Baylor was only a 2.5 point favorite BTW. Regardless, my point still stands that just about anytime we've had some spotlight, we've gone and s#!t the bed. And let's not forget the officiating angle--that official was dismissed for a history of poor calls and negative behavior/antics on the court. Can't remember his name...but he was a significant factor. I mean, FFS, he ejected Tim Miles because he was trying to alert them that the timekeeper didn't do their job. Quote Link to comment

I also watched Nebraska lose to Kansas. 1 minute ago, The Murphinator said: Oklahoma is overrated, there is no way they are a 4 or 5 seed. Teams are starting to figure out how to slow down and disrupt Trae Young. If Oklahoma doesn't have Trae Young they are not a tournament team. If Nebraska doesn't have James Palmer Jr., they are not a tournament team, either. 1 Quote Link to comment

I meant that Oklahoma has lost 7 of there last 9 games because Trae Young hasn't been as good in that stretch. Oklahoma is still a tournament team, but they should be a 6 or 7 seed and not a 4 or 5.

But both them and TCU are solidly in the tournament, barring a massive collapse in the last 3 weeks. Instead of their resumes, fans need to be focusing on teams like USC, UCLA, Texas, Syracuse and Virginia Tech. Quote Link to comment

BIG ERN Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I am acknowledging that the B10 is not a good conference this year. I was unaware saying we are the 4th best B10 and 3rd best B12 team was 'silly'? Quote Link to comment

I was there with co-workers at the time and a few were former creighton basketball players. Got into an argument with one because he was trashing Miles. Creighton played in the game after that.

If they had lost to West Virginia but beaten St. John's, it would currently be 39th. If they had beaten West Virginia but lost to Missouri, it would currently be 39th. If they had beaten West Virginia and Missouri, it would currently be 22nd. So yeah, another win over a team with a pulse in that tournament could have really helped.
