Let's Go State!

 

[Cyclone Timmy]

Oklahoma State not looking very tough so far. I predict Big 12 wins for Houston, Iowa State, Kansas, TCU, Oklahoma, Baylor, and Marquette (Shaka revenge game!)

 

[NATEizKING]

B12 should go 4-0 tomorrow so probably 3-1. Last 3 feels like 3-2.

Houston gets the Big 12 on the board.

 

[theshadow]

...and West Virginia gives it right back.

 

[theshadow]

Iowa State and Kansas do their part to level the challenge at 3-3.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Looks like a 6-5 finish, advantage Big 12. Don't think we'll get Villanova or Marquette

It does have a close-to-50/50 feel.

OU-Providence is intriguing. Maybe home-court advantage. Similar w/ Nova-KSU.

Baylor should get SH.

UT-Marquette is a biggie.

I've been hearing talk that the Big East is the top basketball conference now. (Keep in mind I live in Omaha). They do have 3 or 4 really good teams. As a conference their overall winning percentage is 70% so far. Big 12 at 82%. We have 6 unbeaten teams, they have 0. So, I'm just not seeing it yet. Last year was good for them. Can they sustain it like the Big 12 has? We'll see.

I think the top of the Big East is a little stronger but the Big12 is way better top to bottom

TCU banks in a 3 at the horn to beat Georgetown, 84-83.

TCU player was OB just before releasing the shot, but it's not reviewable because no call was made on the floor. Frogs win.

K State beat N Alabama by 1 in overtime. Have to think Villanova will get 'em on Tuesday. Looks like this ends up 6-5 or if "good" Texas shows up, 7-4.

Texas Christians beat DC Christians. It's a wash.

Three games on tap tonight; two in the 6:00 window.

 

[ABECyguy]

Oklahoma up almost 20 under 4 minutes left. K-state in a tight one with Villanova

 

[Cyclonepride]

7-3 Big 12 if Baylor hangs on

Marquette thumps Texas by 21.

Big 12 wins the battle, 7-4.

 

[fcclone]

Marquette thumps Texas by 21.

Big 12 wins the battle, 7-4.

Big 12 ends on a 6-1 run with Texas having the last loss.

Yeah, I am okay with that.
