This is a rough stretch. We have won once I think in Manhattan in Big 12 play. I could be wrong. I like our chances at home against Nebraska, but even that is no gimme. We have had some great victories in Norman and I hope for another one. Baylor is looking more and more and impressive, so I think a win in Waco is a tall order. 2-2 would be good, protect home court and steal one in Norman. A win in Manhattan would be marvelous and a win at Baylor - early Xmas. We need 4 more wins to assure an NCAA bid, plus a signature win. I think the best chance for that is the Aggies at Home. Hook 'em.
Definitely a tough stretch coming up but I think we're in pretty good shape right now. The Horns are tied for 5th in the Big12 and remember, we were picked to finish 4th in conf before Cokie's injury. And many pegged us to finish with 20 wins and we're currently at 15 with eight games and the conference tourney still to play. I think this team has done a good job of responding to adversity, and injuries. As well all know Chassidy is playing great basketball, AG has continued to improve as the season progresses, and the Nash sisters....well, they're the Nash sisters...enough said! I know AT has been struggling a bit lately but you have to assume she's going to find her shot again sooner rather than later. She is too good of a basketball player to be missing as much as she has lately. Keep it up Horns and finish strong!
To recap from the game played on Jan. 5, 2000 (I just picked that date cuz it’s the start of the decade). Doesn’t include games played in the Big 12 tournament.From the UT stats page-home games are in Austin:

It’s tough to win at KSU but Horns have done it more frequently than we recall. Before the loss on 03/04/09, Horns had taken two at KSU. Some of those games have been really close and KSU has a very good team this season. It should be a battle between two teams that are a lot more similar than they are different. Wish it was on TV.
