Polls were updated today. Baylor still in top 10 and WVU still in top 25. No one else in the Big 12 is even currently close to being ranked. :( Texas isn't even receiving votes even after beating the Volunteers in Knoxville.

Games of interest and other misc ramblings:

Texas plays #1 Stanford* at Norman Sunday ESPN2 1200

Oklahoma plays #2 Connecticut* at Norman Sunday CBS Sports Net 3:00

Drake plays at Oklahoma tonight at 7:00. Fox Go something for TV, not something I can get. Would like to watch.

Drake drew 7,000 for what amounted to a scrimmage with Waldorf last week. Kudos on the attendance. I'll not diss them too much for that WTF scheduling because of the P5's they are playing.

Random observation: The Pac-12 is loaded.


* Boxster's more than a little envious of these premium matchups. I'd motor down I-35 any day for one of those at Hilton.

Sherri's rolling Drake. Up by 20 at the half.


Edit: Sooners win 93-84. Drake had an 11 - 0 run in last 1:50 to close the 93 - 73 gap but this looks like it was all Sooners.

Watching a battle of ranked teams, Michigan at Maryland versus the Fighting Frese's. Very physical man to man by both teams. Our most vocal fans would be whining up a storm about thuggery and hacking. :rolleyes:

Not much else happening.
KSU beat some no name Texas school. Big whoop.
Nebraska beat Iowa in Lincoln. Minor whoop.

Edit. The Frese's win. Brenda's freshman PG looks like a miniature Courtney Paris.

New poll this week.

#6 Baylor
#19 WVU
#25 Texas.

RV: Kansas (4), Texas Tech (1)

Was thinking Texas should be back after falling to not even receiving votes. Nice bounce-back with wins over Tennessee and Stanford.

Gophers back at #24. Tempted to go watch them this afternoon but (as much fun as games can be at The Barn) wondering if my motivation is simply an excuse to skip working out at LifeTime. ;) Will ponder while shoveling the snow from yesterday

Went down and caught the Drake Uni game. Final was 104-87 Drake the game was not as close as the score indicated. Drake ended the 2nd qtr with an 11 pt run in the final minute. Uni got it down to a little bit then the wheels fell off. Bad shooting and unforced turnovers along with stout Drake D sealed their fate.

Jerk move by Tonya at the end Jennie called of the dogs and took a turnover with 14 sec left, Uni scored off of it when it didn't matter. By the way road conditions north of Ames drop off dramatically be careful if your going North tonight.

We get the Longhorn Network. Everyone bring a dish to share for that game...

Dang - Baylor just administered a beatdown to #1 UConn. I haven't seen them yet but I imagine a lot of size and athleticism again.

Barring injuries Baylor is very close to being just as good as last year. Several players on the bench that would be starting most anywhere else. The elite 8 this year should be composed of the best 8 teams I've ever witnessed in WBB.
