This is an NCAA tournament team


this isn't football so I expect the committee to recognize that

Conference makes more money if we get in so for once expect allies.

Definitely above OSU, UT and OU now. That's a nice buffer.

Conference would have made more money if BU was in the FF in Football back in when.... but football is just different.... our conference brethren didn't want us to be legitimized... and we've seen the result

He's more than the X Factor. He's the the A-Z factor. Singlehandedly got us both wins last NCAA.

Announcers are dogging Young's teammates like they're trash. They don't force him to take 4 30 footers every night. They don't force him to throw the ball at their feet or out of bounds. Ever seen Trae Young take a charge? Hell no.

How deflating is it for a post guy to work hard to establish position for the pg to jack up long threes?




So true.

Thank GOD that the Sooners were absolutely horrible tonight! I would love to know exactly how many fouls Higgins called on Baylor vs Oklahoma. The Big 12 really needs to get rid of him.

Way to go on the Big win tonight!!!! We may not make it far in the tourney, but I sure loved watching the pure heart they played with tonight.

That was a heckuva lot of fun.

Never take it for granted when you roll OU. Relish.
