PrintFor those of us unable to tune in, I'm hoping we can get some insight to what's going on in the field today. Anyone following, hit us up with some daytime updates, if you would be so kind. Tech & Colorado kick it off at 11:30am, followed by Mizzou & Nebraska at 2:00pm. Texas takes on Iowa St. tonight at 8:30pm, for which I am sure we will have an open thread sooner than later.

I hate to be a Negative Nancy, but I am prepared to see us lose.
Hear’s hoping we win! Hook ’em!

I don't expect to lose today
but will not be surprised if we lose to Baylor. However, I think we’re more than capable of making a decent run here and in the NCAA.

I’m dissapointed Texas isn’t on ESPN or ESPN 2 tonight. I usually watch them while jogging on the treadmill on Wednesdays after I get out of grad school classes.
What is the big 12 network?
Yea, they are doing that wierd stretch version...
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Thanks for posting this, IE
Bumped it over to the main page. Wish I could see these games, but I’m stretched thin this week.
You ain't hurt...
Looks like Nebraska is gving it to Mizzou
20-9 Nebraska 11:34 left in the first.
still a long way to go though.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Wow.
It is early, but we could see some surprises. Would like to see OSU take K-State. Big XII has beat the crap out of each other this season and could continue here with any of these teams, imo. Conf tourney’s always tough for me. Hard to pull for anyone else and it can fire a team up or kill momentum going into the dance.

Link
Here is an online link for anyone that is stuck at work and can’t get ESPN360 to work, like me.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
You beat me
By just seconds it seems
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Nebraska still up
36-24 with 3:00 minutes left in the first half.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Nebraska up 39-28 at half
Have not been able to watch much, but just looking at the box scores it seems Mizzou is having a “texas-type” performance. (and by that I mean the other team is hitting a lot of 3 pointers.)
Nebraska is shooting 59% form the field and are 5-10 from 3 point range. Also 8-10 from the line
While Mizzou just can’t get anything to fall. Shooting just 35% from the field and just 3-12 from the arch.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
46-28 Nebraska 17:30 Left
Amazing considering that Kansas City is all but a home court for Mizzou.
Nebraska is shooting 64%
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Unreal.
Not that Mizzou is unstoppable, but Huskers have been… well, pretty horrible. Freaking love March.

6:00 left play Nebraska still up 61-47
Both teams are having a hard time finding the hoop.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
64-51 3:30 left
Under 4 timeout, Mizzou needs to make some things happen quickly.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Its acutally 65
So 8 points in 3 minutes, haha
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
After two nebraska FTs
Mizzou knocks down a 3
67-54, TO Mizzou.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Mizzou gets a stop
Hits a quick 3, forces a turnover and gets fouled I think. (Justin.tv is very choppy right now)
Nebraska player is on the floor, looks like he was hit right above the eye. Nebraska coach is not happy.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Mizzou hits both FTs
8 point game, 1:41 left
This is getting good quickly
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Nebraksa Guard hits 2 FTs
Making it 69-51 1:31 left
He was a 66% FT shooter on the season, pretty clutch
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Nebraska goes back to the line again
Hits 2 more free throws, 71-59 1:11 left.
Looks like Mizzou is all but done
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
I saw it early at 20-9...
I am not sure if they did or not.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Mizzou misses a 3
Nebraska gets the rebound and it looks like Mizzou is just going to let the clock run.
Huskers get fouled with 39 seconds left, hits both free throws.
73-59, 33 seconds left mizzou is at the line.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Nebraska hits two more FTs
Mizzou Misses and they are just going to dribble the clock out.
Nebraska hit some big time free throws down the stretch. Last 8 points came from the line.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Final 75- 60 Nebraska
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
You bet
I think this is the most fun I have ever had at work
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
And done.
Aggies prob not sure what to think.

I'm pretty sure they are happy.

Yeah.
But would like to see Nebraska catch fire and run with it.

Aggies will crush....
it pains me to ever say that……but this cinderella run for Nebraska ends after just 1 game.
Would be awesome to see them win and make a run at the tourney
Like Georgia did last season, or the season before.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Does this count as Beergutting
if Texas isn’t playing yet?
by Infield Elephant on Mar 10, 2010 6:20 PM CST reply actions
Did we?
I selectively lobotomized the last month from my brain. Fresh start for the tournament.
Right on! No more sandbaggin', Rick.
I hear the dinner bell
this game is over. See y’all on the Texas game.
Right on! No more sandbaggin', Rick.
