Big 12 Tournament: Day Two - Evening Session

in Kansas Jayhawk Basketball
Email
PrintJust like yesterday, I'm running behind on the previews, so those will be edited in later. How late depends on how long it takes for me to get through the Kansas game.
Yes, I know we lost. Yes, I'm pissed off.
But, it isn't all bad. At least, it can't be. I'm not giving up hope just yet. And you shouldn't either.
But now is neither the time nor place. No, now is the time to watch some more basketball to drown away your sorrows. At least, that's all I can do, being underage. For you, there might be more alternatives. But even provided those other avenues to travel, I hope that you at least make a stop here, at RCT.
This is your OGT home for the two evening session games, Oklahoma-Oklahoma State (should be a dandy) and Missouri-Texas Tech (can the Red Raiders keep up the hot streak?
After all, they say misery loves company. And I'll be here. And I'm miserable.
So, join me.
4,000?

Fortunately,
I had to quite watching at halftime & get to work. It doesn’t hurt so much when it’s on the radio. Plus, I didn’t see this as so shocking. Baylor has talent, they’ve just been half-ass all year. We let them get open 3’s early, which buried us early and made it an uphill day.

Agreed.
They have the talent, easily, to be an NCAA Tournament team.
And, certainly, there are some positives to it. Particularly for the optimists. We’ll get into those later, when on basketball is being played.
I’ve got Okie State, just for the record.
OU's gonna win the whole thing.
Big 12, that is.

Is there really any point in watching anything right now?
Regardless, I’m with ya, my man, SlowDance.

The more CBB I watch,
the easier the pain is.
Of course, I’ve yet to actually watch the game, so it doesn’t hurt as bad.
It’s just a score on ESPN, right now.
It's ugly.
Damned ugly. I’d recommend not watching it.

Cole seemed to be laboring up & down the court.
He’s been wearing a boot for a month, rest is probably good. Plus, a large part of our success this year is Sherron being injury free, and I don’t think him playing 115 minutes in OKC would have been good. Staying positive. :D

Agreed, and agreed.
But, still… It’s Baylor.
Forgive me if I’m too negative in here for you guys tonight. Just kick me out if you get sick of it.

Yeah, he doesn't suck.
And, like I said, I didn’t watch the game.
But his box score line surprised me absolutely zero, after I knew we lost.
I just knew he jacked off far too many shots for his own good.
Don't get your hopes up.
It’s more of a depressed lull.

Although everyone seems to be quite perturbed, for obvious reasons.
I just hope that no Missouri or K-State fan comes on here looking for trouble. We might all unleash on them as a community.
As long as there are no derogatory remarks.

And no cussing someone out. That’s just not tolerated.
But yeah, it’s cool if we blow off a little steam.

Arizona lost earlier.
An Arizona-Texas A&M comparison should be fascinating.
I’ll go out on a limb and say one gets in, one doesn’t. Which one, though, and your guess is as good as mine.
Arizona keeps getting put in...
regardless because they have that stupid streak.

yeah...so have I...
the media acts like we were playing for a 1 and at worse a 2 and now we will tragically drop to a 3…
I was always anticipating a 3 so if that happens I’ll feel good. I was thinking today would put us on the brink of a 4.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Interesing you mention it.
I sent a quick email to Andy Glockner, the guy who used to do ESPN’s Bubble Watch, and now runs it over at SI.com.
Just curious as to our seeding possibilities. And I fully plan on doing a complete post on the topic sometime tomorrow night/Saturday.
But here was his quick response:
Answering this quickly and in the vacuum of not knowing what will happen in the next three days, I’d say that keeping a 3 is possible, and I’d be really surprised if they were lower than a 4. Clemson’s loss today helps with that. I can’t see Gonzaga passing Kansas, either, so it’s hard to find a way to get KU to a 5.
Dude is one of my favorite MSM writers, period. Check out his Bubble Watch if you don’t. It’s awesome stuff.
All positive signs, in my mind.
Again, this will be part of my post, but here is a quick list of teams we should be rooting against if you want to stay a 3 (which I think is vital, staying away from the 1-seeds until the Elite Eight):
Washington
Wake Forest
Villanova
Florida State
Xavier (but…)
UCLA (probably not, but maybe)
Missouri (same as UCLA)
Those are the current 3/4 seeds, from what I’ve seen. If Syracuse or Illinois wins their conference tournaments, then they might pass us. I don’t think so, though.
Speaking of Blake.
Honestly, I’m probably most disappointed about this whole mess because we still never get to face Blake. Although, seeing at how Sexy Dexy basically worked Aldrich last Saturday, I think we could all fill in the blanks.
WTF?
KC had a hot chick near him and was on HERE? Jesus dude. Why don’t you just show her your stash of Fantasy Baseball mags while you’re at it.

