2017-18 Games of Interest

[Shock Top]

KU would be dead and buried in the Big 12, had they lost these last two.

KSU and WVU fail to execute down the stretch and KU’s Drive for 14 stays alive.

[swiltar71]

A WVU win would've been nice, but we have 2 big games this week. Just win baby!

[jdmee]

The Big 12 will play KU into a 1 seed and KU will take that and lose in the sweet 16.

[shoxlax]

Odd how a swarming full court press in the first half turns into “sag off, leave the three point shooter wide open in the corner” defense in the second half.

[pinstripers]

wish both teams coulda lost

[AndShock]

I think Texas Tech and OU are the elite teams of the Big XII. West Virginia and KU are a step behind. We’ll see who actually manages to win the conference. My personal eye test tells me KU is not even top 20 good but I’m not gonna argue with the results and advanced analytics. Must be my personal bias getting in the way.

[ShockingButTrue]

how long will we go tonight before our resident KU fan makes an appearance?

We'll see what Tech and OU do against KU. The rest are frauds.

I would like our chances against either of these overrated teams in the tourney.

I agree. I think OU is taking the Big 12 this season! Trae Young will dethrone the Jayhawks!

[ShockerFever]

KU is 5-1 in the Big XII right now. One blowout double-digit loss and all 5 wins by 6 points or less.

Lucky team or luckiest team?

You don't win 13 straight titles without being lucky. Every year somehow the Jayhawks get lucky during conference play. Its like clockwork.

[60Shock]

As much as I hate to admit it, you also don't win 13 straight titles without being good.

[Aargh]

I replayed the 4th foul on Juvan Carter about 5 times. It seems he got that foul for being in the same arena as a KU player going in for a layup. I did not see anything close to contact from any of the camera angles. That one call turned the game around. That's how KU gets "lucky".

If you watch many close calls 5 times you’ll find mistakes. The game didn’t turn because refs made a call favoring KU that Shocker fans don’t agree with. That’s any close call. The turning point was halftime when WVU decided to stop playing any defense and started giving wide open shots to a team that is truly one dimensional.

[Rlh04d]

WVU is the most inept offensive team I've ever seen. What an embarrassment.

They're a joy to watch on defense -- especially Konata in this one -- and misery on offense.

Not sure how WVU gave this one away. Or why their defense just quit in the second half.

WVU's going to give someone a hell of a hard fought win the first weekend. But I'd take Konata under Marshall in a second.
