Bandaogo, although still recovering from his back injury, tonight, certainly provided a glimpse of the Aziz we had all been expecting.... a bone fide difference maker.

The best win of the Miller tenure here. This team is finding out what it means to play hard.

CWM said on post game comments that Thomas was in at the end for defense. He sees them every day in practice. Knows who he can trust. Did you notice they held a team averaging 90 PPG to 60? On their home court?

If you don't like my take, how about Terry Nelson? He tells it like it is. And he was raving about the Bearcats' defensive effort tonight.

No, I don't always agree with CWM's decisions. But I trust him to make the best decisions in totality.

I applaud your passion for our Cats. Let's just realize this isn't all about slash lines. There are things that happen in the moment that don't show up there but do on the scoreboard.

Great win for the Cats. Great banter here on the comments. Love that we have this forum to do so. So long as we keep it clean and not get personal, this is great stuff.

1-0 in the Big 12! Let's see about 2-0!!!

[Jeff Burk]

why the negativity?' we beat a ranked team on the road which hard to do in any conference!

[red_n_black_attack]

Ball movement and moving without the ball that we haven’t seen all season. Big play so far in the Big 12.
It's almost like Wes played stale stand around ball all season until about 8 minutes left in first half.

I hope not, is there a feeling James will leave? That would be devastating!

James will be the starter by season end.

A comparison of James and Thomas stats:

Thomas: 0-7 FG, 0-2 3FG, 4-4 FT, 2 Assists, 7 TOs, 3 PFs, 5 RBs
James: 4-7 FG, 1-2 3FG, 3-3 FT, 1 Assist, 0 TOS, 2 PFs, 3 RBs

No we are not getting paid to coach, but really? We should all question this decision. I agree with Corporateballa that James will be playing elsewhere next season and Miller will regret not playing him over Thomas.

Hey, they won. On to Texas.

[London 'Cat]

So happy none of you are the head coach.

Day Day 4 points, all from the line. 7 turnovers.
Jizzle 12 points, 0 turnovers.

And there you have it Brother!

[longtimefan]

We looked awful the first 10mins of the game. But kept grinding it out, and looked better in the 2nd half..

I'd still want to see more James over Thomas. Great Win! Biggest in a few years!

a win is a win is a win....reading all the comments is great
but yeah, jizzle > day day...I have to think by mid season, if he keeps it up, and if day day doesn't get it together, jizzle will be trusted last 8 minutes

[John P]

So many negative comments and they won the game, I can't imagine what happens if they lost.
Who expected to see the cats win this one.
Kudos to the Cats. Road games are always tough and playing against a ranked team makes it even harder. I'm glad to see the get the upset and hopefully it give them some confidence going forward.

Lot of questionable calls went against us, great game by the big guys.
