Big 12 Tournament of tears
-
Texas storms back from 12 down to beat TT. Crazy to think that Texas was ranked in the top 25 to start the year. Does TT get an NIT bid?
-
No one has mentioned it that I see but we will be playing TCU tomorrow. They handled OU rather easily, which surprised me with how well OU had been playing.

CBS bracket showing its east coast bias with an eastern time zone listing of a central time zone event.
One thing I noticed on my trips to Hawaii and Chicago this winter was that the times listed for games on the ESPN.com Scoreboard would change to my local time depending on where I was regardless of where the games were played. But only if my phone Time settings were set to the local Time Zone. If I was on Automatic, the scoreboard showed ET for all games. I doubt that the CBS schedule is done the same. (Edit: It is, apparently. See next post.)
I don’t think it is East Coast bias except insofar as it is an outgrowth of the original style of network schedules where they always said on national broadcasts, for example, “9 Eastern time, 8 Central.” With the web, not knowing where people are when they read it, for consistency, I notice most programming listings on national sites use Eastern and then everybody can adjust depending on where they are. Mountain and Pacific use different delays than Central. (ESPN’s must use a system that plugs in the time zone based on feedback from my phone.)
For sports listings involving live broadcasts rather than the delays in TV programs, I think they should base it on the venue site, but the people doing these things seem to enjoy proving that “a foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.” Unfortunately, when they don’t add the time zone designation, it can look dumb and be confusing, as with that CBS one.
-
Update to my other post: I am in the Eastern time zone as you know. CBS scoreboard showed all games as Eastern but with no designation of what zone.
I reset my phone’s time zone to Central rather than Eastern, and when I opened up the scoreboard on CBS again, the times first showed Eastern, and then every game started switching to an hour earlier. So it is based on phone setting for them, too.
Might want to check your setting before the big tourney begins. Seems odd they can’t just add the time zone itself.

Say hello to all our Clone friends. I hope they win so we can get another shot at them.

We’ll have to listen to Fran do a 15 minute piece on why Josh Jackson should have been suspended
Great!
-
Competitive game at half. ISU up 3… OSU doesn’t play defense, wouldn’t mind playing them again
-
Fun game so far.
-
KU -8 vs TCU with no Josh.
-
I want Clone heads served on a platter.
I want to start the game by giving them all gifts; special-imported Sicilian neckties!
-
PREACH BROTHER
-
How is the Bears releasing Cutler breaking news? lol ESPN
-
@BShark they’ll be shocked when Romo finds a new home too
-
-
@BShark that’s a good marriage id rather not see happen.
Does it look like the KU game will start on time?
-
I would bet on 2pm central
-
ISU might be about to finish off OSU
-
@BShark thanks. Now I need to hear the rock chalk chant and/or the bezo Kansas song to get the dang Moana music outta my head! Kids have watched it the last two nights and the tunes are catchy.
-
With only 4 scholarship guards will Self play more 2 post sets or will Tyler get some minutes? STAY TUNED.
-
Long delay in the ISU OSU game due to some BS.
-
ISU doing their usual 3pt bs that won’t hold up every game.
-
This JUCO kid looks great for them right now though.
-
Romo now expected to be traded not released.
-
@BShark how many to’s mon’ tie have?
-
Yeesh Nova popped for 108 in their conf tourney today.
-
Illinois just died a pauper’s death against UM. Can Groce survive?
-
@BShark conserving energy against a lesser opponent I’m sure.
-
ISU will win, just want the rest of the game to go quickly now.
-
ISU looks really damn good…
-
Fran won’t do 2
?
-
I wish we had the commentators from the Duke/UL game.
-
Fran will have to change clothes!
-
Fran doing his usual build up of Morris indirectly taking a dig at Mason…what a DB.
-
ISU shot well from 3…hopefully that means tomorrow will not be as good. (And hopefully that is against us)
-
-
Kennard (Dookie) sure loves playing with his hair.
-
Arizona already on the 2018 recruiting board with a 5 star.
-
@BShark who did they get?
-
Yes, he did and he is a great PG; however, Fran saying that if Morris played for an East Coast team (dig at KU) he would be the top PG in the country, or words to that effect (dig at Mason).
-
Groce is probably toast…
-
No one KU was in on at least. Emmanuel Akot #18 overall player. 6’7’’ SF.

I would think he meant Duke, UNC, bigger school in general. It is honestly ridiculous that Morris isn’t a Cousey finalist.
@JayHawkFanToo said:

I would think so too.
-
Looks like 2pm for the KU TCU tip. Maybe a minute or two after.