Apparently, no one wants to talk
basketball. I ask MSM writers questions on email, and I pose some very intriguing discussion-starters, and it’s just silence.
Yet, KC’s girl situation draws like a hundred replies.
I suppose, though, that’s all you want to talk about when you’re depressed.
Sorry, man.
I got the game on. Does that count?

i read the email reply and I completely agree with the guy…we’re teetering between a 3 or 4 depending on what happens…no way for a 5

Just sucks we get either UNC, Pitt, UConn or maybe OU in the Sweet 16.

That's why I really, really hope we get a 3.
We’re just as good as any of the 2s, I think.
The top three teams (UNC, Pitt, UCONN), I don’t think so.
I'd take UNC or OU out of that group...
but i hate our chances against Pitt or Uconn and honestly with revenge factoring on the minds of UNC I hate that one too

not really because Subway is awful about

great point, it's always a turnoff when i get a random chunk of black olives in my sub
i’d imagine a lot of people would feel similar about finding a cold uncooked turd-looking mushroom piled in with their tuna melt or some shit
what if it was like those really good...
mushrooms that they make sandwiches with…portabella!!!!
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
if it was portabella, i'd be fine with it cuz that would be great on a steak sub...
but portabella’s are ridiculously expensive, and that’s something they wouldn’t dare risk affording in this economy, especially when they’d end up throwin half of em out at the end of the day anyways
well it's settled then...
once Labba and Citi are further solvent and the economy recovers Subway should add Portabella mushrooms to the menu

SCORE UPDATE
Maryland tied up with NC State at halftime. Maryland probably has to make a run to the ACC Finals to make a legitimate argument, but a loss to the Wolfpack might not get them into the NIT. Ouch.
West Virginia hanging tight with Pitt.
Washington just beat Stanford.
Clemson got taken down by Georgia Tech, which is good news. They could have jumped us, but now, they’re definitely below.
Memphis only up 2 against Tulsa. A loss by the Tigers sends them down the seed line, but also takes away a bubble slot.
God, I wish Memphis would lose.

if you eat them w/PB & J...
do you like to wash it down with a big glass of milk…or will that cause issues???

uhhh...not sure anymore explanation is needed...
if you’re eating shit mushrooms PB&J and milk I think there are going to be issues ranging from gastro intestinal to mental instability

they grow from cow shit… and Denver, milk would be a terrible choice, since technically the effect you end up feeling is the result of food poisoning

So in summary....
we will not be having mushrooms available at Subway going forward unless they are either portabella grilled w/veggies or the kind that grow on cowshit. Furthermore we will be removing spinach and pickles from the menu…adding peanut butter and jelly subs but removing milk from the menu as well.
The ultimate sub will consist of the cowshit mushrooms w/PB&J and will only be available when Phillips 66 and the Big 12 broadcast team pull their heads out of their asses.

Coaches bitched about the slip we run, and how we were technically moving, so everyone freaked out and made it a point of emphasis.

