How much is Stanford going to beat us by today Bshark?
That’s pretty funny.
-
That question was already answered.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I agree. I don’t want KSU to get to big for their britches. Of course, we didn’t have to play Marquette on the road.
-
Michigan destroying Purdue and Nova down to a winless team in the second. I was kinda hoping for the B12s sake KSU would go unbeaten in their weak non conference schedule.
-
Hmmm. Trying to figure out how to stream the Stanford game from Copenhagen…
-
Silo Tech … EXPOSED.

First time they played a real team.
-
@KUSTEVE Deandre Hunter is athletic and a future pro re: UVA. He was injured for the tourney last year otherwise he might have been a lottery pick.
-
Oklahoma beating Notre Dame 43-36 at halftime. Sooners are playing without Jamuni McNease tonight.
-
Final: Oklahoma 85 - Notre Dame 80
-
West Virginia getting their ass kicked right now by Florida 30-18 - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Oklahoma look considerably better than Baylor and Ok State to me, tho they was picked last in the league, good win for the B12
-
Apparently Lon Kruger is a pretty good coach.
-
WVU at home too.
@KirkIsMyHinrich WEIRD
-
West Virginia went on a 9-0 run. Only down 30-27 now at halftime.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich for some reason, I don’t think much of Lon. I really lost a ton of respect for him how he coached up his team last year. Before that, I always thought he was so uninspiring. Not a coach that would be fun to play for. I’m weird.
-
Alabama lost to Georgia State. AVERY JOHNSON LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

I think he’s a good coach. But I thought his intentionally fouling Doke was pretty chickenshit.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Lon does have some weirdo vibes.
-
@BShark speaking of weird vibes, who r u now?
-
You wouldn’t know even if I told you. Just don’t worry about it.
-
Northwestern is up 52-51 on Michigan with 6 minutes left.
-
@BShark Dribble Drive Offense ! (I just remember Avery Johnson saying that a million times as Dallas’s coach and as a commentator.)
-
@approxinfinity Ha. He is a total clown. I would have a meltdown if he coached a team I like.
-
-
WVU is reaaaaaaaaaaally bad.
-
@BShark konate back?
-
-
Looking at the top 25 scores tonight, Furman!?!?!? WTF, that’s not someone I expected to see ranked ever. When was the last time a SoCon team was ranked? It’s gotta be either Davidson when Steph Curry was there or College of Charleston back in the beginning of the century, right?
-
Yupp it’s their first time being ranked. When you beat Loyola Chicago & Villanova you get noticed. Their leading scorer had 15 3’s in one game. Exciting to see a small school getting some pub
-
Wondering how Duke keeps challenging themselves with powerhouse mid-major schools like the Stetson Hatters (1-8) and the Hartford Hawks (3-6) and stays ahead of KU in the NET rankings when they have 1 loss and KU has 0 losses.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich guess we are not the only one’s that can’t throw it in the Ocean - -Duke 3 pt shooting for 3/4 of this game any ways - - far from good. - -At one point I know they were 4-17 - -ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich was just discussing this earlier today in reference to UVA. Unlike Duke, Bennett and co. Are scheduling decent midmajors like Morgan State, at least ones that have recently been successful. Very Selfian.

Actually I just looked at Duke’s non con and its much better than years past. High ceiling, low floor. 4 teams that are creampuffs, but 4 in top 13. http://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/team/schedule/_/id/150
-
Texas just lost at home to VCU and Okie St lost at Tulsa. Two more bad losses for the conference.
-
@Woodrow his seat getting hotter? I heard them talking about his claim to fame win at the start of tonight’s game. How long can he ride that?

KU should slice through the league again. KSU and ISU maybe the only truly tough opponents.

Good point.
Another convenient scheduling tool I noticed. After their game against Texas Tech on the 20th, they have 16 days off until ACC conference play opens…
-
@BeddieKU23 It is important for the visuals in televised games. The more affluent student body found in certain schools needs the longer break for trips to Europe and Aspen and St. Barts.
-
@BShark I’d throw in Tech. I really like what Beard is doing there , but I’d be surprised if KU doesn’t win the league by 3 games or so.
Big game tonight for the Clones. They are at Iowa.
-
TCU has Fisher & Noi back. They got a road win at SMU last night and I’d be surprised if they don’t look like a Top 25 team going into conference play. Iowa St, Tech, TCU will be the 3 that can challenge KU this year. OU looks improved as well and probably is better then Texas at this point.
-
Tech will definitely be in the conversation, Beard has done a great job getting the team ready considering the personnel losses after last season. TCU and Oklahoma are also surprisingly good so far. On the other hand, West Virginia looks pretty bad and Texas is also under performing which seem to be normal for Smart; the loss to VCU must have really stung.
The Big 12 will once again be a strong if not the strongest conference in college basketball, MSM ACC bias notwithstanding. The top 6 teams in the conference are a combined 41-4; the top 6 team in the ACC are 45-6 and the top 6 in the Big 10 are 46-7. The latest Bracketology has 7 conference teams in the Tournament withe TCU in the last 4 out which makes it a potential 8 teams. TCU will likely replace WVU and 7 teams is realistic with Baylor WVU and OSU likely out.

The big 12 suuuucks this yr.

Not so fast as Lee Corso says. I forgot K-St as well. I think with KU’s struggles/doke’s injury this team will be in a dogfight for the Big-12 Championship. I don’t think we have shown yet that we are capable of running away with anything. We’ll see if that changes in a month and the Nova/ASU games will tell us more about this teams identity and where its going moving forward

KSU faces Tulsa Saturday afternoon. In December 2017, KSU lost to Tulsa 61 - 54. Tulsa may give the kitties a game.
-
I watched the second half of the Gonzaga- Washington game and Gonzaga barely got away, at home, with a Hachimura basket at the buzzer after being up by 11 with 5 minutes to go. Gonzaga’s interior defense was not good and Washington penetrated and scored consistently. Gonzaga played only 7 players and the bench played a total of 28 minutes and contribute 9 points and I am sure they are missing Crandallr; frankly, I am not sure how they beat Duke.
-
Gonzaga played to their ceiling against Duke. I watched the game last night and it seemed they got a little tight late. Of course they are shorthanded right now and Washington made plays to get back in it.
-
Gonzaga looked tired and lazy last night and Washington is a decent team. I don’t think Duke is quite as good as everyone thinks either; they were only up 33-24 at halftime against Hartford (3-7) at Cameron. Gonzaga has a depth problem with Geno Crandall and Killian Tillie out right now. When they’re healthy I think they’re as good as anyone. I don’t think Gonzaga’s game last night was any worse than KU’s game against Stanford. Washington is better than Stanford.
-
Really looking forward to the neutral-site game between Tennessee and Gonzaga on Sunday. It will give us a chance to see how good KU’s win over the Vols really was. And the Williams, Schofield/Hachimura, Clarke matchups should be a lot of fun.
-
The only difference is that the MSM is calling Gonzaga a finish product while KU is a work in progress and not even close to its ceiling except for a few spurts here and there.
