    The OSU home game is very important to ensure we are in the race, but those two road games are huge. Neither TCU nor BYU are scary the way Houston is, but they are both good teams with decent home court advantages. But they both seem like winnable games, if we play at least at a B+ level. Win...

    KU boat racing Baylor last night certainly shakes things up

    IMO, it's all on the return of Emily Ryan. They might be 0-4 in conference without her. Which was always the case for this season

    I went and looked it up and my guess was right, in the last 16 minutes of the game WVU went 1-16 from 3. Prior to that they were 11-27 (41%) Also 62% of their shots were from deep, which is ... bananas.

    She missed 8 shots and rebounded, what, 4 or 5 of those misses? There's one more step of the game "slowing down" for her as she becomes more comfortable with the physicality of the conference, a lot of her misses are still rushed.

    I watched it after the fact last night, I should go to the play by play and count, but I think WVU finished the game something like making only 1 of their last 16 3s. "live by the 3, die by the 3" played out entirely inside one game

    lol, what a prediction. 100% spot on, really, we won by 10 in a "comfortable" victory :p

    Agreed. This has been a trend, but their bench is non-existent so far this year, specifically they have absolutely no size. Christian Braun's big brother is the only pseudo-post player that plays off the bench, and he's not very big. Timberlake, the super Sr transfer from Towson, was...

    I'd guess we'll probably see Blizzard Warnings with this one? I find it interesting that the NWS is understating the snowfall totals in the Watches and early information for both this storm and the last one. For example, the QC NWS issued a watch for 4-8", but the model guidance shows a 70%...

    Did anyone else notice how much TAMU has cratered since we played them? They've lost 5 of 8 and fallen to 35 in kenpom

    I had to go look it up, but that was Caleb Asberry. He was a one-and-done grad transfer last year

    I guess I'd put Kansas in the Houston tier until proven otherwise But the other 9 in the next two tiers will sort out quite a bit over the next month. There will likely be a strong second tier (hopefully that absorbs KU) and probably one or two that don't hold up and miss the tourney. I'm...

    Also Avery Anderson, Cyclone Killer, is now in a TCU uniform. I swear that guy made every big shot against us the last couple years

    Here is SE CR we got a city pickup with a blade that went up and down our street twice about noon today. It didn't get down to the pavement and barely cleared a vehicle width

    At least by the analytics, we'd be a 2-3 pt favorite at TCU right now. Looking at the TCU metrics, that will be a FASCINATING game. They are #1 offensively in taking shots at the rim and they are almost last in # of 3s taken. Defensively we are #1 in preventing shots at the rim and force our...
