They aren't getting in at 7-11 after that ass blasting against Auburn.

Baylor has closed this one out by blinding Taz Sherman.

Baylor not playing great lately

Are they still missing Cryer? Haven't been able to watch this one until now

Not sure. They were incredibly lucky that Taz left this one with 3 mins left. He had 29 up to that point and they're going to squeak this out by a couple possessions. 

Regardless - someone will beat them come March.

One thing you'll never see in the shots of the Baylor student section is an attractive female.

Really? I’m not saying you’re wrong, but they have a pretty hot student body.

Clearly you weren't watching tonight's game. Looked like free admission for all Omega Mu

Always good to get a win against wvu, but especially noteworthy without cryer and Flagler tonight.

Without a doubt. But you’re saying we’ll never see an attractive female in the student section. They’re not Rice.

It's weird to see them not playing good defense lately. They held Villanova to what, 36 points? in that arena earlier this season.

To be fair to the 4x National Champion Baylor Bears WVU was cooking from beyond the arc. It was problematic early and Baylor was playing sloppy on top of it which drug the game out a bit.

I really think WVU maybe hands them an L if Taz doesn't go out. Oh well.

Are you combining mens and womens nattys??

I mean you combine them on your court. I was just trying to be politically correct.

Ohhhh I missed the /s tag. Got it now.

I’m really unobservant! I’ve never noticed that.

It wasn't really sarcasm and it didn't take me long to notice. Maybe a new feature? Personally I can't decide if it's a big dick move or kind of lame. If the women's titles were from like, 40 years ago it would be extremely cringey. I'm guessing the actual blue bloods with multiple titles will give you shit for it.

I don’t think either, necessarily, just kind of succinct and matter of fact.

I think there will definitely be a 7-11 Big 12 team that makes the tournament this year if one of TCU, OU, WV, or Iowa State ends up with that record. 

T-Rank projects OU to go 7-11 and based on that resume they have a 66.6% chance of making the tournament.

Damn you might be right. The 68 team format gives a lot of margin for error. 

[Al_4_ISU 12483]

Tonight should be the best night of Big 12 basketball this year. A couple of loud, rowdy, full gyms that house tenacious squads with absolute vitriol raining down on the court.

And it won’t be Hilton that wins the angriest rowdiest crowd tonight either

Didn't realize Baylor was missing Flagler AND Cryer last night, that's rough.

[Al_4_ISU 12483]

Smoke billowing that Agbaji is out tonight.  Nothing official, but keep your eye on the line.

Yeah, that's a combined 54 mpg, and almost 27 ppg. Not easy for any team.

Not a rumor anymore - team confirmed he did not travel (health and safety protocols). 

[JWinTX 53]

I like Tech and ISU tonight, straight up. I still think Tech is the best team I've seen in the Big XII this year. 

[Al_4_ISU 12483]

I originally thought Baylor was the class of the league, but I think it's Tech.

Thing about all of this is that Kansas just always ends up winning games even when they look like shit half the time.

[Al_4_ISU 12483]

Fuck this shit offense

Says almost everyone in the Big 12.

But yeah, it's been pretty brutal. Aaaaaaaand there's a missed dunk off the offensive rebound.

[Brian Fantana 6690]

Man it's really hard to beat Kansas if you can't abuse McCormack

I mean, they just abused Lightfoot on defense on two trips in a row. Doesn't have to be McCormack being abused.

Both offenses look terrible, but I find myself saying that with great frequency watching Big 12 conference play.

[Al_4_ISU 12483]

We’re just tossing away transition opportunities like crazy. Kansas is giving us every opportunity to get in this game and we refuse to take them up on that.

Had a conversion the last trip down. But even that one almost got away. Still made it. Still counts.

The good news is those opportunities are likely there as the game progresses, too. Just clean it up.

[Al_4_ISU 12483]

Christ, just forfeit and move on to Texas

[Brian Fantana 6690]

LMAO McCormack fires the ball right at the ref's face

[SL Xpress 7518]

There's a transition basket. KU with 11 turnovers already.

McCormack couldn't wait for my post to register before making it 12.

I'm not saying anything new, but McCormack is terrible. It's almost like addition by subtraction when he's off the floor. 

KU's front court is unbelievably underwhelming.

Edited February 2, 2022 by SL Xpress

[Brian Fantana 6690]

They have missed a number of easy-ish calls on KU's offense so far

Par for the course, I suppose

Chris Beard just offered to shave his head and go on a podcast if they win tonight, lol.

McCormack now with 12 points and 9 rebounds.

Lol

Ok, now. Woof

Kansas has a player with the last name Yes You Fuck You. That makes me laugh. 

[SL Xpress 7518]

Kansas looks a lot better with Yesefu out there instead of Harris.

UNFORCED TURNOVERS

[Al_4_ISU 12483]

What a shit-ass offensive effort.

But, whatever. If we play this game 1/3rd of the time we’re still well on our way to the dance and that’s a massive win considering our preseason expectations

To put it mildly. And, more important, you have a coach to hopefully build to the future with.
