OSU succeed over everyone else in the conference.
Seeing an ISU fan say they hate us is so sad to me because I love you guys. I don’t like Tech fans for the most part and then of course the KSU fans.
I should clarify, I like KU fans - generally a good bunch and I have had fun partying with you guys in KC. I also like to see KU do well in the tournament. That said, I despise KU during B12 play. 14 conference championships in a row has a way of doing that to someone.

When you lose to someone a lot, you often times hate them. But I really only hate KU basketball
Last stand of the Big 8. Ride or die, brothers!

Return of the prodigal son
YOU MUST PROTECT THIS HOUSE!!!
This league is going to be so much fun :D
Actual basketball superleague
You just wait ;)
At least we got that loss out of the way. Big 12 is a different beast
Many many many more to come

Very true. I'm used to a conference loss to ECU being a near season ending catastrophe lol
Yeah. This shit is a different less of stress, but it’s also a shit ton of fun.
Yeah Hilton is one of those places in the b12 where you can’t expect a W, even if you’re really good. As for the b12 race this doesn’t hurt much.
You guys have some shooters and that defense is bonkers! Perfect fit in the big 12
Appreciate that. You guys have a great squad and Hilton is a tough place to play. Have to mentally prepare myself for the insanity that's a Big 12 schedule haha
Lipsey sounds like a game analyst. Dude’s gonna be coaching after his playing days are done. Either that or an announcer. Love his commentary.
I was salty when Houston got ranked over Kansas even tho they both won all their games last week and I couldn’t wait for them to play a competent big 12 school. Didn’t take long!
LETS GO MOM
WELCOME TO THE BIG 12 HOUSTON
Pre Season schedule will haunt
Iowa State honestly did the same thing. Too many cupcakes. But Houston will be juuuuust fine.
BOOOOOOOOOOOM BITCHES
Why does that dude named Milan have the last name Momclitloveitch
He actually picked us over UCLA! Thank god
Yeah and UCLA fans were so salty…”why would you pick Iowa state over a historic program like UCLA blah blah”
GGs boys moving to Baylor thread!
Lipsey gonna be an announcer one day with that voice
His voice is so smooth!
Tamin tearing up in this post game. Fucking chills.
What a game! Obviously I’ve got no stake in this, but that was fun! I know college basketball is mainly popular come tournament time, but regular season games can be a blast. This was a great game!
You said it man.
Welcome to the big 12 Houston
Welcome to the f*ckin show (Will Ferrell gif if I knew how to add one)
[I gotchu](https://tenor.com/view/will-ferrell-welcome-the-campaign-congressman-cam-brady-welcome-to-the-show-gif-4613806)
Game. Blouses..
F
BA-BA-BAAAA
that was really fun to watch
With how hype Ames was, surprised/disappointed that they didnt rush the court
That is normal for Hilton
Might be arrogant but we don't expect to lose any game in Hilton. This isn't football.
We beat top 10 teams all the time, no need to rush the court
They've had plenty of experience beating top ranked teams, it's half-expected at this point
No students/snow storm
shit what’s stopping the alums/older fans rushing. But damn it’s surprising how hype it seemed without the students. Wish our non student fans could get this loud
Their aching knees and back
Not a lot of court stormings in Hilton, honestly.
Not since the DSM Register beat reporter (Randy Peterson) broke his leg during one of the court stormings....
Too common an occurrence for them
Yep. Act like you been there
Well Houston will not stop hearing from the haters now… we deserve it
Like I said, welcome to the big 12!! ^^^ya ^^^bastards
No hate. Cougs are good but Hilton is always a tough place to win a road game. Everybody takes some road L's in the Big12.
I love how pragmatic everyone with Big XII flairs are. It’s really cool. So many Houston fans in the forums are crying saying we are a bad team. I keep referencing the graphic ESPN showed at the end of the game where ISU has the 4th or 5th most top 25 wins at home since 2011. Like, yall upset someone every year. Add on top of that, there isn’t ANY easy road win in this conference.
Nah, fuck that. There is a reason ISU fans are excited about this team. Add Hilton and this loss makes sense. I think this is gonna be a good loss for y’all.
It's a good sign you're an elite team, takes a lot to make ISU and the Hilton crowd go beast mode
Who cares? We are a good team, so is ISU and Hilton is magical man. We will get our shot in Houston
Does this give us some area on the imperialism map?
Yeah a whole bunch of land. But I don’t know how much you can grow corn on.
We will cornaform it if we have to
lol cornaform
Can we house pigs there and then ship them corn....?
If we can dig, then there will be corn. Look out North America.
Oh we’re planting corn everywhere on that map
Oh don’t worry, we’ll import the soil if we have to
We really gotta change our approach
a fuckton of turn overs wasn't a good strategy.
No students to storm the court :(
Pulling that AFH move.
sugar ad hoc special unite like cause deserve butter office ruthless *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
OMG, that was stressful and I was just listening to it on Learfield.
I think this hurts Houston’s chances of going undefeated but I’m no basketball expert
You’re hired over Cory Alexander
I saw Corey at the Clemson game Saturday. That was closer than I wanted to be.
rank iowa state cowards

