Looks like 6-4 to me if tossups given to the B12. I give WVU and Ku the best chances of winning in my B12 winning selections.

Tennessee at Kansas (4-2)
- KU leads the series 3-1, including an 87-81 OT win in the Preseason NIT championship game last season. Both were 2019 NCAA Tournament teams.

Surly thoughts on the brawl the other night?

I wrote this in the brawl thread.

If charged, I'd have given season suspensions to both Love and DeSousa. 3 games to anyone who threw a fist. And 1 game to anyone else coming off the bench and entering the fight scene. The B12 nor either program can whine, complain or rationalize anymore if this happens again because they should have given far more severe penalties for this nonsense. This was a disgusting display and that applies to K-State's administration of it as well.

Furthermore, the fight was not the result of a steal or block that followed, both of which were within the rules of play. It was the result of DeSousa standing over Gordon in some sort of overlord display that's not new to Ku basketball remembering as I do Thomas Robinson doing the exact same thing to K-State's Thomas Gipson. Self's program is now under internal pressure (one prominent woman, I might add) for this and many more outside-the-lines behaviors. Good for Ku supporters who are starting to question what's going on within Self's program.

For all the talk about Tech having a great home environment, it’s garbage with the team ranked in top 20 down by ~8 to Kentucky with 10 minutes left.

It's a good one now. Tied with a minute to go.

Richards and Hagans too much for Tech. Gritty road win for Ky.
