Sic 'em Bears!

Colorado started out the second half on fire!!!

10-2 run

This @aggiembk-@UHCougarMBK game will be fun. Coogs controlled 90% of game in Houston until Wade Taylor IV went off on nation’s best defensive guard. Aggies are a better team now than in December & Coogs are not. Texas HS hoops on display here. A massive test of wills today.

Colorado tied it up
Then Marquette answered quickly: 54-52

Colorado 3 gives them their first lead:

55-54
14:20

I must have slept through the season. Colorado is an extremely talented team and I didn't know it. Looks like 3 nba caliber guys from the game I'm watching. Made a great run at this.

They went in an almost ncstate like run it seems

Purdue killing Utah State. Sure wish we were playing US instead of Clemson. Clemson going to be a tight game.

This team dominated Tcu? I'm getting more concerned by the hour for our remaining conference teams. I think the 3 remaining were the only teams any good but still.

Purdue sending a strong message

Zero 2nd rd upsets so far. Could be a very very star studded S16

There needs to be at least 3 Big12 teams in the Sweet Sixteen, otherwise the whole "Big12 is the best conference" is all bullcrap. I've heard that all year, and I just didn't see it. I feel we benefit from a boosted ranking based really on reputation (Baylor's and the Big12 as a whole) more than anything. That's gong to wane if we don't start delivering and getting to the second weekend more.

Well..we've been the best conference about 4 years straight and March Madness results attest to that.

A slight blip in the matrix in this tournament (if there even is a blip) doesn't change that.

I don't disagree but in the tournament it is not a best 2 out of 3 or anything like it. A weaker team only has to play the game of its life once to upset a higher seed. And one conference team winning or losing has no effect on any of the others in the tournament. Still some disparity in the women's game from the top to the bottom, but in the men's game even mid-major teams would not go winless in a conference like the Big XII playing against the top half of the conference. The Chaminades and Loyola Chicagos are out there. You just hope you don't run into one in the tournament. I'm not sure one and done situations are a truth measure of the strength of a conference. But I don't know of any that are.

Gonzaga v Purdue will be an interesting game.

Committee set this one up and cbssports headline writer threw it down: "Duke duking it out with No. 12 seed Dukes"

The ACC looks extremely good. Not just matchups either. Just playing really good basketball. Every single one of them looks significantly better than a Tech, BYU, Tcu.

Yes, having the winner in 2 out of the last 3 (more, had there not been a Covid year) and if Houston or Iowa State (or US!) pull it off this year, there's no question that we've had the best top teams.

But I'm referring to our conference this year as a whole, top to bottom. It's still the first weekend, and only 3 out of 8 teams are left? Potentially that could go down to ONE. That isn't good.

Let's go Coogs. Salvage something by beating aggy

A&M with some of the worst FT shooting I've ever seen. They are surprisingly more athletic than Houston. They knew Houston couldn't defend without fouling but their FT shooting is terrible

Real girl cheerleaders for TAMU? Huh?

Apparently they are led by the Yell Leaders who are men

They identify as male gender.

Crazy that every single Houston starter has at least 4 fouls

Hope the Coogs hang on...but they are not closing well

Hartness is one of the officials

If the aggys get this to overtime, UH is probably cooked.

Please don't let aggy steal this… Don't want to end the weekend with that cherry on top

Looks like a lucky break for the Aggies

Holy sheeeeeeet

What a shot!

You can't give a team that many shots late in a game.

Coogs are toast.

Gotta get in his face. Don't give him a clean look

F@cking aggy.

Losing LJ was a killer. They'll need to Shead and Sharp to be go-to scorers in the extra period, and that's not always their game.
