Baylor forgot how to shoot today. They have just bricked a ton of wide open shots.
Because of course
-
Out of the b12-sec challenge, Texas Tech was the only team to win on the road (out of 8 games so far, assuming Tennessee and Kstate close out their wins). Rankings and records mostly irrelevant. Weird.
OU hit a bunch of threes. Huggie’s guys made 21 of 25 freethrows. Mizzou hit 14/30 threes to bury ISU.
Didn’t watch any of them, but the stats are pretty wild.
-
Watching Texas. trying to understand their arena. It looked like lower level only was open for this game. But I couldn’t quite figure it out. Announcers said they make more seats available for concerts and stuff. Couldn’t figure it out.
-
@wissox still haven’t been but they definitely close parts off for the basketball games to make it a more intimate environment. People say it’s more fun than Erwin (the old arena) was but that’s not saying much.
-
Just like the old sprint center. At and t now? It’s an optical illusion when they close it off. Spelled right?
-
TTech gets their first conference win, didn’t realize they were winless. Over a ranked ISU team to boot. Some fans storm the court which is kind of lame.

Tech came back from 23 down to win that game tonight, I don’t blame those kids for storming the court after that comeback after the rough season Tech has been having.

I believe it is only the lower level that’s open for basketball. Considering they sold the season pretty quickly, I’m kind of surprised they didn’t open the top section up for select games such as Kansas or tonight that are usually pretty big draws for them.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Must be a huge lower section because they are averaging like 13,000 per game which isn’t bad.

They’re averaging 10,384 per game which is right about what UT said capacity would be for basketball games. 10,000 seat lower bowl is a pretty common average for aot of newer NBA style arenas.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Ah, my research was faulty. 10,000 sounds about right for Texas fans who, besides you of course, only care for football.
-
@wissox he only cares about fb? Huh?
-
Mike Miles of TCU has a hyperextended knee, no ACL/MCL issue. Will miss today’s game against WVU & perhaps more.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I didn’t say that! “Besides you” I wrote.
-
@wissox sorry! I misread

Good, he should make a full recovery this year.
-
Dixon sounded optimistic he’d be back sooner than later.

That’s good news for TCU because it looked bad when it happened.
-
Yeah it did. Dixon reported no ACL/MCL issue either so hopefully he gets back to 100% at some point.
-
Wow I took TTU -2 last night, checked the score at half time and went to bed with a loss. Woke up this AM to a nice surprise LOL.
-
Come on WV beat TCU!
-
Alabama responded well to losing to OU. 101-44 helps the old analytics.
-
Final 4 team
-
Where can we get those glorified scrimmage games in the Big-12??
-

helps us but without Miles TCU in some trouble
-
@kuballin10 Alabama unlike their football team chokes every once a decade they have a decent team. 1st/2nd round flameout.
-
Is lampkin healthy? He sat out sat.
-
-
2 Tennessee gos down to Florida by 11
-
@BeddieKU23 what’s wrong? I know he went back in after his ankle sprain against us, something different?
-
North Carolina goes down and the runner ups who returned almost everyone are officially on bubble watch
-
Tennessee goes down to clear way for KU to move into the projected 1 seed
-
High ankle sprain seems to be taking a while to heal.
-
@Kcmatt7 Wow, we’ve got a lot of tough games to win before we earn a 1 seed.

Tells you even more about Mahomes, eh?

@Kcmatt7 What is the reason for this debacle?

Tough as nails that one
-
I think only KU and Texas have overall winning road records this season. This second half of the conference season will be murder. Bill seems to be fired up and keeps saying this squad has little room for error. Yep.

This isn’t meant to rip on Mahomes toughness playing with his high ankle sprain, but it’s two different sports with different stress loads on the ankle. Basketball is a much more difficult sport to play with a high ankle sprain than QB is. A high ankle sprain is damage to the ligaments that connect the ankle to the tibia and fibula and affects jumping and vertical load more than horizontal load like a low ankle sprain. Both can limit mobility both ways, but each one affects mobility more in a different way if that makes sense.
We Mahomes struggle to push off amd get the zip on his passes he normally does because of his injury, but it’s something a QB can play through. With a basketball player, all the jumping and sprinting make it very difficult to play with a high ankle sprain because that’s where a lot of the pressure is directed in the body.
-
Nice little morsel here: Tucky fans are debating if they’ll even make it to the tourney, and are openly contemplating the NIT. One of their posters had this gem : “Could use the NIT to help keep up with Kansas in the wins department. Maybe.” LOL. He’s not even sure if going to the NIT would help them keep up with us…
-
@Kcmatt7 NC, from pre-season #1 to now bubble watch
-
@Jethro SEC fans are whack. In Baton Rouge LSU was playing Bama in football and Bama was quite a bit better that season. Local sportswriter actually wrote a column hoping for a Bama win because then the SEC would have a better chance of winning another national championship. In other words cheering for your archrival because it might hurt the conference.

A few years ago on a New Year’s Day, I was in a college bowl football thread where one of the teams was from the SEC, and there were more fans from other SEC teams than the SEC team that was playing. That was a year that Arkansas was bad- didn’t make a bowl game, yet a slew of Hog fans were in there bragging away. “We’re the SEC- we’re the BEST”. So in the SEC, even if your team stinks, you get to take credit for wins. As long as you have your SEC card.
-
@wissox SEC fans literally care more about the conference than their own team. I can attest to that. I lived in Knoxville from 2000-2010. My wife and I have been spending new year’s eve with three of our Tennessee friends (two women who hate football and a guy who loves football) every year since 2009 (rent a cabin for three nights in the Smokies or on the Plateau). Anyway, guy friend is huge Vol/SEC fan. I love the guy, but he’s hopeless. We start the weekend with a pool picking all the football bowl games. In 13 years, Mr. SEC has NEVER won the pool because he picks all the SEC teams to win. Every damn year. His wife won picking games alphabetically one year. My wife won picking teams by the color red one year. I won at least three years picking against every SEC team except the obvious ones.
This year, he doesn’t pick Tennessee because, I don’t know, he couldn’t handle the emotional trauma of a double loss or something, and that blew his picks this year. SMDH. Warped perspective of that conference.
-
I’ll add, that before that OSU guy muffed the winning kick on new years eve against Georgia this year, he was almost in tears thinking there wouldn’t be an SEC team in the championship game.
-
@DanR sounds like a lovely evening!
-
@DanR what does he think about the big 12 teams coming?
-
@DanR When I lived in Baton Rouge the fans were always SEC this and that. I would ask them how is the SEC doing in wrestling this year? Soccer? Lacrosse? Hockey? Crickets!
