yep, pretty good game.
OK State & Tech in a good one to start it off (even if few of their fans decided to trip it).
Down to the wire. Nice to get to play UT again.
Baylor shouldn't have too much of a problem with Colorado.
OMG - you guys are gonna win the tournament and get an automatic bid!
nice call so far..![]()
It's ok, Oklahoma State is the team to beat.
As a UT fan, its nice to play Okie Lite again.
At least I will know they will advance.![]()
Oh man, it should go to 6. Good thing I put that Ag game on for an extra 30 minutes tonight, since the start time will probably be delayed thanks to this.
Has Baylor played themselves squarely onto the bubble? The only reason they wouldn't be is their RPI, but it's pretty iffy how much recent committees really care about that stupid number.
Nice to know this needed a new thread despite me starting one a few days ago.
Baylor, welcome to the NIT.
We needed some extra Big 12 threads to offset the onslaught of UTSA ones.
Whatever worries Baylor would have had have likely been offset by much less deserving bubble teams also losing today. Same goes for A&M. I thought they might need two wins in this tourney, but I think they're in after today.
Good win by UNL, hopefully they can give the Jayhawks a test.
OSU can give Tejas some problems if they get hot from 3.
Colorado, good to see you, you're likely done after tomorrow.
Aggies still didn't play well and hopefully the flu bug doesnt take out the rest of the team tonight. Tomorrow should be a good game assuming the aggies are at full strength.
I remember when the flu decimated OSU when we lost to Florida in the Elite Eight in 2000 which was DMase and Gottlieb's senior year.
OSU has played UT very well this year; lost by 2 on a last second shot at home and led late before losing by 5 @ Austin last Sunday. Eaton had an awful game yesterday but the rest of the team showed, which is encouraging. I would not be shocked to win but at the same time I would not be shocked to get beat by 25; just the sort of year we have had.
A freaky point about OSU's play:
Freshmen combined for 37 points and 15 rebounds, to include the game winning free throw, in addition to the game saving block and subsequent steal on the last 2 plays of the game.
Anyone remember that CU beat uo this year? I'm betting uo does.
The bugeaters got completely wiped off the face of the earth in their 2 meetings with KU this year - simply too many matchup probs. I see the same today.
I don't know what to think about the KSU/atm game. atm can't guard Beasley (who can?) but his supporting cast has been far from stellar of late. I don't see atm beating KSU but I didn't think atm could win at BU either and they did, of course now we know that wasn't ALL that big of deal.
I say in all cases the higher seed wins amidst little fanfare.

The aggies would be okay giving up Beasley's normal production, they cannot allow Walker to go off again. Considering how Jordan looked last night and that Jones was pretty much unavailable for the end of the game, I don't think the team is going to be healthy enough to win.
If ou allows that puss ass Roby to drop 32 on them, they don't deserve to be in the Big 12.![]()
Well, I have had the flu this past couple weeks. Whereas you are weak and a little queasy for 5-10 days, the really rolling nasty uncomfortable stage is only around 24-36 hours. I would expect Jordan, albeit a little weak, to be back but if Jones was just getting symptons that might not be good.
If I could list the number of times Mike said "I don't see atm beating [insert team here]," I'd have a 4-page thread.
...you are such an infant.
It depends if it's food poisoning or the flu (most people don't realize that these two ailments are very often misdiagnosed for each other).
I had this flu back in February, and if I had tried to play basketball with it, they could have forgotten the gurney and gone straight for the casket.
If it's food poisoning, it's quite possible that the guys could actually be 100% by tonight's game.
Pokes end half on a 10-2 run to take 33-32 lead into lockerroom.
Only 2 UT starters have scored field goals. Augustine has gotten everything he has wanted so far.
t.u. starts half on 12-0 run...fyi
ok st is not a very good team...NIT good I guess, maybe, but NCAA good...no way.
Good job Texas..
