Texas leads 11 to 8 at the first break

Did the conference lose some teams?

... Down to 7 now.

... Down to 7 now.

Hopefully that means Baylor finally got kicked out!

Did you watch this year? It was the Big7 + 3 bye teams.

 

[cycophagus]

Texas got to the title game on basically a forfeit . You see that in wrestling now and then, but its pretty rare for BB.

Touche.

Texas closes out the first half with a 43-33 lead. Maybe that extra day's rest is paying a dividend today.

I actually didn't know until I looked it up, but the Big 7 became the Big 8 with the addition of Oklahoma State (or A&M as it was called before that). Here is an old tournament cover from back in the day. I actually attended a Big 8 pre-season tournament in K.C. in the early 70s. Wonder why they did away with those?

 

[cycophagus]

Okie State tightens it up, down by 4 with 11:26 remaining.

 

[Cyclonick182]

Watching really good teams after only watching the Clones this year is almost a surreal experience.

Because the postseason tournament was created. No reason to have both, and have teams playing each other up to 4 times.

Pretty sure there were both for a while.

 

[theshadow]

Pretty sure there were both for a while.

The first postseason tournament was March 1977. The last holiday tournament was Dec. 1978.

The holiday tournament was discontinued because of the existence of the postseason tournament.

The postseason tournament also had the first round played at the higher seed through 1985. Only the semifinalists made it to Kemper, until they expanded it in 1986 and brought all 8 teams to KC.

 

[Cyched]

OSU will be in it until the end, but Texas just flat out playing better

 

[Neptune78]

Texas has controlled Anderson tonight. Don't know if Cade will be enough down the stretch. Montcrief now out.

 

[cyclo120]

Always have liked Shaka, happy for him and some good stories on his team Jones being the obvious.

 

[NWICY]

Well that was disappointing.

Oh man! Thumbnail sketches? That must have been an exciting time!
