Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the allegations at OSU have dick to do with Boynton?

Yep.  Underwood brought in that dipshit with him, who tried to steer certain players to specific agents for bribes...apparently without the players even knowing the agent was going to be there.  Within 72 hours of the allegations he was fired.  There was no competitive benefit, he acted alone, it was purely for Lamont Evan’s benefit.  
 

SCar got off with baby self imposed penalties and we should too.  Had nothing to do with HCMB

No argument on that, but at the time of selection of the All Big 12, OSU was banned from post season play. OSU definitely has gotten a raw deal on the sanctions, but I've seen a lot of people get thrown overboard because of fear of negative perceptions. 

[Homercles 10205]

Yeah no argument on CoY, can see an argument either way.  Just noting the story with Lamont Evans.  I wish osu had ball movement like Baylor.

Path to lock down a 3 seed is very clear. Get revenge on Tech and beat a weakened Kansas and it should be a given.

And KU is still gonna play?  Scott Drew can’t believe it.

You probably want to credit Drew for overcoming Covid, right?  I'd feel a lot differently if they had played their fucking schedule and not gamed the shit out of it to avoid some of the rigor. 

If BU had forfeited every game they didn't play (UT, TCU, @ OU, and WVU) they'd still be a game ahead of the 3 teams in 2nd place.

So at this point no news on oSu is good news right?

I guess having 2 guys out and having 8 guys out is a bit different

I assume so. I think Cade could have played on Saturday but was held out. No word on Likekele yet. What really sucks is that even if comes back he'll probably be rusty.

So if we beat WVU we should move up to a 3, right?

NCAA is stupid... Glad Okie Lite is playing !!!

[Homercles 10205]

I dunno, in basketball...at least this point in this season...OU should be ‘okie lite’

Lunardi pretty high on the B12 there. Isn't Texas a 4 in most brackets?

[El Diablo 4232]

Seems like I recall NCAA declaring BU's Perry Jones III ineligible about an hour before tournament play started one year. Drew had been ignoring them all year and they didn't like that so hammer time for the tourney. Not saying he didn't have it coming, by the rules there was a violation. Just pointing out that NCAA is a little bitch. 

['stache 21813]

Go Clones. I know it's unlikely but ISU gave them a game in the regular season and ISU seems to have a hardon for the tournament. Also OU is reeling right now and the disgrace of being ISU's sole conference win this season, in the tournament no less, would be delicious. 

[NorthLoop 14195]

Holy shit I hadn't really noticed ISUs record until today. That's.... bad. 

[Hornlover 8830]

Kinda surprised KSU was able to put it on TCU like that. KState seems to be peaking at the right time, while TCU seems to be floundering.

KSU's defense has been really good of late (or their pace is really slow). Over their last 6 games they've given up:

KU - 59 (L)

TCU - 54 (W)

OU - 57 (W)

WVU - 65 (L)

ISU - 56 (W)

TCU - 50 (W)

 

[shadow_operative2.0 15973]

Yeah, I only saw the box score too, but was surprised it was that bad. I went to Sunday night’s TCU game, there was a lot of not-giving-a-shit going on then.

Seeding-wise it probably helps the conference as a whole to have OU win this game, but I still prefer them to lose at all junctures.

Always root for OU to lose.

How many days until Prohm gets the axe?

Depends on how much publicity they want. If they want to hide it, it'll get announced on Selection Sunday around 5pm Central.

If they want to milk it for press, they'll try to get the press release out mid next week, when there's a dearth of new basketball information, as everybody just waits for the tourney to start.

Ugh, I have a zoom meeting at noon, so i'll have to watch the end of our game from my phone while pretending to pay attention to the meeting.

[El Diablo 4232]

I picked the wrong week to stop sniffing glue. Actually, wrong week to take a couple of days off in the middle of the week. I'll get to catch the 1st 30 minutes of the BU game but then it's back to catching up on the 200+ emails from the idjits. I'll try to follow the radio broadcast at least. Do wish ESPN would allow the local radio broadcasts for the teams to be streamed. 

['stache 21813]

So let's see if Boynton can really coach. Need to figure out that double team trap on Cade. He's not handling it well, at all. 

['stache 21813]

If Boynton wants coach of the year sometime, he can start by teaching our guys to avoid fucking charging calls. Every other fucking drive, goddamnit!

[Homercles 10205]

With 10m to go this is playing out almost exactly like the last game...osu consistently trailing due to TOs and sloppy play.  Let’s hope it ends the same with a spurt to jump ahead.  Obviously it’d be nice to win here and make a play for a 3 seed to avoid the juggernauts if we can advance a few times in the ncaa’s, but not gonna hold my breath.

Well, you may be behind on your feed because I'm seeing a 5 pt lead for OSU after they created a bunch of WVU turnovers in the past 3 minutes or so.

8 point lead

[Trey3216 15346]

Pretty damn good game going on here  

[clapclapclap 9000]

Overheard on the Pat McAfee Show:

"Where's this game at?"

"Maybe Dallas?"

"Naw, can't be Dallas, I see people wearing masks."

[Homercles 10205]

Down to 3 after b2b treys for WVU.  But there was a spurt there where we showed what’s possible with minimal TOs, having Ice back and some patience on offense. 

['stache 21813]

This fucking conference is a buzzsaw. We finally went on a run and WVU comes right back. Gonna need to be flawless to hold this lead, and our slopiness is going to be a problem.

['stache 21813]

And like clockwork, turnover. 

[Js1 85321]

WV really had their chances and couldn't finish at the rim there to take the lead. 

[Homercles 10205]

This league is such a beating.  Feel like every game for a month has been a nail biter.  

[shadow_operative2.0 15973]

Damn, little late, whitey.
