Zags v. Tex. Tech at noon Saturday on CBS should be fun. Its played in Phoenix so Zags have to play a road game against a decent opponent. ESPN has the Zags favored by 8.5, but I’ll be rooting for the Big 12. No one may say the Zags are still playing a soft schedule: Duke, UCLA and Alabama.
I don’t think anyone has ever really accused Gonzaga of playing a soft non-confernce schedule anytime in recent history. Now they’re starting to be able to get some better teams coming to Spokane, but most of their highest profile non-confernce games are typically road or neutral court games. Seattle has typically been the closest they can get a major team to come play them.
-
Tech loses to Gonzaga. Tech got it close in the 2nd half, then Gonzaga pulled away. Tech was playing without Terrence Shannon, who’s averaging 14.3 ppg this season. Probably closer if he plays.
TCU with a solid win road win against Georgetown. Georgetown is pretty bad but road games are hard.
-
Kentucky is crushing UNC by about 25 with about 10 minutes left.
-
Just to see the court, check out LSU against LATech. See Kenneth Lofton Jr, a wide body among wide bodies playing for tech. He’s on some preseason lists. It’s on CBS sports network
-
Baylor flopping around! Getting called too! They’re good at that!
-
I’m surprised somebody doesn’t have seizures looking at Oregon’s court. Ugh

I’ll just go ahead and get this over with, think that Gonzaga is overrated - Sweet 16 tops.

Baylor comes from 10 down in the first half to beat Oregon. The Ducks aren’t that good this year, but it’s a true road win in a tough environment over the two time defending Pac 12 champs. It’s pretty clear that the road to the B12 title now runs through Waco, not Lawrence. This from CBSSports:
“This victory over Oregon doubled as the 400th career win for Drew, a likely future Naismith Memorial Hall of Famer who has turned Baylor into an undeniable power. The Bears are now 64-6 in their past 70 games and on a 16-game winning streak that dates to last season. In that stretch, Baylor has beaten Gonzaga, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Houston, Michigan State, Oregon, VCU, Stanford, Arizona State and Villanova (twice). Incredibly, each of those wins has come by at least eight points.”
Pretty remarkable run…

Baylor is the real deal for sure. The Conference is going to be a real Bear. - -Wait oh get it - - ( A real Bear ) lol - -really didn’t mean for it to come out like that butttt - - figure this Baylor - - Texas - - Ku - and even to a lesser degree Iowa State , the real surprise team n the league. Amazing what happens when you get a real Coach - and then watch Texas Tech to beat a couple of the Contenders during the season - -nothing easy.
Then on a little side note, I hope some people aren’t thinking this KU/Uk Big 12/SEC challenge is going to be east whether it’s at the phog or not. - not even close to the team they were last year. Destroyed NCarol yesterday. - -TY TY , but the big question is who is going to stop oh hell big boy - -the transfer from West Virginia (Tischibue I know not even close on the spelling sorry & others going to have the Phog at it’s best
-
@jayballer67 well we have 6 weeks until that game. We’ll see how the teams look then.
-
Espn2 has Frank mason g league. Only has 8 mins left.
-
Bruce rocking the chin diaper while screaming at his players in registers only dogs can hear is peak Bruce
-
Thank you for the expression that allows me to taste Bruce while also holding my ears! lol
-
So Alabama gets beat by Davidson 79-78 - -& Xavier loses to Villanova 65-55
-
Texas Tech & Texas both playing games this afternoon - -kind of different. - -Tech plays at 1
-
So you think Huggy is feeling really bad Oscar Tshiebwe left - -got away ?-- Lordy 14 points &- - -TWENT EIGHT - - – -TWENT EIGHT rebounds and the game is not ove.
I’m afraid what the hell he going to do to us on the Boards not going to be pretty Mercy oh Mercy an Animal
-
Illinois-Misery. Go Illini! BTN just started.
-
Tennessee is 56 seconds from ending # 6 Arizona’s undefeated Season they are up 4 possibly 5 if Fulkerson makes his free throw. - - -And Miss. . Arizona down 4 with 21 seconds to go. Arizona down 3 with 13.6 seconds to go. 74-71 - - - And DOWN goes Arizona 76—73 - -not undefeated anymore love it
-
Missouri is making 25% of their 3’s on the season. That’s good for 348th nationally! Kofi destroying human life on his way to the goal.