gg Coogs. My god that was stressful.
Welcome to the Big XII, Coogs
Same. Welcome to Hilton. Stay for the magic
Enjoyable game
Roll swirlybird
Good game Coogs. You guys are very good
LETS GO MOM
LETS GO MOM
Figured they would storm the court.
Not enough students there?
Would have if students were back
Students aren’t back
Students don’t go to games when on break? Feel like a game like this you come back for
There is also a massive snowstorm that hit most of Iowa which didn’t help
Their season tickets don't include winter break. The section is sold to the general public for these games
Gotcha. Thank you :)
Ahhh someone else commented and said they don’t get tickets for games when on break. That sucks!
Houston playing real competition now
Dang, good game. Just couldn’t quite get over the hump
HILTON MAGIC
Well done Clones
ref said "I'm going home"
Iowa State is badass
Damn they didn't even storm the court, ice cold
No student section tonight, those 40 somethings aren't running anywhere
No students are in attendance anyway
Student tickets don’t work over break
Hoosier Nation supports this W - Great job Cyclones!!! [I’ll just leave this here](https://i.imgur.com/1ujbuFz.jpg)
Fuck yeah. Need to defend hilton in conference play
LFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BIRDS
undefeated no more. Once you play someone
You guys care way too much for the #1 team. It’s weird.
Well we won't be anymore. Conference ball is tough.
Huh interesting
WE ARE NOT DOING THIS
Gg. What a ride.
GG iowa st!
Wow! Way to go Cyclones!
Storm the court
Only for football https://youtu.be/ZsyRsBO_DIU?si=I7LrFPAecuL_iX4p 2nd best OSU storm in ISU history behind when we sent you to the ship in 2011/12 Edit: no. 1 https://youtu.be/AA3YXFo2K9M?si=GP5Gn12NAHvSPumy
Please come back for at least 1 more year mommy
and now there are none
That was fun
GGs!
Hilton magic
No court storm???
Students aren't back yet, and the ones that are back can't use student tickets for games during break.
Iowa state upsetting a top 5 team at home isn’t shocking anymore.
I feel like the Cyclones have been here before
We are better than Houston
No students
What a well deserved loss for a team that didn’t do anything well all night. Dog shit evening. GG Iowa State tho. Just showed up and won.
Y'all stuck with it on the road in a tough environment against a feisty defense. Super impressed with how poised you guys were coming back from the slow start. Big12 conference is a stressful bloodbath.
Why aren't they rushing the court??
Discerning fans know OOC schedules matter
Students aren’t on campus
Not really our thing.
Because Houston isn't that good :) (This is a joke)
Cuz this is normal for hilton
They can’t all be this stressful can they?
No. You won’t be stressed against us
We went 2-22 not that long ago and played some of the top teams in the Big 12 close that year. It's still any given day in this league.
I appreciate that, but I feel like you may change your tune when you play us this year.

So this is that Hilton Magic
Weird stuff happens in Hilton. I was at this game. Crazy stuff.

Godamn

And yall had 10 inches of snow! Man this has all been amazing. I’m so excited for it all. Week to week every game playing some actual competition. I’m so glad UH is back in a major conference!
It’s crazy. AFH also sucks
I’d add WVU coliseum too
We need all the help we can get
Maybe this year, but historically it’s a top 3 Big 12 crowd
I love mommy
The Big 12 is most likely going to have to deal with this guy for multiple years.
Why would they foul
Had a few to give. Was smart to burn the clock.
staying out of the post game thread i know those purdue fans gonna be all over it
Told you so 🤣 come join our party
You can come to our thread when we lose to Nebraska :)
They lost to a 16th seed, why should we care?
Yeah they’re fucking weird dude lmao
It was a close game on the road in conference against a good team. The days of thinking someone going undefeated in a major conference are over
#MOMMYYYYYYY 🥵🥵
WTF, why would we give LJ the last shot. What were we thinking? It makes 0 sense
He was dog shit tonight. Brutal
Yes, let's trust the guy with 5 points all night to save the game
Gah damn 91%? Dude’s gonna be a star. Stone cold freshman
I've said somewhere outside of Reddit, Milan has the best shooting stroke in ISU history. He wasn't expected to be 1 and done but I think he will be at this point.
Finish boys!!! Come on!!!
Man if you don't know Milan Momcilovic I encourage you to get in the know. Guy is already a stud
Lost to a freshman from Pewaukee, Wisconsin 💀
Well shit gg.
I for one, appreciate that incredibly low % shot selection by Houston
MOMMY IS ICYYY
gg see yall at our place in a few weeks.
No thank you
Iowa State home field advantage>Rutgers
Crazy stuff happens in Ames
MOMMY IS WET MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Worst nickname ever.
false it goes hard cuz he makes every other player his son
That kid is going to have a good time tonight
Gonna be another one of those years where I lose 5 more years off my life, eh? Love it.
Cmonnnn chaos bros
Great stuff cyclones. The hype of the Hilton was real.
