It makes sense why Self went so hard after Dickinson. Without Dickinson, this KU team is literally a 10-12 loss team.

WVU leading 78-72

5:18 to go

WVU appeared to have them on the ropes up 80-75 and with the ball, but turned it over and now vintage KU basketball -- two consecutive scores and now an 80-79 game.

And there it is. You knew it was coming.

KU takes the lead 81-80 with 2:41 to go.

WVU takes the lead! Should have been a FT for and 1 but refs choked on the whistle.

WVU 82-81

39 seconds to go


Could the Big 12 have 5 or 6 teams that are 3-2?

WVU up 85-81

32 seconds to go

McCullar has been cluth.

87-85 WVU leads

11.9 seconds to go.

WVU ball

WVU WINS!!!!!

Kansas falls to 3-2 with us, OU, Iowa St., and Houston.

BYU up 13-3 early over Tech

If BYU wins, there will be at least 7 teams with 3-2 records. Everyone in the conference will be 3-2 or 2-3, with the lone holdout Ok State who is 0-4 and playing K State now. K State wins and it would be the only team with 4 wins.

Usually is wherever he plays

Life in the big 12 on the road

KU's two road losses:

UCF
WVU

Two teams that we're near the bottom of the conference now they're firmly in the middle of the pack. I would not be too surprised if we see changes like this every week.

Big 12

Yep. KU still has to go to:

Iowa St.
Kansas St.
Tech
OU
Baylor
Houston

At least we get houston in Waco. That's something we can be grateful for. I suspect our remaining schedule is still the toughest in the country.

Tech is striking back at the Mormons!

I'm almost to go they were down by 14. Now it's only 9.

And just like that, BYU gets two 3's

BYU 48
Tech 32
Halftime

It's Art Briles's offense on the hardwood!!! LOL

Another run by Tech (7-0) results in this:

BYU 55
Tech 53

They lost a 16 point lead in 7 minutes!

The Big 12

BYU 62
Tech 60
7:43

Steal & bucket and it's a tie ballgame!

Now Tech has the lead.

Down goes the evil empire

BYU is perplexing. They are one of the best first half teams in the country. Then inevitably in every game they go through a funk in the 2nd half and then falter, sometimes still able to hang on and win and other times lose.

Tech up 69-66

Road wins are really freaking hard to come by in this league. We're far from the only team struggling to close them out.

Good observation. I think that is happening every one of their games I watched.

Yep. I called UCF and WVU gimmes earlier this season. I was wrong.

I also thought that a couple weeks ago. Clearly it's anyone's for the taking

So looking like Texas Tech will take over sole 1st place in the Big 12 (pending outcome of K State - Ok State game).

And speaking of that game

Ok State 35
K State 31

HALF

This might be Tech's year.
Our last game of the regular season is in Lubbock.

Tech 79
BYU 75
52.7

So strange. I don't think Tech looks very good but I guess. This is a very strange year. I don't see very many top end talents in the league this year but everyone seems decent when playing at home.

Looks like the teams with more 22 and 23 yr olds will win, especially at home. Tcu, Iowa st, Houston all look tough but again none have special pro level talent but they have a ton of experience and yrs in the system.

Iowa St has a few high upside guys. Ku and Bu are struggling with roster construction. Weird year.
