Huge slate across the league tonight.

I have a feeling that we hang with Tech enough to cover the spread, and come tantalizingly close to a win, but come up short.  They're just too fucking good right now.  I think Baylor in Morgantown is interesting as hell too.

    Man, I could not be prouder of our team than I am right now, playing like this without Shannon and McCullar. Great stuff.

  • Let me get this straight… This is a Texas message board. Someone says “fuck tech” and the tech fan—who showed his ass on this Texas board after tech beat Texas in Austin and basically told us to

  • Hey we won, fuck Baylor

Fun little evening!

#5 Baylor @ WV (BU -6.5)
#7 KU @ OU (KU -3.5)
KSU @ #23 Texas (TEX -10)
#15 ISU @ #18 Texas Tech (TT -8) 

Forgot about KU in Norman.  Should be a good one as well.

I think we cover, but I have a really difficult time seeing us win in Lubbock tonight.  I think unless Tech basketball reverts, Lubbock has risen into that top tier of toughest places to play with Allen and Hilton.  Bramlage and WVU Coliseum can get up there, but not as consistent, and I think GIA's glory days are as dead as disco.

Baylor up 37-33 at half

Did Tech break Baylor?

Akinjo and Sochan out

Add this to the flowchart: opposing team hits a devastating dagger three >>> play Boomer Sooner.

I’m not convinced there are 2 better defenses in the country. It’s traumatic watching these teams pummel each other.

Jaz in foul trouble could open things up though

This game is hard to watch. But weirdly compelling. I'm conscripted.

Missing open 3s and going 0-fer from the stripe ain’t gonna get you a road win in this league

All 10 teams in the Big XII are in the Top 40 defenses in the country.

indictment of shitty offenses...

or straight up badass defense?

 

It's some of both. Mostly badass defense, but also there is ugly offense played across the board in the league for the most part.

3 pt lead at half by Tech  is largest  by either team.

sloppy at times, but the defense by both squads is off the chain.

We’ve missed a bunch of open shots tonight, but that begs the question of what kind of effect aggressive defense has on a shooter mentally.

Just look at Kevin Obanor, he's a career like 44% 3 point shooter and 80% FT shooter. Joins Big 12, immediately drops to close to 30%. He didn't immediately become a bad shooter, it's just way tougher in this league.

Lotsa hurried shots.  Ain't nobody comfortable.

I like it except when my team has the ball...LMAO.

I swear I hate it more when Tech gets fouled than I do if they just let them play. This team just can't shoot FTs.

This one might be starting to get away from us. We had opportunities early on and couldn’t convert. You only get so many of those against a team like Tech.

That’ll do it. At least I get to bed at a decent hour.

2nd half has been better.

I feel ya though CS-S loves ya.

The announcers are reading Surly. 

Iowa State hits up with TCU on the next game.

 

That'll get em back on the winning track.

 

Disagree with our fans chanting, 'overrated."  Cyclones are legit.

I hate that chant so much, it never makes any sense.

Dumbest chant in all of sports. 

OSU holds at home against TCU

Nice sequence of plays by Tech transfer Tyreek Smith at the end to help them win the game

Not sure holds on is accurate. It took a 7-0 run over the last 90 seconds to pull out a 1 point win.

So the NCAA has a new constitution which provides this little provision. Perfect that it isn't retroactive for OSU, but will ensure that KU never has to face up to anything.

To be honest, the "current players didn't participate" argument was never a good one in my opinion. If a program cheats to get ahead and is caught, the program should be punished regardless of when it was discovered. The problem I have with the OSU punishment is that we as a program didn't cheat and got no competitive advantage out of anything that happened. One assistant coach enriched himself through federal crimes for which he was prosecuted. That is why the punishment is so ridiculously absurd.

I hate playing Huggins teams. The last 1:30 of this game has taken over 15 minutes. Not even exaggerating a bit.

E: 15 minutes, typo

Edited by Brian Fantana

Between Huggins exploiting the rules of the game to extend it well beyond the norm, and the officials constantly disrupting the flow of this game, it has been miserable to watch.

A W is a W is a W but come the fuck on man I get so sick of this shit playing against WVU

Agreed. I absolutely dread playing WVU every time.

Yep.  Felt the same way.

They play with a "They can't call em all" philosophy.  How'd that work out today?

Gotta give Bruce Weber credit, this is exactly how you have to play Kansas. Their interior defense is very weak so you can basically get any opportunity you want from the floor by driving on them every possession.

Its why he's usually an early out in the tourney.  the tournament officials don't give a shit about the whole "Press Virgina" marketing scheme...

KSU v KU is fun. Making me feel better about Tech’s play last week in Manhattan.