Two interesting little notes from Baylor's upset over us.
1) It’s our first EVER loss in our first game of the Big 12 Tournament. That’s just freaking ridiculous.
2) Baylor is the first 9 seed to make it to the semis. Congrats, Bears.
Really
They could rename the conference “Kansas and Co.” and I’d be fine with it.

if OU Loses odds are that MU wins the tourney since no team that has had to play 4 games has ever won it…I think only 1 had made the final

I could talk to you for an hour
about Rick Pitino and the city of Lexington and Kentucky fans, and you still wouldn’t entirely understand.
It’s crazy.
I lived there for three years, and it’s ridiculous how different people think of him. Some, about half I’d say, still love the guy, and would do anything to get him back. Some even actively root for Louisville to win every game, just for Pitino.
The other half, or so, hate the man irrationally. Like, really irrationally. They watch Louisville games just to actively root against the Cards, because they hate Pitino. They call him a traitor and all related names, and would probably never accept him back.
It’s crazy.
So, I don’t know if it would ever happen.
kinda OT
but there was an article on espn.com the other day about this kentucky high school team that’s from a town of like 400 people, and they’re ranked like 6th in the NATION… kentucky is one of only like 3 states in the country that doesn’t split their state championships into different divisions, so if they were to win it it would be like the real-life hoosiers (even though that movie was technically based on a real-life team)
Kentucky still doesn't have classifications?
I remember when Indiana finally split up their schools not long ago.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
nope, so this team would be going up against all these "big city" schools from like louisville and lexington
i guess this same small school team made it to the state quarterfinals last year and returned their top 4 scorers, so they’re definitely expecting to win it all this year
Yeah, Kentucky does High School Bball right.
Those were some of the best games ever; the Sweet Sixteen in Rupp Arena.
Didn’t read the article, but similar stuff has happened before.
You have this mostly black team from inner-city Louisville with bundles of athleticism, then a team full of Eastern Kentucky coal miner’s kids, none of whom are over 6’2".
Then, the Eastern Kentucky team comes out and whoops their ass.
They do HSBB right.
honestly,
it’s tough to fuck up high school basketball during this time of the year. Almost as good college.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Yeah, but Kentucky is just in a whole nother league.
I’d imagine Indiana would be similar.
There are like 12,000 people for some of the games. Say what you will about the irrationallity of Kentucky fans (and they are, just see the Rick Pitino piece above), but they know and love their basketball.
It’s cool.
Of course.
Two craziest states in the union for bball are Indiana and Kentucky. And both of their programs are in the dumps right now.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
those kentucky teams in the mid-90's were consistently stacked
their 7th and 8th man could start for every other team in the top 25
yes, he could have won a couple more championships:
and Tubby won 1 with Pitino’s players.

Moses never, ever played during the non-con. Turns out, I’m pretty sure, he wasn’t playing because Ford didn’t like his attitude, and in late December I heard somewhere that Ford asked him to transfer. But he said that if he turned his attitude around, then he could stick around.

Agreed completely.

I always stayed the whole weekend and fortunately KU only lost in the first round once back when it was still the Big 8…but a lot of people bail in a hurry and it’s easy to get tickets if you just wait outside and find the losing teams fans

Okay, question guys.
I know this is where my lack of basketball knowledge comes into play, but why wouldn’t Oklahoma St. foul on Oklahoma’s last trip down the floor? They would force Oklahoma to make two FTs, and even if they did, they would have had 25 seconds or so to get back down and win it.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
because their ft% is way higher than
field goal percentage. You hope for a stop.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Exactly.
Unless someone just can’t hit the freebies to save their life, it’s more likely they miss a FG than miss two FT’s.
You mean

not to mention,
that’s basically conceding a tie game for nothing, and during those last 25 seconds you still could have the misfortune of turning the ball over… as the bulls did when they had eleven ticks to win it monday night against miami… and sure enough they turned it over and wade raced down to drill a one-handed running 3 from the top of the key
Okay
That’s what I was wondering. I mean, I wasn’t saying they should do that, just wondering why it was common thought for them to try to get the stop. Thanks.

