PrintThe basketball season has officially hit fifth gear now that the Super Bowl is in the rear view, so I'm figuring we'll need to increase the frequency of evening live threads around here, huh? Tonight we've got Florida-Kentucky on ESPN (Self-share preview? Self-share preview!) and an interesting road trip for Iowa State on ESPN2. Let's thread it up!
6:00 PM CT
No. 7 Florida at No. 1 Kentucky (ESPN)
Iowa State at Oklahoma State (ESPN2)
Maryland at Clemson (ESPNU)
7:00 PM CT
Texas Tech at Kansas State (Big 12)
8:00 PM CT
Purdue at No. 3 Ohio State (ESPN)
Alabama at Auburn (ESPNU)

Wow impressive that a KU grad got a job, don't see that very often
Though seriously, Mizzou can’t really complain about journalists being in powerful places. Approximately *75% of ESPN is Mizzou grads, since we actually have a good school.
*estimate
Not afraid to nitpick
Like that's ever helped us.
Mizzou grads seem to have this thing about “impartiality”. They seem to think they’re real journalists or something.

Kentucky and Florida are good just about every year
After that, the drop off is pretty steep. The 3rd best team in the SEC seems to be a revolving door. with no team really staying in that spot for more than a couple of years. Kentucky or Florida have won the East 14 out of 20 years and have won the SEC tournament 15 out of 20 years.

Just going back to Pitino and Tubbs you have 3 straight national championship games (going 2-1 with the loss being an OT game) and Pitino won 5 out of 6 SEC tourney titles before he left (the year he didn’t, they won the National Chamionship). They were really really good.

No way
He changes every possession on defense. I’ve never seen anything like it. Oden is the closest thing I’ve seen in college in terms of “just don’t bother attacking him inside he’s better than you”, but he didn’t go out on the perimeter and block 3s for good measure.

Does anybody have a link to a video of the Thomas Robinson charge?
I hear everybody whining about it, but I don’t remember exactly what happened.
by wustl_chiefs_fan on Feb 7, 2012 7:22 PM CST reply actions
I'll tell you what happened that nobody is talking about
Phil Pressey was called for a reach-in on a clean steal and the next play Robinson gets called for a charge that was probably a make up call, but nobody wants to talk about the BS call on Pressey.
He also traveled
Before any contact was even made Robinson traveled but yet nobody seems to mention that. If you want to say you don’t think it was a charge, fine, but it should have been a turnover either way.
That's what I thought.
I remember thinking it was a travel, but I wasn’t sure if I had mixed up the two charges.
by wustl_chiefs_fan on Feb 7, 2012 7:45 PM CST up reply actions
just ewatched the end of the game on dvr
He traveled on the bucket prior to turnover taylors last slam that ended kansas’ scoring in the game too. It was worse than the travel calls against us when the game started.

Said that call was basically a six point play for the Tigers. If Robinson had gotten the points, that would have been ballgame.

I think it's a no-call
but that type of contact is called all the time. It’s hardly the Worst Call Ever Made.
Proud Meth Aggie since 2011.
That gif is probably a bit misleading
but it’s at worst a marginally bad call. Grantland seems to think the Dixon call was “worse.” My perception was that it was a much better call.

I also don't hear anyone
challenging Bill Self’s comment that they dominated the whole game except for the last 3 minutes of each half. If I recall correctly, there were over 10 lead changes in the first half and we pulled away at the end. They dominated (I’d say controlled is a better word) most of the second half but that’s about it.

Despite the fact that only 500 people show up to games
Stillwater appears to be quite a tough place to get a road win.
The only thing better than beating kU is having them think
we stole the game. Seriously, I absolutely love that they are going to be pissed off about this game for years.
Don't kid yourself.
They don't care about us as much as we care about them. We hate them more than we love our own team. They will probably have forgotten about this game by April when their winning YET another national championship.
I’m known as a bit of a dreamer!
just watched the last 5 or 6 minutes of the denmon ku game.
my goodness i’m glad that college players don’t believe in the stop and pop shot. our team feasts on teams inability to drive and pull up, thus leading to charges. otoh, dixon and denmon are terrific at it.

mainly because it’s his alma mater. I mean if I were to be the basketball coach of Mizzou and got offered a job elsewhere, I wouldn’t take it. And even if he is having a down year this year, it doesn’t mean it will be like that every year. But that’s just what I think.
