Kansas - Texas Tech tied at 28
2:20 left in the first half……interesting.
Syracuse and Georgetown in a good battle right now too.
Cuse up 57-51….13 min to go.
Well, that would help the Aggies more than anything....
can you imagine to get to the finals they would just have to beat nebraska and tech….hilarious!
Gtown now up on Syracuse 60-59
10 minutes to go………..great game.
Jayhawks wearing down Tech
47-37 KU, 15:54
It couldn’t last long.

Gtown pulling away.....
Was Syracuse a lock as a 1 seed?
Actually
I’m thinking with this and their last loss to Louisville, they may drop down to #2.
Where’s AW when you need him?
by Infield Elephant on Mar 11, 2010 1:08 PM CST up reply actions
right?
so maybe Purdue or Ohio St has a door opened now?
So...
Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, tOSU/Purdue?
And what if TTU pulls it off? KU a lock?

Bracketology
Still has Cuse a 1. Looks like he’s saying they may go West instead of South.
AW, thoughts on whether the Houston regional would get Duke or Kentucky should they win out?
Houston Regional
I could see Syracuse getting shipped West and Duke getting to stay east if they were to win the ACC tourney.
That would put Kansas in St. Louis and Kentucky to Houston.
--AW--
They are a lock as a #1 seed
The committee could take into account the injury to Onuaku but even the injury won’t make enough of a difference.
Plus, there aren’t four teams better than Syracuse even without him: Kansas, Kentucky, Duke and…? K State, Purdue, Ohio State, West Virginia? I don’t think so.
--AW--
Well, a predicted #1 seed goes down in their first game of a conference tourney..
Syracuse gets that dubious distinction…..another one, Kansas is getting all it can handle from Tech.
Under 8 timeout....
Kansas 64 Texas Tech 59
I did not expect this!
huge back-to-back 3's by Kansas
lead back up to 8 in a flash.
damn well this one looks in hand
they need to knock collins out

Tech losing its composure at the end...
KU up 73-63, 3 min to go

I Would Hate to Lose 3 Times to Baylor
But I am expecting it. That Baylor team really impresses me with their style, effort, and enjoyment of the game. I think they will be a very tough out in the tourney.
Agreed.
If we do lose, I think I’m pulling for Baylor.

I hate baylor
They ran the score up last game.
I have a feeling that we might pull this one out tonight! Call me an optimistic homer…I just have a feeling
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Absolutely
Stay that way. I have hope as well.
Not too bothered by anything Baylor at this point. Except for the ladies (just Brittney really)

It was like that for me too
Fixed its self a few posts ago.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Here's to hoping Texas does to Baylor what they did to us last year....
end the opponents win streak against that team in the big 12 tourney!
Baylor is
A 1 point favorite tonight.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
I hope that is true
We are going to need some help. Line is way off if you ask me.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Seriously?
That is surprising – but I trust the wise guys – only ones who put their money where their mouth is. Talking heads only mention predictions when they are right.

Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. If they get mad, you're a mile away AND you have their shoes.
K-State Takes an early 6-2 lead
Right now it does not look like OSU belongs on the floor with K-state.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
You came to that conclusion after a 4 point lead?

Yea, it is pretty obvious
I think you can tell a lot in the first 5 minutes.
but, we are in for a long game.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Some of that was sarcastic
Its hard to tell when you are reading stuff.
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
Grateful to be burnt orange
OSU’s unis are radioactive.

You ain't hurt...
Sweet
Thanks!
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
I hope these same refs are not going to be calling the Texas game
18 or 19 fouls called in 12 minutes
"The best decision I ever made was coming to Texas," James said. "The second-best decision was coming back."
nope
big 12 network or espn360….I’m sure there is an online link
k thx. im watching the most boring big east game possible
PB, u need to transfer; ur schools basketball team runs the most boring offense possible. sick of hearing bilas go “yes its so impressive that ND has bought into this ‘burn’ offense.” makes for terrible television
by ibleedburntorange49-9 on Mar 11, 2010 6:46 PM CST up reply actions
The top seeds shining once again in the big 12 tourney..
I guess that’s why a seed of 5 or lower has never won this tourney.
It's only 61-31 K St.....lol
now that’s how you respond to a home loss to Iowa St.
rick barnes
Someone please show Rick the door.
I thought it would be different during the playoffs, but NO.
Players without the ball are still standing around in the half court offense like they are in little league. Watching them trying to score is painful.