I’d think Missouri would be thrilled and focused as hell. Tech is emotionally and physically worn out — they’re not deep. And, consequently, Missouri is three neutral court games from from getting a 2 seed….
They might well lose…but every team from here on will be FAR more tired than the deep Tigers….
exactly...
If I’m Missouri I’m feeling pretty good right now…there style will give them an edge w/all these other teams that are an extra day in already.
My money is on MU to win this thing.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I'll take the Cowboys.
LOVE the way they are playing right now.
I’m glad they’re in the Big 12, too, so we can’t face them until the Elite Eight. Depending on the matchups, my preseason and pre-conference season confidence in them looks to finally being affirmed. They are playing awesomely, right now.
They could make a deep run, if things break right.
I would think that will be a virtual home game for them too....
but I think provided MU get’s past tonight, which I expect they will, I think they win the thing.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Plus, the revenge factor.
They almost beat them earlier, and feel like they should have, so yeah.
I’ll take them.
that would be a travesty if Missou ends up with a 2-seed
but just as equally hilarious if they were to lose their first game
I think MU is a 3 seed at best

would they get any consideration for a 2? i say no way… but the committee might look past that and just note the trophy they won and their inflated record and do something crazy… i mean right now the #2 seeds are teams like duke, michigan state, wake… i wouldn’t put missou in the same BREATH as any of those 3

I don’t think Missouri has to jump Kansas to be a 2 seed…if Missouri wins the tournament they’d be 28-6 and coming off two victories over Top 30 RPI teams (OKST and Texas)…how could they not be a 2 seed? I think if Missouri wins MU and KU are both 2 seeds and Oklahoma is a 3 seed….if Missouri loses than OK and KU are 2 seeds…and Missouri a 4

no way we get a 2 now and I’m not sure MU can jump into that spot but it’s not out of the question. I think it probably makes some sense to us and other teams in the Big12 but not everywhere
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I'm a little under the weather so I don't have the state of mind to be logical but...
my gut tells me
OU – 2
KU 3-4
MU 3-4 (depending on how they wrap up)
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
HOW CAN OU BE A 2 SEED
ahead of MU and KU. They’re 2 -4 in there last 6 (TX, KU, MU, OKST). That’d be absurd.
it's just going to happen...maybe a 3...
but no way KU get’s a 2 and MU winning it makes them a possibility but I just don’t know.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
2 of those
will immediately be wiped away because Griffin was out, the Mizou loss is legit, and the OK St loss is the dreaded “3 times in the same season”, especially against one of their biggest rivals.

Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
man, all i keep thinkin about is how OU has to just be KICKING themselves right now
especially with Pitt losing, they had a VERY good chance at making an argument for a one-seed if they woulda won this tournament…
So it wouldn't appear that either...
OU or Pitt losing has become a bigger story than us
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
gotta give the AP some time to make their recap articles and then ESPN has to figure out how they wanna spin it
and get video clips of their studio guys “breaking it down” it’ll take about fifteen more minutes i say
Just wait
’til SportsCenter gets its hands on these scores. The East Coast bias will make Pitt losing the biggest travesty ever.

You know
It really bugs me that Pitt is such a lock for a number 1 seed. They didn’t win their conference in the regular season and they lost their first game in their conference tournament. I know they’re good and beat UConn, but what exactly makes them a better candidate for a 1 seed than say…Louisville?
Smarter basketball people than I, please explain.

