Oklahoma St beat WVU 67-60 at home.

Huggins already threatening to kick his best player off the team. Should be no surprise to those that know Erik Stevenson… Can shoot you in and out of games as well as showboat and draw unnecessary attention to himself.

K-State up big over Texas at Texas. 49-33 w/ 4 min left in the 1st half.
-
How do you beat Texas 116-103 ? - - you shoot 61 % rom the field- – -you make 31-33 from the free throw line - -Nowell Scores 36 points --& Johnson scores 28. - - Nice defense
-
And then there were none.
The last remaining undefeated team in D1, 21st-ranked New Mexico, loses by 4 at Fresno State.
-
KSU clearly winning it all, anything less would be a disappointment.
-
Giving up 116 pts at home is beyond amateur hour, I know Texas is down a coach but wow you’re seeing why Terry is an assistant these days. Statistically the game was pretty even on both sides. 59 free throws shot, omg and we thought the ref crew in Lubbock was awful, imagine sitting through 46 fouls.
Texas let Johnson and Nowell shoot 19-31 from the field, 7/14 from 3, 19-19 from the FT line and combine for 66 points. Texas has fallen off
-
Should be more fun beating up on little bro this year!

Who ever thought that making Bruce Weber and that voice a TV studio host on BTN? He’s hard to listen to.

Their fanbase was insufferable until they got smacked by Bammer. Now they’re all revved up again. I had one say, " well it looks like there are two teams above the rest", and I told him…no there was 1 team- the rest are irrelevant!

44-22 and Lively and Whitehead are playing. I can’t figure out what Duke is trying to do on offense. It looks like they don’t have one.

Anyone wondering HOW Duke gets beat by 224 points to an unranked ACC team NC State.
Well this might be a big reason : - -Duke 1o assists & - -21 turnovers. - - -Getting beat on turnover points by NC State- - -30 - -2. - - Giving up 52 points to NC State backcourt. — - NC State 9 blocks - - Duke 2 - - & being outscored in the 1st half —44 - - -22 - - pretty good recipe for disaster
-
Mizzou blows a big lead and loses to Arkansas.
-
Nike delivered a handpicked squad to Duke and Johnny boy is going to lose 11 games with them.
-
Lol Baylor
-
Tcu looks really good! Fast.
-
Is Baylor the worst team in the B12?
-
I think West Virginia is worse.
-
No but they are not as good as the previous 3-4 Baylor teams which is a hard bar to continue to stay at. Cryer being off/on injured hurts them. They lack an athlete at the 4 position and Thamba being a non-scoring threat in the post makes them really perimeter oriented. It’s their defense that’s struggles the most not having that 4 man that can dictate the lane and disrupt.
TCU is a tough out especially with their experience and chemistry. I think they are our toughest matchup in the Big-12 this year 1-5. Extremely rare to see a team return its Top 8 players from a year ago.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer bunch:
Poor roster construction though. College Basketball got old because of covid, the transfer portal and now NIL. You cannot win today with freshman leading & the teams still trying to do it are behind the times. I’m glad Jon doesn’t realize what’s happening and will continue to stockpile the 5-6 HS players that dream of playing at Duke for a year before they leave.
I don’t even bat an eye anymore when Duke/Kentucky get all the hoopla 5 star recruits. It used to give them an advantage but now you can go get ready made players in the portal and negate those advantages.
I’ve said a lot just to say they are not Bill Self at recruiting, development & roster construction.

A look at the Big-12 via Kenpom and conference record so far. I’ll try and update this weekly.
-
Lifted this: thought it was pretty good:
Since Dec 1:
KU Opponents: 81 fouls KU fouls: 112
KU Opponents: 112 free throws KU free throws: 69
“Damn refs! Always helping Kansas win!”
-
We haven’t been driving the ball hard enough. Just look at the Tech game. I think their entire offense started with a hard drive into the paint. We need MORE people than JWil driving!
-
Situationally I think we have benefitted the last two games.
What I took away from those stats is that KU is not a good team at drawing fouls and getting to the line. KU is 315th in the country in FT attempts per game. A definite weakness that needs improvement. Getting to the FT line can be impactful and the difference in a game where both teams are even statistically etc. How KU is running offense and generating points is perhaps the biggest factor for why they struggle getting to the line. We’ll see what evolves of this moving forward.
-
Damn! The Big 12 is as tough as everyone is making us out to be!
KSU trashes Texas! Baylor loses at home!
We can’t fall asleep on anyone this year… we started to with OSU at home and it took quite the effort to pull that one out!
I’m curious if this will become one of those “typical Jayhawk conference” seasons? We win-out at home and take some on the road then we appreciate teams like KSU doing some dirty work for us by punching some of the other conference best teams…
I’m just not sold on us being that kind of team this year. With our outrageous talent and proudly wearing a Nattie trophy around our necks during the conference season it makes more sense that we become a great road warrior team and then sometimes fall asleep at home. I hope it’s not the case and we come ready for the rest of our games… if not… we will be totally embarrassed sometimes. But that can work, too. Thank you, Kentucky, for spanking us on our home court last year! lol

After 1 week of league play and having watched bits and pieces of almost every other Big-12 game it’s already clear that the officiating has been inconsistent and sub-par, some of it down-right embarrassing. I saw Iowa St shoot a ball off the side of the backboard out of bounds last night in the first half, get the ball back and score. You have to be blind to have missed the ball not being out of bounds. OU fans were livid. And there’s just too many examples of things like this already.
KJ Adams was held by his legs trying to make a layup with no call in the first half of the Tech game. Just stuff that shouldn’t be missed, blatant obvious stuff here. We all know he was fouled on his game sealing Dunk as well. A play that could have gone differently and horribly wrong given his speed and momentum to the rim.
Perhaps having 3 refs on the court isn’t enough though I doubt more eyes will make a difference. I hope the Big-12 is reviewing this stuff and having active talks. There’s no reason after 1 week to have seen this level of inconsistency in league play.

Feels like a year KU wins the league running away with it… Texas was primed to give us a run for our money until the Bear ordeal. I’m not sure anyone else really has the horses to do it. TCU could, but only if they are essentially perfect.
-
The round-robin schedule + KU’s dominance in league play has evolved this league into what it is. Self raised the bar single handily for every team and it’s morphed into this beast now. We should all enjoy it because this is the end of this great league’s magic with OU/Texas leaving for money.
The league will be in a transition for years to come after this royal rumble ends
-
I hope you are right, but I fear we will be in for a tough conference battle that will come down to the end.
The upsets are just an indication of the parity of our league. TCU, Texas, Baylor… tough teams. And I advise not falling asleep on KSU, WV, ISU… actually anyone!
-
I hate to be one of those fans that constantly complains about officials… but… you are correct!
-
I think the Big 12 may even become a tougher league.
I loveeeeee bringing Sampson (Houston) into our league. And I have a feeling we will be adding the Zags. The other additions are solid, too.
UT and OU made a difference in football… not so much in basketball. Eventually… our league will be represented across America, making it that much stronger for recruits. Texas is a monster state for basketball recruiting and I am happy to trade Texas for Houston.
I can’t wait to watch UT argue for power in the SEC. They just traded $ for irrelevance!
