Saturday Big 12 Bball Action

by awiggo on Jan 19, 2008 10:56 AM CST

All twelve conference teams are in action today.

Oklahoma State (10-6, 1-1) at Iowa State (11-6, 1-1) 12:45 PM ESPN Full Court
Both of these teams will finish near the bottom of the conference this season. I'll take ISU at home.

Texas Tech (10-6, 1-1) at Oklahoma (12-5, 0-2) 3 PM ESPN Full Court
Tech is coming off another win over the Aggiest while OU got pounded on Monday by Kansas. The Sooners will be without the services of star freshman Blake Griffin. Toss up. I'll take OU at home.

#9 Texas A&M (15-2, 1-1) at Kansas State (11-4, 1-0) 3 PM ESPN
Aggies face their second tough road game against a rested KSU squad. Can Beasley and Walker snag a signature win? Probably not. I'll take A&M bouncing back and not falling below .500 in conference.

Baylor (14-2, 2-0) at Nebraska (11-4, 0-2) 5 PM ESPN Full Court
This is an very improved Baylor squad. I wasn't impressed with the Huskers against Kansas a week ago. Other than Maric, they don't have much else. I'll take Aaron Bruce and the other 15 Baylor guards to get a nice road win.

#3 Kansas (17-0, 2-0) at Missouri (11-6, 1-1) 7 PM ESPNU
Kansas has looked like the best team in the country recently. I don't expect to see anything else this evening. KU wins one of their four toughest road games left.

Early losses

Tarheels (at home) go down to Terps 82-80.

USC beats UCLA (at home) 72-63.

Agros trying to lose two in a row on the road with less than 10 minutes to go.

And the day is barely half over...

Unbelievable day already

#2 and #4 have already lost at home. #9 lost on the road.

#3 Kansas will play a tough game @ Mizzou. I hope they lose for the obvious reasons, and the fact that our loss to them doesn't look so damn embarrassing.

UPDATE: Add another one. #10 Pittsburgh just lost @ Cincinnati.

Also, #15 Mississippi is up by 3 @ Auburn.

Hopefully Barnes notified the players of UNC/UCLA losing at home, so they're motivated to focus against an inferior team.
