The only person that Chuck Norris fears is John Wall.

UK will go from NIT to National Champs this year.

Too bad they will have to vacate the wins next year.  ;D (lol)

 

[shortyjock89]

Now now, at least it will only be one year for UK, and not all the years like USC now that ole Petey got outta town.

But for real, I didn't see Kansas getting beat this early and I really think that UK could win it all.

How about those Cats!? The Big 12 Championship's running through Manhattan this season!

That was one UGLY game, glad they pulled it off, but they are going to have to play much better than they did last night to stay in the top 10.

my question is how long does Frank Martin stay at K State,if he continues to do well ,he will be a hot commodity.same can be said about  the Wichita State coach, Rusty

A couple times last night I thought Martin was going to strangle one of his players. That guy is a little too intense for me. Clemente is a player I either really liked or thought he was going to lose it for K State. He is really good in transition but took some really bad shots in their half court sets. KState is a dangerous team but I don't see them being a threat to get to Indy in April. If those 2 teams play 10 times I think Texas wins 7 or 8.

UK all the way - got to stay with my conference!

 

[the angus111]

Sqeek, I think if they get hot ,they can make some noise.I think sweet16 is possible.I love intense coaches,they pass that on to players that have a passion for their sport,excluding Adam James,thats beating a dead horse.why all of a sudden ,is it the changing times that coaches cant show passion.are we becoming wimps?rusty

The Big 12 is tough this year.  I see lots of upsets in the making; even the bad teams are capable of knocking off a Texas, KU or K-State.  I only wish more were on TV.

Yeah, I don't even see KU coming out scathed, especially having to play UT in Austin.

K-state got lucky with that win but it wont matter KU or Texas will win big 12 and be 1 seeds in the NCAA Kentucky don't look to bad right now either but they have a weak conference and cant ease up and start playing soft. I think Syracuse  will be a shocker to some people. Those are the teams I think will be final four.

 

[the angus111]

jallen you might be right,but this is like football,ANY TEAM ,ANY GIVEN TIME. big 12 will be super tough.I think Baylor,A&M,K STATE, and if the moon is right OSU can give the big 2 all they want.Rusty

 

[dutch pride]

Just have got to put a plug in for my Spartans. Only 3 losses so far, @Texas, @ NC and Florida at neutral site. I know Florida and NC have slipped some but still good teams. With Purdue with 2 losses already in Big 10, I looks like Spartans have a good shot of winning the big 10 again this year. Hoping for at least a 2 seed in the tournament. Should be able to make a deep run into the Field again this year.

K-State's gonna beat KU at home but probably not on the road. If they win some on the road they have a real shot at the Big 12. KU is beatable, Texas is better. Baylor is another contender but they lost on the road to Colorado. Missouri is very good at home, I could see them beating KU there. It's gonna be fun.

 

[furinsilex]

You all are leaving out the tigers in the big 12 talk... they may not be just that team that wins a ton of games but they can play with anybody anynight.  The problem is we are not consistent enough.  But as for my pick i think syracuse will be tuff come tournament time.  Final four KU, Syracuse, Kentucky and not sure to the #4 yet i think another big east team will slip in but texas is tuff

i have to throw out some love for the big ten here. osu should compete with michigan state for the big ten title this year. they already beat purdue in mackey arena and it seems like you can only win home conference games in the big ten. evan turner is something special, i said look out for him two years ago when he was a freshman. the things he does to attract attention and free up everyone else on the floor is what helps ohio state so much.