KJ, I think, is our best matchup with that guy. Too bad KJ is a year away from big minutes
-
UCLA cancelled it’s 2nd consecutive game due to COVID infections. Next game vs. Arizona next week. Hopefully they’re totally recovered by then.
-
Duke losing to Virginia Tech in the early parts of the 2nd half. Only losing by 4 so the coach k retirement tour whistle will kick in i’m sure.
-
Couple days after leapfrogging KU in the AP Poll after beating the mighty mighty California Baptist, Arizona loses to Tennessee 77-73
-
@wissox watched while chatting with my tech buddy. They collapsed under dukes pressure second half.
-
@approxinfinity Ironically I checked back in the latter parts of the 2nd half and the first thing I heard was “Oh he got fouled and nothing was called”. #coachkwhistle

We should do with him what we should do with every threatening rebounder we face… everyone put a body on him. It’s called “team rebounding” and it works when used. When a shot is going up everyone looks for that guy first to make sure he is sealed off.
-
Badgers had a game scheduled last minute with George Mason which is coached by familiar name Kim English. It was just cancelled as the Badgers too have the virus.
-
@wissox keep us posted on your symptoms, may they be mild!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 So far some loss of taste and a bit achy and fatigued. If COVID wasn’t a thing I’d just think I had a minor bug or something.
-
I have it too, found out yesterday. Same symptoms as @wissox. Had I not been vaccined I would’ve undoubtedly been alot worse off than I am now, the shots basically turning it into a cold.
Never a good time to get it, but it really sucks having to isolate during the holidays. Bigtime bummer.

Dam sorry to hear man , we got KU guys dropping like flies - -just take care of yourself and you’ll beat this thing - -get well soon buddy

@Marco Did you lose your sense of taste? That’s the worst as this house is full of once a year kind of stuff I can’t hardly taste at all!

Not fully yet, but getting there. Was just diagnosed yesterday. It really sucks not being able to be around the rest of the family on Christmas. How long have you had it? Did they tell you the variant? They didn’t tell me. Just said I was positive. And like a dummy I didn’t even ask.
Girlfriend gave it to me, and like myself she is fully vaccinated with the booster. We’ve been pretty careful. Really, we have no idea where we got it.

I don’t remember Alondes Williams at Oklahoma:

@Marco I did a home test, so I have no clue if its the variant. Tried to get the test at a testing site. But symptoms including taste bud loss made it seem obvious I have it. I’m on my 3rd day of it.

PCR tests don’t determine which variant of Covid you have, only if the virus is present or not.
-
Ugh, sorry about the covid woes for some of you. No fun. I must be a giant wimp…just got my booster shot the other night and it’s kicking my ass. Two days of 100+ fever, the shake rattle and rolls, headache, body aches, sweats, you name it. Sucks!

@jayballer67 he’s completely tearing it up at Wake Forest.

is he wanting to transfer out or what ?
-
@jayballer67 no, I’m saying he was a non-factor at Oklahoma, went to WF and is All-ACC. Interesting to me.

Ahh hell I didn’t even know he had played at Oklahoma lol

I’ll be dang if it isn’t starting to fall in place like I was afraid of. - -KU has now missed two games in a row because of the Covid , Vanderbilt & Stanfords game a Championship in a tourney was Canceled , Big East Cancelling games , SEC revising on how they are handling COVID games - - the ACC - - Duke just Cancelled their next two games because they are having COVID issues…
Other schools in the same boat. - - I’m just afraid we are starting to see a repeat of last year. True things have changed , I mean we have the shots now but still going to play havoc- -already is , Were going to find ourselves in a bunch of make up games – -we have league starting - -theyre just not going to blow those games off - -gonna have to be played sometime. They have said with this latest strain the Omicron - not nearly as dangerous maybe hospitalization wise Death wise - -this strain ALOT mor Contagious ALOT easier spread - just worried as you can see things growing - -keeping fingers crossed
-
Just didn’t gel last yr but was a highly touted Juco. Wake’s coach is a pretty good developer of talent
-
TTech about to make the SEC go 0-4 in bowl games.
-
And the Missouri women just knocked off #1 South Carolina by 1 in OT. Missouri made the winning shot with 0.1 left in the game.
-
UCF men take down Michigan by 14, A nice resume win for our future conference-mate.
