Big 12 Basketball '22-'23 (fuck Baylor)

[Js1 87,174]

Holy shit that inbounds was awful 

[Al_4_ISU 12,623]

2-0.  6 more wins to Dance.  I’ll take it.  Especially after blowing a 17 point lead.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

O’Bannon baseline jumper, Frogs up 1 in Waco, :4 left on ESPN2.

Not a 3.

[shadow_operative2.0 16,255]

Baylor was up 17 early. 

Layup blocked, Frogs win.

What if you lose your last 10 conference games by 40 points each after starting 8-0?

Given the state of the Big 12 that might be fine.

Is this going to be the final chapter for Bob Huggins if they don't make the tournament? Has missed 2 of the last 3 NCAA tournaments and is 15-22 in Big 12 play the last 2+ seasons.

It looks like the Idaho killer posted bail and suited up for Iowa State

Fun finish in FW. TCU down 1 and shooting 3 FTs with 23 left 

[Js1 87,174]

ISU 3 with 1.6 seconds left to win 69-67

This is really fucking fun

[Rickylovesweed 15,453]

TCU is a weird team. Some days they look like one of the best teams in the nation and other days look really bad. 

[BigOrange1 6,611]

why is kansas only -1.5 @ wvu?

[harpercollins 394]

Coach tang just got a monster standing ovation his first trip back to Waco. Something tells me we may want to take that back in a couple hours lol.

KSU up 10-4 already. They look for real

Edited January 7, 2023 by Js1

[Brian Fantana 6,862]

Down 3 starters this game for OU at home lol....can't catch a break

[Brian Fantana 6,862]

And another player apparently. That KU game really cost us a lot.

[mrhorn 1,456]

K State put up 47 in the 1st half shooting 60%. Nowell with 18 points 4-6 3s. Dude seems good.

Yeah, he seems to know what he’s doing. I know it’s still early and there really isn’t a significant sample size, but he turned that roster so quickly and seems to coach his ass off. KSU is going to have one hell of a time keeping him.

Yeah, I should add it also really helps when you have two legitimate B12 POY candidates. 

[harpercollins 394]

We somehow made it to overtime despite lazy d and mediocre shooting.

Nowell is legit. Looks and plays like Pierre Jackson (one of my faves).

[Pam Cummings 9,867]

Great game here with K St and Baylor. Nowell has just killed them.

[LTtxfan 49,985]

In OT...   Kstate beats bears in waco

Kstate now 3-0

[Js1 87,174]

Road teams having a great day in the Big 12. KSU in Waco, KU in Morgantown, ISU in Fort Worth, Texas in Stillwater and OU is up late in Lubbock 

[harpercollins 394]

Wow. 0-3. We are really overrated.

Really want to see a replay of that shooting foul on nowell to give him three free throws. It looked like from my seats the ball was well below his waist.

[Brian Fantana 6,862]

Sigh, I feel bad for the kids on our team. Just an endless string of bad luck this season. Home game that you absolutely needed for record and team morale and you can't get it done. We're down a lot of players right now but OU isn't good. Ah well.

[LTtxfan 49,985]

It's 8:25pm...

Spoiler

And...    ou sucks !!!

 

[Js1 87,174]

Road Team Saturday. 

[Al_4_ISU 12,623]

I never thought for a second that we’d get better at point guard after losing Hunter, but Tamin Lipsey looks like the Big 12 Freshman of the Year so far.

[qwertyu1234 497]

No, that would be Gradey Dick

I kinda forgot he’s a frosh.  Kansas has “that guy” every season.

Still, I’m in awe of quickly Lipsey has become a difference maker and the amount of clutch plays he’s made.  When he originally signed, the idea was he’d be playing behind Hunter learning the ropes.

[Rickylovesweed 15,453]

I said this is another thread, but Texas fans overreacted to the K-State loss. A lot of Texas fans were undervaluing K-State. They're one of the best offensive teams in the country and are a legit top 15 team.

Didn't Texas Tech have injury issues last year too? When is this not bad luck but rather a problem with Mark Adams? 

Maybe it's just two years of bad luck or maybe it's a terrible strength and conditioning staff/a coach that's too physical in practices.

Maybe, who knows. We did have some injury issues last year but it's nothing like what we've dealt with so far this year.

Conference race runs through the old Big 12 North 

Didnt see that coming with Baylor and Tech winless in conference play 

[Hookem2147 22,011]

Tech plays at Iowa State tomorrow and in Austin on Saturday.

They are potentially staring 0-5 in the face.

You mean it runs through Kansas like it does every year. 😂

Agree that through 3 the standings are a little unexpected.

['stache 22,131]

Gonna be a lot of close games this season, and I expect OSU will lose a bunch of them. Talent is there, coaching seems good enough, but missing a real leader and consistent star player. I bet 7-8 teams make the tourney, I doubt we'll make the cut. I like Boynton a lot but I'm not sure he makes it past this season unless we end up at least in the top half of the conference.

I mean, first point goes without saying.

Second point though, I don't think even the biggest KSU/ISU homers had them in a 3-0 tie for the conference lead, while  Baylor/Tech are 0-3.  TCU/Texas about where I thought they'd be, considering 2 of our first 3 conf games were on the road. Didn't figure we'd lose the home game though. 

[Uncle Nate 2,097]

Tech is young, small, and injured.  Saturday night we had two of our starters, who are also the two guys who pretty much carry the team on their shoulders, out with injuries, and they will probably be out tomorrow night again as well.

Our big guy, new transfer from Utah State broke his foot/ankle/leg before the season ever began.  

Adams' defense really needs long guys and we just don't have them.  We really only have two veterans, and everyone else is extremely young and inexperienced.  This year is lost, IMHO.  Question is...can we keep some of the young talent from transferring out at the end of the year.
