Not sure I remember seeing a warning for being slow out of the timeout huddles.

Big 12 really faded as the top league but injuries for both tech and byu changed their seasons.

As bad as the sec has been they still have two title contenders left and then Tennessee and Texas.

Big ten is just dominating right now. No argument there.

The big 12 only hope to save some reputation is going to be winning the whole thing. If houston can get by Illinois they may have the best shot

The cream of the crop in the Big 12 is still going in ISU, Houston and Arizona. Arizona is obviously the favorite in their region, and now Houston's path really opened up with Florida going out. The Big Ten has done really well, but hard to see the SEC's tournament so far as anything but a bust.

Getting up at 3:30 Friday and Saturday.
A good nap Friday will have to be my winning move.

Tennessee and Texas are not title contenders. If they are title contenders, than every team left is a title contender.

Houston has a chance to knock out 2 big 10 teams en route to the final four, and might be up against MSU when they get there.

Big time Houston fan this week

Less time for Iowa to recover is a win for nebby.

What was up with the tech?

 

[BigJCy]

Just heard Golden say in his post-game press conference that the plan was to FOUL Iowa and make them make 2 free throws. If they make both they would then have a last shot and if missed go to Overtime.

Interesting strategy there Cotton.

Wonder if the T was on an asst coach, because the head coach wasn't doing much

LOL wut?

Back in 1999 Iowa winning bothered me a lot. As I have gotten older now, 45, you realize there is enough bad things in the world outside of sports to care that much. The Hawks played a great game and deserved to win. So be it

First thing, STFU about the "outside world", it's not about that. Next, STFU about the Hoks playing the better game and deserved to win, are you a closet fan of both schools? Great game they played? LOL. If you are a TRUE CYCLONE FAN and even more so, if you live on the western side of the state, where they have a true hard-on for all things HOKS & HUSKERS.....we clone fans are MISERABLE, sigh.

i am guessing he has been verbally abusing them all night and they finally had enough.

If that markeuwa (however you spell his name) was in, that is what I said they should do. They said he shoots worse than BRE did. Good chance he doesn’t make both.

 

[BigJCy]

LOL wut?

Yeah I think Barkley said only thing worse than that strategy was their defensive execution.
