@Texas-Hawk-10 There’s so many oddities in it. Bama it says is 0-5 against quad 1 teams but is ranked 6th in their rankings apparently because they scheduled tough teams I guess.
-
ISU and Houston tied. It’s now a 36 second game.
-
ISU freshman coming up big. Wow. Welcome to the B12 Houston.
-
ISU wins the last 36 seconds and the game! Welcome to the Big12, Cougs.
-
I think Houston is gonna get woke up a bit this season. Sorry playing on the road at Rice, Wichita state and Tulane ain’t Jack compared to the road in this conference.
-
Lot of good B12 games on espn+ tonight what a joke by the network
-
Neb up on Purd by 12 with 1:08 left.
-
Neb won by 16. Shot 50 % from the field, 61 % from 3. Had more steals and blocks than Purd.
-
61% from 3 is insane
-
@kjayhawks How about a Top 1o battle between KU and Ou this weekend on ESPN+?
-
3 of the 4 newcomers to the Big12 lost tonight. The other one plays KU tomorrow.
️
-
@Gorilla72 The newcomers combined to win 8 football games in the league all season, led by UCF’s 3-6 record. So far those teams in the league are 2-5. Early of course, but not a great start.
-
Warning Will Smith, Warning. It’s upset time in college hoops. I sure hope KU is paying attention and takes care of business against UCF. Nebraska and IState were the big upset winners yesterday. Let’s hope the Knights don’t get to crow on Thursday. Is 6.5 pts the correct line against the Knights? They lost big to KSt in Manhattan. Maybe they play better at home. I sure hope ESPN+ works better tonight.
-
@stoptheflop Is someone about to get bitch slapped?
-
@stoptheflop FYI, KU plays UCF tonight, not Thursday

Sure have to agree with ya buddy. Ya know was watching various podcasts this Morning and even though can’t stand K/State I like FitzGerald K/State Alum beat writer in his podcasts , brings out some really good points. Kinda funny/witty
Anyways kind of on the line like you mentioned , he said WELCOME to the Big 12 Houston , and talking about the Hilton magic at Hilton. He says he swears to GOD some Iowa St fan has some vodoo lol , and talking about how a lot of teams lose at Hilton. - Then he talks and tells Houston this isn’t the AAC , and says Houston gonna take some losses this yr and says sure Houston MAY win the big 12 but they gonna take maybe 3-4 losses. - -Saying in the AAc Houston played just well enough not to lose- - -THIS is not the AAC, points well said Fitz. - -WELCOME to the Big 12 Houston

6th year senior at Indiana Xavier Johnson gets ejected for grabbing the privates of the Rutgers guy who set a screen on him. Indiana is a mess and a half and I wish it weren’t so. College basketball needs IU to become competent in basketball I think. Not positive that he told refs that he was working on his ball handling skills.

Wonder how the Rutgers player graded him out on that task lol

Woodson doesn’t appear to be the answer despite bringing some top level talent there.
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah I think fans are getting pissed.
-
TCU beats Oklahoma.

Kentucky loses on the road to Texas A&M after the officials tired so hard to win it for them. Called an offensive foul on A&M for kicking out feet on a made 3 that they nullified. Then gave UK a foul shooting a 28 foot fade away 3 that was garbage. Cracks me up why these calls aren’t front page news like any questionable call that goes our way.
-
This league is just an absolute brutal blood bath
-
Meltdown for the mildcats. You really love to see it
-
@FarmerJayhawk I enjoyed it lol
-
Bye bye bye Houston to TCU on layup
-
B12 will be a gauntlet. You could argue this year, more than any other year - -while OU and Texas are still here – the B12 winner will be battle tested.
-
I think TCU is a solid club, WVU beats the shorthorns lol

TCU is a good team and should be in the NCAA Tournament this season. The Big 12 had 10 teams in the top 50 on the NET rankings entering today. Texas losing to West Virginia is worse than our loss to UCF as WVU is barely inside the top 200 of the NET rankings.
-
The Big 12 looks like it’s probably going to be a 9 bid league this year. Texas will have a shot to make it 10, but they have work to do after that loss to WVU today.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 so so so early! Lol. But i dig it.

