2017-18 Games of Interest

[Shaqness]

Sounds interesting. When? At a family reunion, church social, K State alumni, or St. John's community fund raising event?

Not the whole family, that would be cool. Someone in my family played ball with his sibling.

Someone in your family once played basketball with someone in his family?

Crazy.

Have watched KSU's last three games. IMHO they are easily in the top 25 and a dangerous
team to play anywhere.

They've had mixed results this year but lately have been pretty good. The abig 12 has been up and down and mostly lacked consistency. An interesting thing to watch is if Young hits a wall as a Freshman or not. He's been really good but against KSU, he was very bad. Without Young, OU is not Top 5-10.

[ShockerPrez]

Just like every year, the Big 12 teases you into thinking there will be a new team rise up to slay the Jayhawk.

But this year will be no different. The top teams will lose 1 or 2 games to a bottom feeder, which KU does not do (and credit to them for that) and that is why they win every year.

Now, not saying OU losing to KSU is bad, but they will have another misstep against a lower 4 team. As will WV and Tech. KU will have 3 maybe 4 losses. The rest will have 1 more.

I'm sure it'll get overplayed, but Kansas beat Kansas State by 1 at home, and Kansas State beat Oklahoma at home.

At this point in the season, it would be perfectly reasonable that K-State will split with both teams on home/away lines.

Though unfortunately I agree that Kansas will probably still win the Big 12. Big 12 teams always have a tendency to be in the top 25-50 but none beyond Kansas ever take it to the next level. In conference, and usually in the tournament.

[ShockerPrez]

KU is the epitome of letting the other guys make the mistakes and keep losing teams losing.

They are a great January, February and early March team.

[WuShock16]

I wouldn't go top 25, but solid tournament team yes.

Barring something like running the table from here on out, K-State better not be a tournament team with that 339 NCSOS. If small conference teams get punished for being forced to play their weak conference schedule, then power conference teams better take some heat for the weak non-conference schedules that they choose to play.

If the big 12 sends 17 teams to the tournament (as I've heard some pundits say), then it seems KSU would most likely be in the dance.

The problem is this, much like I heard a pundit say about SEC football last Fall, a loss in-conference SEC counts as much as an in-conference win in other conferences. The same can be said of Big 12 basketball.

[Shocker_Power]

Man, those are sad attendance numbers at Temple.

[WheatShock]

Both TU's should feel lucky to still be in the game as poorly as they've shot.

[shoxplode]

Two of the three ranked teams that played tonight fall. Gonzaga lost to St Mary’s and Michigan is about to lose by 20 to Nebraska.

[shocks02]

Two final chances for non-conference wins in the AAC tomorrow; #1 Villanova at UConn and Temple is at Penn. Would love to see UConn pull the upset, but seems near impossible. Temple would do well to win at Ivy-League contender Penn.

OU just lost to OSU so they lost to KSUmand OSU this week. They are both bubble type teams.

Is our win at Stillwater considered a good win or is OU's lost at Stillwater considered a good loss?

[AndShock]

Our team might be slumping but at least we don’t have jerseys like K-State.

[ShauXTyme]

We might not have lavender jerseys, but Kstate has looked pretty decent lately.
