16-17 Games of Interest

[ShockerPrez]

Cant wait to hear TCUs name back on the bubble after this game, win or lose.

[Eric]

Just keep it up TCU. Curb stomp these d'bags.

[ShockerFever]

TCU is looking good. Dixon has done a fine job in his first season at his alma mater

May be good enough to knock Illinois State into another NIT.

Man, KU must be the thinnest team in America. I didn't realize the absence of Jackson meant TCU was 11 points better than the flagship. Soft team that'll likely get bounced out of the first weekend. Again.

If KU loses today, future KU players will have free reign the last week of the regular season.

What are the consequences to KU losing this? They will still be a 1 seed...though probably not top overall. They'll still have a Tulsa/KC route to the Final Four with a couple less games are their legs.

I'm not seeing how this is a bad thing for KU.

From that standpoint yes, but that still wouldn't temper my joy at a beaker loss.

[Kochaddict]

Fuke Duke!

TCU aint gonna win, because all Big 12 teams have an internal crease that folds easily and often when playing KU.

Its implanted in all Big 12 teams.

I wonder KU brought their urination removal team to the Sprint center. I'm sure they have to have a special team dedicated to cleaning up the mess left by the other Big XII teams.

Although, it is certainly eye-opening about their depth and mental toughness if they drop this one.

LOL yep. If KU loses this (would still really surprise me as it's the Big 12 and TCU will surely find a way to choke it away), expect Self to never punish a player for anything again.

So you mean he will return to the way he was running the program circa last week?

Not really, imho. Their depth is painfully obvious. They can afford little adversity in a game. Foul trouble or injury or blood or anything really hamstrings them immediately. Yes, they're really good. Yes, Mason is a 1st team AA. They are really good and really tough. They've won a ton of games late. But the margin for error is razor thin.

Holy ****, AFH rules at the Sprint Center. Lucas gets to rape the bigs when he's on D, but TCU gets called for the over the back every time.

No no no. That's just standard KU stuff.

It's only AFH rules if Lucas is fouling his own player and the opposition is getting called for it.