The Big 12 has 9 in the top 37 now after yesterday which is historically safe for getting an at large bid. Texas dropped to 59 from 44 which both are historically outside at large territory. We’re getting to the point now though where we’re going to be seeing less dramatic movement after wins and losses unless especially unless it’s an especially bad loss like UT’s yesterday. Based on that, it appears like the B12 is in line to get 9 teams into the NCAA Tournament this year.

Illinois lost. this past weeks top 11, Purdue, lost, Houston Lost, Zona lost, UConn survived, Rocky Top, loss, Mildcats, loss, 2022 runnerup, won, OU, two time loser, Marquette, two time loser. Of course our favorite team did too. That’s 9 of 11 teams losing that were highly ranked.

Well I guess you can try to look at this positively, it was just a terrible week for top ranked teams, maybe not quite as bad – it was bad , but losses everywhere
-
I do not consider losing on road to a decent conference foe as an upset
-
@AsadZ I think thats an upset. We had no business losing to that team.
-
Chaotic week for the Top 10ish. Gonna be like that every week perhaps too.
We should not have lost to UCF. It was also considered a Quad 1 loss for the NET. They do have a Top 20 defense with a well-respected coach, we didn’t give them proper respect either. This was their conference home opener (first game in Big-12) and their home court environment is legit (very unexpected). I watched them battle BYU to the end Saturday with a chance to win and their fans helped that comeback as well. I was expecting to see a half dead place after winning their super bowl but their fan support is much better then I thought. They might be most athletic team in the league.

very athletic

@wissox Is UCF a decent team, not yet, so I concur that KU loss was an upset.
-
@AsadZ said in Other bball games:

UCF isn’t a decent conference foe. They’re a bottom 3 Big 12 with OSU and WVU and this isn’t a Big 12 where every road game is a Quad 1 match up. WVU isn’t far off from being a Quad 4 game and KU’s game in Stillwater tomorrow is barely a Quad 2 game, almost a Quad 3 game.
-
We have 8 conference members in the top 25. Houston and Iowa State are looking like a real problem. If someone can go through this with just three losses it would be amazing. If we lose one you can reasonably be assured of other top teams getting beat at at least the same rate. If we can avoid the dreaded under 30 point 1st halves we will win our share of low or high scoring games. The Furph will probably astonish us a few times but as rookies go it will be inconsistent.
-
At the moment the UCF game is a quad 1 loss
-
@AsadZ Your post made it look like you thought it wasn’t an upset. Sometimes I have trouble figuring out what someone is responding to on here!
-
Houston is ranked 5th in the country and is in 7th place in our conference.

Big-12 meat grinder

I haven’t watched anyone but KU play more than 10 minutes this year. Based off of resume I’d say UNC is a bit over-rated. How does the eye test look? Is UConn fully healthy now? KU’s resume is under valued. They’ve played (and beaten) many of the top teams with more on the schedule. I’d say that KU has as good a shot as anyone of cutting down the nets, but is far from dominant. - Would really like to wind back time and steal a win against Marquette to see how KU looked against Purdue!
-
Saw on the scores scrolling by that the KU women got their asses handed to them tonight losing by 35 to Texas. I know they upset Baylor over the weekend, but this season has been a disaster for KU. This looking like another season in which KU won’t make a post season tournament which would be the 7th time in his 9 seasons that KU has failed to make any postseason tournament. He’s made 1 NCAA Tournament and 1 WNIT in his first 8 years. Why is that acceptable?
KU women have made 3 NCAA Tournaments in the past 20 years. Our football program has more bowl appearances in that time. There’s no reason why this program shouldn’t make it to the NCAA Tournament most seasons with the resources they have, but instead KU has been one of the least successful major conference programs of the past 25 years.

U think losing Nooner has hurt?
