2020-21 Big XII Basketball Thread

I am going to rip my ears off listening to Fran keep calling bc different defenses the fastball and the curveball. 

[El Diablo 4232]

More fastbreak points from OSU, 31-26 Pokes. 

[El Diablo 4232]

35-30 OSU, halftime. 

Dig deep, Bears. 

[Homercles 10206]

Baylor takes the lead for 20m and Diablo retires the score updates lol.  At this point o just hope neither team get covid, no one gets hurt and no ones seed changes.  

[Horn80 6131]

Bears with nice run.

[Homercles 10206]

They’ve done it on the glass, it was a great adjustment at halftime to limit the fast breaks and is paying off with paint points.  

[Horn80 6131]

Oklahoma State play reminds me of Texas.  They fall behind looking like going to lose then come roaring back to take the lead.

This version of Oklahoma St would beat Texas by double digits.

[Al_4_ISU 12470]

I’m at Elgin Park downtown Tulsa. Enjoying watching the Poke fans go nuts. Fuck Baylor.

Oklahoma St is a fucking problem.  They're hitting their stride at the right time.  

A FUCKING PROBLEM!!!

[Blotto 23560]

Goddamn the pokes are playing flawless down the stretch.

Baylor getting punked.  Sweet

[LTtxfan 49304]

Love the sad baylor fan faces... 😥😥😥

[shadow_operative2.0 16007]

Didn’t count, but pretty sick dunk. 

[PittsburghTiger 6192]

What a final few minutes for State.  Impressive 

[Machinator 32099]

OSU might be a 2 seed.

[Sal 1088]

Baylor:

Still no Texas school has won the Big 12 tournament and it ain’t gonna be Baylor this year!

[Hornlover 8830]

Maybe the NCAA will deny the appeal of the OK State postseason ban tonight, and we will be given the conference championship?

Strike up the aggy band.

[Okie State 3821]

Fuck Baylor! Woooo! I'll drink to that.

[El Diablo 4232]

Great game, congrats to the Cowboys. Wonder how many lead changes there were? Each team just kept reeling the other one back in and Okie had the last lead. 

[VirginiaLonghorn 4777]

Self, Huggins, and Drew want Shaka to get an extension ... and they’ve done a fine job getting Texas into the CCG.

[Braff Zacklin 13628]

Congrats on the big win, 'Pokes.

Also: Fuck Baylor.

Love that place, I’m just down the street, haha! At a hotel party for my 9 year old daughter, a gaggle of screaming girls.

Im so happy, haven’t enjoyed college basketball this much in 15 years!

[LTtxfan 49304]

Wow, so Rick Barnes never won the B12 Tournament ???

 

[UrbanAchiever 278]

Nope. Made the finals a handful of times under Barnes. 

[Homercles 10206]

[Machinator 32099]

Lost to Tech in the first round in our first game the year we made the Final Four under Barnes.

Glad the Branch Covidians have been eliminated.

[Homercles 10206]

Man what a season.  I’m more worried about covid ruining things early than I am about the eventual exit from it all.  Dayton from last year comes to mind.  Pay that Mike his money.  
 

That was a great battle.  Running all over the court in the first half, Baylor adjusts by crashing the glass, then it’s Cade being ice cold from the stripe.  Honestly though the difference was Baylor shooting poorly from 3pt land.  6/28 is not their standard.

It was incredible being around drunk people going nuts over sports.

The Czech pils slams.

Their house beers are pretty good but very average compared to several others in town. Not sure how long you’re staying, but definitely try Marshall, Cabin Boys, and/or American Solera. Now that I think of it I’m pretty sure I was there a few years ago during an ISU tourney game and there were Cyclone fans there cheering their asses off, it was enjoyable.

I was watching on my phone, haha. I remember when she was born knowing that if we were ever good at basketball again the timing would be a pain in the ass and here we are, haha.

Yeah good stuff.

The wife and I have been getting Elgin pizza as takeout during the pandemic on the reg. I do miss going there. I have some friends who are good friends with Elliot Nelson and we went to the soft open of Elgin before it opened. God that feels like a million years ago at this point.

[Al_4_ISU 12470]

Visiting my cousin. At Cain’s now waiting on the Damn Quails to take the stage. I’m the guy in red flannel with a state of Iowa flag ball cap.

We had the Meatza. Tasty.

I was at American Solera in ‘19. It’s excellent. Going to those 3 tomorrow likely.

The only local brewery’s I consider lower than average are Broken Arrow (which I doubt you’d go since it’s in the burbs), Renaissance (their wheat is good and their pepper beer is good, everything g else is just ok), and Welltown, which isn’t bad but not close to the others. Heirloom and Nothings Left are worthwhile too. The best selection in town is McNellies, or my preference Roosevelt’s on Cherry Street, right by my house.

I went to Welltown in ‘19. Agree with your assessment

Shaka is either going to blow this or make us eat some crow. Neither outcome would surprise me in the least.

To be fair, Barnes (and Augie) shunned the conference tourneys as a means to keep their teams healthy and primed for the big show.

Then that approach only worked for Augie.