RockChalk??? I'll defer to you
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I'm way late, I know, but here's what I would say.
Simply put, they have a better resume. Better wins.
For one, they beat UCONN twice. For two, they played a much, much tougher Big East schedule than Looeyville. So, they get more credit for that, too.
Yeah
I hadn’t looked at schedules/resumes at all. Was shooting strictly from a perspective without delving into details. Sometimes simpler is, well, simpler.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
by A.J. Haefele on Mar 12, 2009 9:34 PM CDT up reply actions
yea i can definitely see your argument, but
if you’ve seen them play much, you’ll agree that when they’re at their best, there’s nobody in the country that can hang with them… i mean they beat UConn twice, for example. another thing is, they’re only NOT at their best when Dejuan Blair is in foul trouble… including tonight, he fouled out in 3 of their 4 losses. they can also play any style, have a great PG running the show with Fields, and play great defense. they also have ridiculously mature bodies for this level of basketball… as i said the other day, these guys should probably be tested for the juice.
combine that with their good coaching, and the fact that the rest of the field really lacks a dominant team, and it just seems like there’s really nobody they shouldn’t be able to beat. on paper, it’s almost a no-brainer.
what he said,
plus with OU losing, L’ville and Pitt may both get #1 seeds.
I just got back from your mom's basement.
Right
But the problem that I’ve had with Pitt all season is that IN THEORY and WHEN THEY’RE PLAYING AT THEIR BEST is when they are that kind of team. It feels like half the time I watch them, they aren’t that team. It’s a team that seems to be great in theory, but only great half the time when they play. I guess to me it seems people have already inked them in for a number 1 seed without even considering the possibility that maybe we’ve overblown them.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
by A.J. Haefele on Mar 12, 2009 9:01 PM CDT up reply actions
i dunno man, they're 9-3 against teams that will definitely be in the tourney this year
including the 2x W’s over UConn, which might be their biggest resume-booster. all of their losses were road games… i dunno, maybe they no longer are deserving of a no. one seed after tonight, but i’m sure they’ll still get it, like you said.
i’ve seen all the major teams play this year, and if we had like, a draft, where we all got to pick teams for the tourney and i had the first pick, i wouldn’t even have to think about it, it would be Pitt.

that said what’s your best hope in terms of seeding
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
The way I see it...
…by not losing to Tech tonight, we locked up a No. 4.
If we win the Big XII tourney, we’ve got a shot at a No. 3, but an outside shot, especially since we won’t go through any “elite” teams.
Just my view; probably best to ask The Boy over at RMN. He’s good with that kind of stuff.

I think OU’s a 2 now…
MU is 3-4…and…
KU is 3-4

with all that happened today we might just hold onto the 3. As frustrating as our Tech game and this one were…we were in the discussion for a 2 going into the weekend so I’m not sure we drop down to a 4. We’ll see though…Sunday should be fun
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Exactly.
It’s not like you got beat by DePaul. Baylor is by no means a “legit” team, but they’re not lunch meat.

i'm back
just got home when i saw the live inbounds to devendorf… that shot being called off looks like it’s gonna be the stomach punch that keeps UConn well in the running for a top seed
It was a good call, but that's gotta suck.
Especially because it was SOOO close. If it was obvious, you’re good. But when it’s that close, it’s gotta be hard as hell to live with.
I can’t stand Boeheim, and I still feel really really bad.
I hate Devendorf...
I’m glad that didn’t count, especially after he does the old, jump on the scorers table and look at me!!
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Deven "I hit women" Dorf
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Just posted something like that over at RMN.
I like Boeheim, but Devendorf can eat me.
You hit a girl, you go to jail. Period.
My 2009 New Years Resolution: Quit feeding the trolls.
yep...pretty BS that he's on the team...
and honestly I was pretty disgusted that Boeheim was so quick to contest the suspension…I guess maybe it was a big mistake but just doesn’t seem like you get taken to Jail for hitting a woman by mistake
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
Disagree.
It’s terrible what he did, but people get away with a lot worse and stay on the team.
He didn’t deserve to be suspended for the rest of the year. He got a suspension, and moved on.
I mean, Sherron didn’t get suspended even a game for supposedly having fun in an elevator. Not that they are comparable, at all, but things tend to ge toverlooked.
And IIRC, the girl backed off her story. Maybe I’m wrong, though.
and I could be wrong too...
just seems like it was his 2nd or 3rd offense of some sort and that’s why the year suspension came into play. I suppose it should be an innocent until proven guilty thing but w/multiple offenses I think your benefit of the doubt diminishes
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
not all directly related to the same offense but...
I’m fairly confident he had run ins at other junctures of his career
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
yep looks like...
he was already on probabtion for “harming a fellow student” the year prior…so while it may not have been a woman that time…he seems to have a pattern of violence.
The reason cited for the year suspension was that he showed “little regard for his probationary terms”
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
That's what got a lot of people ticked off:
He was supposedly already on probation when this happened. I certainly don’t know, but he acts like such a punk on the court, public opinion was against him. Plus, a student composed disciplinary court ruled against him, and was overruled.

