 Looks like a handful of fans in the stands at OU.  Are all schools now letting fans in now ?

All? No. It varies by local regulations. 

I mean, Knoxville had 3500 fans when they played UConn in WBB. That was a season high nationwide

Feels like a MackBrown-KansasBasketball.com kinda year for them.

So Cunningham and Walker are both out for OSU today. We have 8 active players. So much for an upset. We'll be lucky to lose by less than 40. And fuck kansas, they are apparently complete dogshit. So much for that "signature" win.

[SEC 1174]

OU sucks tho

Probably need to schedule another game with UK to get shit right. 

[El Diablo 4232]

'Pokes just need to harass and crash the glass as much as they can and get fast points. I don't think they have much of a chance at a slower paced game against Baylor.

Agree, we have to stay super aggressive on both sides, but with 8 active players, and with a week off from practice, I"m not sure we can maintain this the whole game.

Toss in Duke, UNC, Kentucky, and Indiana.   This year is going to be interesting if they manage to get through March madness

And their fans here have been eerily quiet. They talk condescending smack when they are good and we suck.

my, my...

['stache 21802]

Nice first half, our second half history doesn't bode well, but here's hoping we keep it close and by some miracle pull of a w? Dare I dream?

A little success breeds confidence and your guys are looking confident. Let's see if Baylor has an answer on the road.

Covid protocol. My guess is he had it, tested negative, but failed one of these additional tests. Found this on an OSU blog.

“Additionally, return to play protocols after positive occurrences will include an EKG, troponin blood test, echocardiogram, and cardiac MRI.”

That makes sense since he is actually on the bench in street clothes. 

['stache 21802]

Good effort. Not enough manpower for 40 minutes. Lets end within 10 please.

[SEC 1174]

looks like osu just gave out

[El Diablo 4232]

How 'bout that Baylor? When you share the ball you score points. I think they've had an assist on probably 9 out of the last 10 buckets while they've been on this run.

I don't think they've said, I just assume COVID.

Weird that someone in covid protocol can be on the sidelines cheering on his team.

Hell, Trevor was all over the sideline during the first ND game.

Weird that they've decided to start letting fans back in to games just as covid is climaxing, but welcome to the NCAA.

[SimonBolivar 10958]

Kudos to oSu for playing really well without their star and a key piece. Hopefully the NCAA gives them the waiver because this team can beat anyone and could be one of those teams that sneaks into the S16 or E8.

for any player in all sports that play during 2020 or 2021, there is a blanket NCAA waiver.

Think he might have been talking about sanctions being waived.

Oh, I didn't even realize OSU was under sanction

['stache 21802]

It wouldn't be a "waiver" it would be overruling the ridiculous post season ban. We don't deserve even the other punishments but fine, we'll take that, but postseason ban is absolutely ridiculous considering we had no competetive advantage as Lamont Evans' actions were solely to enrich himself and was convicted for an actual crime.

[Catdaddyhorn 3444]

As long as the sanction is under appeal OKla St is considered eligible for the tournament.  The only thing that would make them ineligible at this point is a decision against them on that appeal coming down before the tournament participants are named.

[ButtFumble 5172]

sort of Big 12 related since OU was an upset over Kansas today, but there were a shit load of other upsets today in the SEC SEC SEC, Big 10, and PAC 12 

the PAC 12 and SEC SEC SEC are very limited on ranked teams (I think 2 each) and one of their lost for each conference and the Big 10 is eating their own now with some of their unranked beating some of their lower ranked

really helps the Big 12 especially with the Big 12 having a sort of SEC SEC SEC football type late season "break" (because of covid) for some of their games

[EuroHorn 3260]

Tech v WVU should be good tonight 

['stache 21802]

Sloppy start against ISU, but now on top by 10. Cade Cunningham is out again, but Rondel Walker is back. ISU has 6 scholarship players and 2 walkons, according to the announcers. Bummer for them.

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

These WV golds are rough on the eyes. 

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Tech up 6 at the under-4. 

Edited January 26, 2021 by shadow_operative2.0

[EuroHorn 3260]

McClung with a 3. Tech up by three with a minute to go

[shadow_operative2.0 15965]

Big 3 by McClung, up 3 with 1:09 left.

We got absolutely BUTT fucked by the officials in the last 10 minutes of that game

McClung hits game winners against us but not other teams? What an asshole

That lived up to its billing!

Yep.  Burton draws contact in the lane...no call

ensuing drive Deuce throws up a prayer 3pt shot that goes short with :04 left on the shot clock and gets total bullshit bailout call.

 

Very frustrating.  they were fouling the living fuck out of McClung on the dribble and called it like once.

 

Fuck it.  Make shots and score more points.  Sure would have been nice for the officials to be more consistent.

[Bash Riprock 1695]

Texas beat WVU with a shot in the last seconds.

Tech beats Texas on last second shot.

West Virginia beats Tech on a shot in the last seconds.

Full Circle

[Guest]

Tech averages 23.8 FT a game.

Tonight they had 12 attempts... against fouling-ass West Virginia.   LOLz.

 

WVU had 27.
