There really is not a whole to preview at this point in the season. Everyone pretty much knows the drill now as we have exhausted the probabilities of how we can get a first round bye in the tourney. That doesn't really matter at this point. Its KU and its Senior Day.
As far as the game today goes, its pretty much as previewed last game. If KU's big guys play well or Sherron plays well,
That was ugly. I was really at a loss for words watching that game. Not sure I can ever remember watching a basketball game with that much talent on the floor in which it looked liked for the first 20 minutes that no body knew how to make a basket. KU and Kentucky played a game a couple years ago that I thought was the worst big time basketball game I had ever watched, but
If you would have told me that back in January when they first played that these two teams would be meeting the last weekend in Feb for the #2 seed, I would have been pretty surprised. Not that I didn't think that both teams were good teams, but I assumed Texas would be a solid #2 and our biggest fight would be just to get the first round bye. We are still fighting for that
Euclid pretty much outlined what has to be done the next few weeks, and this is clearly a monster game for Conference seeding and NCAA Tourney bids. While I don’t want to jinx it, a win gets us to at least 9-7 in the conference which I think is on the right side of the bubble, but 8-8 is clearly on the bubble. Chet should have more on that soon. So what can we expect
Second Half
19:00 English air ball, but nice rebound by Safford. 4th foul on Lomers 38-35. If Bowers is not on the floor, Safford is our most active player. Why is Keith Ramsey even playing?
17:00 First bucket by Udoh, but Kimmie answers from downtown. 40-38. I like the way this half has started. We are much more aggressive on both ends of the floor. Again, why is Ramsey playing? ON cue, here come Bowers.
15:37 44-42 Baylor.
Live from Waco, here we go. Brad Sham and Miles Simon onthe call. Good, new blood plus I love Miles Simon after they beat KU in the tourney and Brad Sham is the Dallas Cowboys announcer which I love as well.
20:00 Bowers and Denmon not starting. Dammit. Against a team like Baylor, I think you need your best offenive team to start.
17:37 Wow Baylor is tall. I don't see many points being scored inside the
Is it wrong for me to think that the Missouri Tigers are now the Missouri Chuckers? Everyone has seen the Seinfeld episode when Kramer calls George “a Chucker” because he just chucks it from everywhere. It's one of the best episodes because it is also the Keith Hernandez episode. Every time I watch the Tigers now I wonder if this team is just a bunch of chuckers who play great defense, because they are not
That’s a bad loss, for a number of reasons. In a conference that appears to be loaded with eight quality teams, you can’t lose a home game to a team you are fighting for a first round bye in the Big 12 tourney and more importantly an NCAA bid. Just a killer. From tied for second, to fifth just like that. Spots 2-8 are going to change over the next four weeks,
I hate Travis Ford. I mean really hate him. I know we were going on probation. I know Rick Pitino and his home state school came a calling. I get all that blah, blah, blah. Doesn’t make it any better.
See Travis Ford was my favorite Tiger in 1989. He was on the Big Eight Conference All Freshman team. He hit a monster game winner up in Ames. He was going to be the point guard
Okay, I am not going to dwell on this game too much other than I hate losing to them more than just about anything. We just simply do match up with them very well in any way shape or form. Aldrich kills us, and when you add in the Morris twins, we have no answers. When Sherron Collins goes 2-11 with 6 points and we lose by 20, well that just shows that they are
Okay we know they are good. In the dump that is Allen Fieldhouse they are really good.
The Tigers were due for a game like this, but it sure didn’t look like that at the start. A 10-0 lead turned into a painful 66-61 loss in a matter of 35 minutes. For the first five, which I did not get to see thanks to Xavier and Dayton, I guess the Tigers pretty much dominated as OU had seven turnovers during that stretch. After that, other than Bowers, the rest of the team
So much for an easy conference opener. Here comes Frank Martin and his #10 Wildcats (13-1), and if you think they are overrated, you are smoking crack. This team is big, physcial, and can defend well in the half court.
Very rarely is there a must win game in the month of December. Unfortunately for the good guys this is one of them. When you best non con win is over Oregon who has lost to Montana, Portland, and Saint Mary’s, NCAA committees don’t really look at you too closely, especially when you lose to Oral Roberts (absolute killer loss).
When the teams you are battling with to get one of the 6-7 spots in the