and Tech over A&M last night was a good one…
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
It went 2 OT.
Ohio Valley Championship, last Saturday.
Morehead took the lead at the end of regulation with a sick alley-oop, then Peay ran down and scored to tie it off of a loose ball. Then, at the end of first OT, Morehead scored at the end to tie it up and send it into second OT. Then, at the end of second OT, with the score tied, Morehead had the ball and lost it. It trickled away, and some random guy for Morehead only in there because Morehead had a guy foul out picked it up and knocked it down with 1 second left.
It was his first two points of the entire game.
wow, that does sound pretty incredible

Oh, you didn't see that?
So, tie game at the end of regulation, 1.1 seconds left.
Syracuse chucks it the length of the court, and it goes in Devendorf’s hands. He fires it up, and swishes the shot. Game over. Syracuse wins.
When they went back to the monitor to check, the ball was touching his fingertips with 0.0. If he would have gotten it off a second earlier, game would have been over at like 8:15.
Since then, it’s just been ridiculousness.
WOW.
I’m pissed I missed all this.

Dangit.
He almost made it.
I’m torn at this point between cheering for Syracuse and simply cheering for longevity.
I think I’m favoring the extend-the-game-as-long-as-possible strategy.
The Big East:
Where missed layups camoflauged as “great fundamental, defensive basketball” happens.
My 2009 New Years Resolution: Quit feeding the trolls.
No way.
I want another 2 or 3 OTs so we can see the 7th OT box score say 1-0
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
Yeah, you're probably right.
And eventually, the teams are going to run out of players.
And the winner automatically loses tomorrow, no matter what.
hahaa i just got 2 random texts from dudes i only talk to a few times a year askin me if i was watchin this game
i think that is the true litmus test of a great game… when people just start comin outta the woodwork to make sure they’re not the only ones witnessing it
Is this a joke??

No.

UNM was squarely on the bubble, probably ‘IN’. They lose here, though, and they are 100% out.
And they look to be well on their way to losing, 1:15 left in the game.

RCT record for a single thread, I'm sure.
Somebody is gonna have to link this in there website line of their profile to memorialize it. I got the highjacked OGT on mine…
"I log on to RCT after school, and I see the 228 comments on this thread. I actually immediately panicked, because knowing KC, I figured some other fan from another school (most likely Mizzou) came over and said something stupid. Then, KC freaked out at him, and said something stupid (no offense, KC, but this really wouldn’t be that extraordinary for you to pull off) and then there was mass hysteria. I would have to ban people, and warn people, and it’d be mass chaos." - SlowDance

We went from
likely the lead-in of SC to a short 30 second, 5 highlight clip. Thanks to OU, Pitt. and the 6OT game.
The good times keep rollin’ for us. Even the terrible things that happen to us turn out not quite so bad.

Holy hell.
Re-reading this thread was insanity. I think “outsiders” would think we were all on drugs.
I am Jack's unbridled optimism.
It took me about 1/2 way through the thread to realize that this
was from last night….wow….time to go to bed…..I don’t need more alcohol

What's the over-under on the time KC & Esteban wake up today?
About 3 in the afternoon?

Awesome.
That’s hilarious.
The awesome-ness of it all overshadows the terrible loss of the epic 1111 comment count.
