Almost took Iowa State large tonight

[No coincidences]

Got busy with stuff right before tip and by the time I went to get a bet in, the Cyclones were already up 12-2. I had planned on playing the ML for 5U and the spread for 3U more (which means I would've just lost a few bucks, but there's a principle here).

Maybe this is a sign I should just quit gambling altogether? Can't imagine sitting through an implosion like that. When capping and being on the "right side" has absolutely nothing to do with it. Starting to think the gambling gods were sending me a message.

This is just typical Cyclone basketball. Live bet against them when they have big leads. Live bet them when they fall behind. Their style of basketball just encourages these large point swings.

I know ISU has a penchant for this -- we've both seen it happen multiple times -- but this was ridiculous.

Iowa State had no interest in clock management. They couldn't shoot the ball fast enough - it didn't help that texas was like 10-14 on three-pointers in the 2h as well. Honestly was a track meet until the final whistle.
