Maybe someday we'll get to unfurl another wbb number in Hilton.
Tech scored 73 points in just the 2nd and 3rd quarters.
And new poll out. Baylor at #2. TCU is the only other Big 12 team even in the "receiving votes" category. Has the league even been this down?

Iowa likely dropped to a 4 (their RPI had been as high as 4th before the Michigan loss), so they're heading in the right direction. A couple more losses and they may not host at all.Not posting this just to troll @Buster28 but the NCAA had their first sixteen revel today. Iowa got a #4. PAC 12 would have five teams hosting. Baylor's a #1 of course.
Last night #3 Oregon handed #4 UCONN its worst loss EVER at Gampel Arena, which opened in 1990, 74-56. The previous largest margin of defeat was 17, handed to them by Iowa (also in '90).
They are pretty good, better than expected, but not sure they can sustain a top 16 level. They have had a amazing knack for pulling games out when they have been down late. Give a lot of that credit to senior guards but still hard to keep doing.
Watched a little of the Brenda Frese's fighting marsh turtles last night. Just crushed a short squad MSU. They could have easily topped 100. With MSU playing everyone but walk-on's Maryland slowed it down. They have five players out. Announcers were talking top candidates for Big 10 POY. Iowa's Doyle was one of the top 4. It is possible both Iowa and ISU could have POY, again. If that happens point me to anyone who posted that as a prediction!
Sherri's kinda been her own worst enemy the last few years with her scheduling. I think we annually schedule too weak and some years struggled in the first half of conference when we play real teams. Not so bad now with the league being generally far weaker than it used to be. Sherri, on the other hand, seems to have gone too far, like a mid-major trying to build a NC SOS or something.
Outside of playing UConn (who obviously is a tad down this year) what is so daunting about their schedule? Remove that game and their schedule is not incredibly tougher than our own. They have played four decent teams outside the Big 12 in Drake, LSU, UConn and Missouri State. Two of those are ranked. They've lost to some really average teams along the way. It also seems that most of the complaints on here about our schedule have been because we don't schedule UConn and teams like that on a regular basis. Can't have your cake and eat it too.
I had fallen behind a bit in following the Twister Sisters and I just looked at the last box score. Did Maggie actually have 14 turnovers in the Okie State game? I couldn't believe that that wasn't a typo. What happened?
