Mizzou Falls

Mizzou has just been a disappointment this year for anyone who wanted to try to be a fan. No big wins really they lost to their rival, KU, did not show up for the big 12 tournament and somehow managed to get a NCAA tournament birth only to get outted in the first round after having a demanding lead. 16-2 I believe it was or something close to it? How cold do you have to get and how bad does your team have to shoot? Do not even mention the rebounding because it was non-existant. Stupid Tigers looks like its gonna be another Jayhawk spring..... but thats pretty normal anymore...

The Calm Before the Storm

So in just about 2 more days the shiza will hit the fan and tv's will be wheeled into lunch rooms every where to watch the magic of march madness happen. I know in my school and a lot of others that during march they would watch the games in class! You have to love this season.

Coming up first you have the games between UAB and Clemson then USC vs. UVC to decide who makes will make up the last two spots in the tournament. I am betting its Clemson and USC that will make up the last seeds but I personnally do not think either team will make it out of the first round.

Hope those brackets are filled out because the deadline is closing in to get them in.

I wonder how much betting goes on in March...

KU Does It Again!

KU played Texas for the Big 12 Championship and yet again Kansas prevailed. It was a pretty good game but Texas just could not finish out in the end. Kansas won 85-73 after being outscored in the 2nd half. Hamilton of Texas posted 21 points and Taylor for Kansas lead the team with 20. "Supposedly" the only reason Kansas lost was because Robinson, I believe, had his mother pass away the night before they played Texas the first time and the team was up till 5 in the morning so they were not at their peak. But who is to say what is myth and fact. Either way KU won when it mattered.

KU THE BIG 12 CHAMPS

Big 12 Tourney Under Way

So the Big 12 Tournament started yesterday and we already have our casualties. The first games were all pretty close minus Oklahoma who dominated Baylor. Oklahoma St pulled off the win over Nebraska by 1, Colorado only beat ISU by 2, and Missouri only beat Texas Tech by 2!!! The only underdog to really win, however, was Oklahoma who was ranked a 10 seed and Baylor a 7. Technically, Okie St. was an upset as well but not a very big one as they were the 9 vs 8 game.

Well 4 down already and we've got 4 more tonight as we proceed into round 2 of the Big 12 tourney. We have Kansas vs. Okie State, KState vs. Colorado, Oklahoma vs Texas, and wrapping up the night we have Texas A&M vs. Missouri. These all look like they could be very good games and I really cannot say that I favor anyone team over their opponent.

If I had to make a prediction I would say Okie State wins mainly because I think Kansas throws this tourney every year to focus on the NCAA tourney. KState will win due to the way they are playing right now. Texas wins for obvious reasons I feel and A&M outs Missouri because MU has been playing horribly as of late. Those are my predictions and I am sticking to them. Out.

KANSAS OUTS MIZZOU

To no ones surprise, I'm sure, Kansas beat MU. The #2 team in the nation should beat the #22 team in the nation BUT luckily it was a pretty good game.

Missouri actually had the lead over KU early on in the first half and KU got up about 14 points at one moment but if you didnt see the score it got close. Only a 4 point split to decide this one folks. 70-66 the final.

How about the coverage mess up though eh? People in Columbia and Kansas City got cut out of the last 3-4 mins because cbs switched coverage to the Michigan vs. Michigan St game. I guess they have a good rivalry but KU vs MU switched!? Two ranked teams switched?! Technical difficulties my behind. Fail CBS!

KSTATE ON A ROLL!!

KState ended up winning 75-70 upsetting Texas and continuing their run towards the NCAA Tournament. McGruder had 22 and Pullenhad 20 combining for over a third of the teams points. With their win last night they boosted themselves up to probably a 4 seed for the Big 12 tourney and probably securing their seed over Missouri, who is struggling.

With KState win they also moved KU up to number in the Big 12 but Texas is still 2. Texas A&M holds 3rd and will most likely stay their unless they pull off the upset against KU which is not impossible by any means.

KState has Iowa State on Friday and a win there could only help them out going into the Big 12 tourney.
