know thy enemy Stories - Burnt Orange Nation
RPI WATCH: 1/5/2011
I think the negative tone of my KNOW THY ENEMY preview might have pissed off Baylor. LaceDarius Dunn fell one point shy of tying Michael Beasley and Denis Clemente for the Big 12 single-game scoring record, but he did record career highs for points (43) and 3-pointers made (10) to spark a 19-4...
KNOW THY ENEMY: Texas Tech Red Raiders (revisited)
As far as my early previews from back in October are concerned, I could not have whiffed worse than I did in previewing Texas Tech. They were understandably excited over at Double T Nation, despite last night's loss at New Mexico. But I wouldn't go over there for a while to talk hoops, as they're...
KNOW THY ENEMY: Iowa State Cyclones (revisited)
It's time to venture up to Ames (again) and see what Farmageddon on the hardwood might look like this year (for the second time). Click the jump for the most comprehensive preview of the Cyclone hoopsters you'll find this side of Clone Chronicles. The Story So Far But for a three-game losing...
KNOW THY ENEMY: Nebraska Cornhuskers
Mere words cannot describe Nebrasketball. It must be experienced to be believed. But I shall try my best to convey the strange state of hoops up north, after the jump. If I should fail in my endeavor, kindly visit Corn Nation. Yes, they actually do talk about basketball over there, from time to...
KNOW THY ENEMY: Texas Longhorns
Come Jan. 18, the Cats will host quite possibly the best team in the nation. Despite how well we're playing now, we'll still have to step our game up to a new level -- and possibly the best game we will play all season -- to defeat the Texas Longhorns. To scout the team that I think has the best...
KNOW THY ENEMY: Colorado Buffaloes (revisited)
After an impressive showing, albeit in a pair of losses, in the Maui Invitational, some thought that Colorado was on the verge of breaking out of the Big 12 cellar and making some strides. But as one geriatric sports personality likes to say: Not so fast, my friend. For a modified breakdown of the...
KNOW THY ENEMY: Texas A&M Aggies (revisited)
This entry isn't late — it's just making a fashionable entrance. Here's what I wrote about the Aggies back in October. Keep in mind this was right after we put 60-plus on their football team: This week's preview probably is one of the more distasteful I will compose, perhaps only to be...
KNOW THY ENEMY: Oklahoma State Cowboys
This installment of KNOW THY ENEMY should come in handy, because the Oklahoma State Cowboys have a bevy of new faces this year. Hit the jump for a preview of this mystery team. The Story So Far The Cowboys are 10-1, with the only blemish coming at Tulsa (by 21 points), but none of the wins...
KNOW THY ENEMY: Missouri Tigers
OK, it's time to get these started again. Admittedly, I faltered a bit due to work, but things are back under control for now. These will proceed largely as before, but with a few exceptions: Instead of reformatting the player bios like I did before, which was majorly time-consuming and part of...
KNOW THYSELF: Kansas State Wildcats
Always save the best for last, I say. Why am I profiling our own team? Well, you never know when new readers might stumble across the site, and on the off-chance they've been hibernating and are unaware of the freight train that's slowly bearing down on the Big 12, I figured I might as well wrap...
