Upset Thanksgiving with Bama losing to Iona, and U Conn losing to Michigan State. Baylor also just eaked out a win.
#3 Purdue is beating up on 2-9 Incarnate Word—a team we will play on 12/28. Purdue is real physical and is beating them up down low. IW has but a few decent scorers. They also aren’t covering Purdue’s outside shooters close enough so lots of threes for the Boilers. They do force some turnovers though.
And this afternoon, #1 Baylor travels to top 10 Iowa State. This conference is so good at basketball. I’m going to miss it. Even the KSUs and TCUs are pretty decent teams this year. Looking for a cakewalk game, you won’t find one this year in the Big 12.
Iowa State just evened it up. Tight D by ISU. That arena is on fire. Corn belt basketball at its best.
Tech is leading WV by 4 just before halftime. I like the way Tech drives and dishes. Tech is physical inside and on the boards. WV’s Sherman is hot from the three point line.
Arizona’s Koloko (7’1”) is a beast inside. It’s like trying to drive the lane or post up on Akeem in his Phi Slamma Jamma days. Your big mens’ offensive game against Zona? Forget about it.
today 1/29 TCU defeated #19 LSU ISU defeated Missouri Auburn beat Oklahoma (sucks). Auburn may be the best team in the land. Oklahoma State is kicking Florida’s butz
The announcer in the Okla St v Florida game claimed the Big 12 is in a good position to put 8 (EIGHT) teams in the Big Dance!
Not a Baylor apologist by any stretch, but Bama is definitely getting some home cooking in this game. Still, they're definitely not sharp, sloppy ball handling, losing guys in the paint on defense, getting consistently beat off the dribble and absolutely getting owned on the boards.
"Storm the court?" "Isn't that where your dad gets the judge to drop your DUI charge?" "Oh yeah, I did that before." "Yeah, me too, but then my dad made me keep the Maserati in the garage for a week, and I had to drive the Porsche instead. It was so embarrassing. Worst grounding evah. I was totally ghetto. But now I know how the other half lives..."

Oh boy. The video of Coach K before he left the game for dizziness looked bad. He had that weird palish color and blank eyes old folks with circulation problems sometimes get before things go way South. Hope he recovers well.

16 Tennessee at 23 Arkansas. Worst college game I’ve seen. 55-48 Arky, under a minute left. Seen better jr. high games.
