NorthSideSox72 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 QUOTE (Heads22 @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 06:42 PM) Kansas State is hitting Mizzou in the mouth. KSU wins it. Have to give credit to bmags, who I believe was the one saying KSU would turn it around. Wins AT Baylor and Mizzou? And KSU's remaining three games are vs ISU, @ A&M, and vs OSU. They should win at least 2 of those 3. Texas, meanwhile, after having the hot hand, is looking most likely to be the odd team out, if there is one. Currently a game back of KSU for 5th in the conference, sitting at 17-11/7-8, and still have to play @ KU. Saturday will be fun: Mizzou @ Kansas, ISU @ KSU.

Rowand44 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 Ugh no BTN at hotel. Cmon cats! This game got even bigger cause it's been a great night for bubble teams so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmteam Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 OT! Let's go Northwestern. Shon Morris is bothering me less...I think he's starting to grow on me. Also, Jordan Morgan really annoys me, and I'm not sure why. Whenever I watch a Michigan game, even if it's not against IU, he really gets on my nerves.

danman31 Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 QUOTE (Brian @ Feb 21, 2012 -> 06:45 PM) Look sort of clueless against a 2-3 zone. They've played fine against zones before. A mediocre K State team played just about as well as it can and Mizzou played its worst home game of the season. It sucks because now Kansas will romp them and Mizzou won't get a 1 seed or the Big 12, but it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthSideSox72 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Whew. Someone was looking ahead a bit too much. If ISU has lost to T-Tech, that would have put them in a big hole for an NCAA bid. Pulled it out late to win by 18. Now 20-8 / 10-5, with @ KSU, @ Mizzou and vs Baylor left. Win one of those, and they are a lock. Lose all three, and depending on what Texas and KSU do, they may need to make a showing in the B12 Tourney to get a bid.

Heads22 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Ugliest 18 point win I've ever been to. Highlight was probably Royce driving and dribbling thru the defenders legs before a dunk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabiness42 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) Doesn't seem to be much Big East discussion here, but I gotta hand it to my Irish for winning their 9th straight last night by thumping West Virginia. It's hard for me to grasp since I still see them as the team that lost by 30 to Missouri, but clearly they're better than that now.

I think a lot depends on Texas. If Texas can't win-out, which they probably won't, then I think ISU is a near-lock (call it 90%) even if they lose all three. I think that is where you and I disagreed before - . I'd be shocked if the B12 didn't send 5 teams. I know that isn't truly part of the formula, but when it comes time to selections, I think it definitely comes into play. Furthermore, take a look at Texas and ISU's resumes right now: ISU: 20-8 / 10-5... 2 wins against Top 25, 3 wins against Top 50 TEX: 17-11 / 7-8... 1 win against Top 25, 3 wins against Top 50 ISU gets to play KSU, so they have some chance of adding to the Top 25-against resume, Texas plays KU. ISU has played better against the stronger in-conference competition. I just think the only way Texas passes ISU is if ISU loses all three and Texas wins all three. Just my view of things. Now what may be really interesting is, the way things are going, there is a good chance ISU and Texas will play each other first in the B12 tournament. So even if Texas and ISU do end up 20-11 / 10-8, and Texas then has a stronger resume, ISU could STILL get in by winning that game, which is in KC and will likely be semi-home for ISU. The only path I see with ISU not going, is they lose the next four games, and Texas wins the next four, or at least 3 of the next 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Hudler Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) I could live a happy man if I never have to see another soft one-handed pass by Jordan Hulls! I love Jordy and think he has made himself into a good player and improved immensly in the past two years, but in the past month he has gotten extrememly sloppy with the ball making terrible passes that are easily intercepted and picking up his dribble at the wrong time. Probably doesn't help that he hasn't shot nearly as well as early in the season, but combine the ball handling with his inability to play D and I am growing more frustrated by the day with him. Also, has anyone seen Christian Watford lately?? Maybe IU should make up some missing person posters and distribute them!

It appears likely there will be 5 teams finish with a 9-9 league record, creating a logjam for positions 3-7 in the standings.

Probably anywhere from 1 to 3 of them to NIT, including maybe Drake, who you don't often see in the post-season. Well, at least SIU isn't the worst team in the conference. Which is amazing considering all the new lows they have hit this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
