    Yeah, I made that post right as Sampson called a timeout and started laying into them -- they've been focused since then.

    But he's as slow as Christmas and his team had double digit losses. If he was that good he wouldn't have went pro last year.

    Knew it was going to be brutal. Don't want to see Kansas again until next Fall. UH is going to be hard to eliminate. They are very gritty. They battle fight.

    The monster trap was pushing him way outside the paint there was one play he ended up behind the 3 point line. He had 7 turnovers so defense was solid on him tonight.

    Should the Coogs sit their starters against Baylor?? Getting rest during this time period is valuable

    Buck, I would "like" your post, but only in the sense that I like truth, no matter how unfortunate that truth might be. I fear our only chance against Duke's size will be a shooter's chance-- our entire guard corp will have to hit 3s, especially transition 3s, at a high %-- but we can do that! One step at a time, I know, but I'm anticipating our Finals match-up. Hoping Milos will be our x factor. And someone wake Arceneaux up for that game, please!

    He was making some bone-headed passes, but a lot of that is probably because of what you mention above.

    I fell asleep with less than 2 minutes left. Woke up at like 2am and had to make sure nothing crazy happened!

    Other teams have tall guys too.

    Tuggler and Roberts are quite good, but vertically limited.

    Aggies knocked off Auburn, and it wasn't that close. Wonder how the rankings change?

    Auburn lost to the Aggies; will that shake up the rankings?

    Probably not. If Auburn loses to Alabama at home on Saturday then Duke will probably go to #1. Assuming we beat Baylor Saturday we would most likely stay at #3 in the polls and retain our MIdwest #1 seed in tournament.

    There is a chance if we don't beat Baylor we could get knocked down to to a 2 seed in the tournament. There is a contingent that would like to see 3 out of 4 of the 1 seeds go to SEC teams. That would take us losing to Baylor and Alabama beating Auburn for that to happen IMO. We need to win against Baylor to make sure we nail down a #1 tournament seed.

    Technically we have a shot however what I've heard is his parents are heavily pushing for him to stay home.

    Regular season champions should have option to skip conference tournament without penalty or having to "forfeit." Feels like a lot of squeezing for little juice there right now. I'd rather they rest for the NCAA tournament. Seven of last ten NCAA champions lost their conference tournament, most in the semifinals.
