Screamed it. What an ass. Ass gunna ass.

[Kung Wu]

He's probably lucky that his yell of "Ballgame" as his 3rd free throw went up, then bounce off, didn't cost the team the game.

He tends to be a chucker but this time they were almost all going in. Hopefully he has matured somewhat over time...been away from helicopter Dad for what, 4 years?

No. Just a few weeks ago, Huggins gave him an ultimatum to straighten up his act or he was gone.

Well he was 5 of 34 or something like that over the prior 6 games. So now he would be 12 of 44 for 27% from three over the past 7. Will be interesting to watch.

He'll never be away from helicopter dad. Mileage ain't got nuthin to do with it in this day and age.

[N Crestway]

TP went off his last game. 7-10 from 3 and 31 total points.

Big 12 won 7 out of 10. Would have been 8 out of 10 if TCU hadn't been down two key players.

[Aargh]

Every time you respond, I don’t have to imagine.

Nice one, Kel. Love it!

The B12 had some ranked teams get upset today, but they also upset some ranked teams.

West Virginia, the 9th place team in the B12 took down Auburn

WVU - 80
(15) Auburn - 77

Not particularly close? Delusional. You must imagine you're chatting with uneducated basketball followers.

Did Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and West Virginia not play today?

FWIW these games don’t change much of anything. The Big 12 is still the best conference in college basketball and it’s not particularly close (see KenPom and Sagarin conference rankings). This was the case yesterday and is still the case, and unless there are myriad objective metrics that say otherwise, the Big 12 is the toughest conference in the country.

I went and looked a little closer at the B12/SEC thing and discovered what appears to be the main factor. The home teams were the winners in almost every game. Home/Visitor is clearly more important than conference affiliation.

Mississippi State - 81
(11) TCU - 74
