Mizzou getting taken to the woodshed... KU 45 Mizzou 19 at the half. Maybe Mizzou isn't as good as I thought.
That works too. I don't think it makes the game any easier in Columbia. I still expect MU to play us tough and try to come after us with full court pressure. If we come to play we will handle it fine. They still will be dangerous. It is apparent though that MU is NOT a top 15 caliber team. They are an athletic team that can take advantage of opponent mistakes with their system and win big if you can't respond, especially at home. If they don't get at least 20 points from transition though then they don't win.
Goodbye, last-chance-at-share-of-Big-12-regular-season-title WHICH NormanPride reminds me doesn't matter BECAUSE the only way we get a solid seeding is through the Big 12 Tourney Championship and not the Regular Season THEREFORE I am looking forward to the revenge game.
How great would it be for KU to beat us in the conference tourney and then we come back and beat them in the NCAA finals. Not that I ever want to see OU lose (except to my frogs), but it would be a little bit of justice. JMHO
Badger, not to quibble, but isn't the Big XII Tournament Champion crowned AFTER the NCAA seedings are announced? If so, the key is to get to the Championship Game, not necessarily to win it. Though winning it would be good, too.
Not this year. The champion will be crowned on Saturday and then the selections are made on Sunday.

Quibble away, your highness OK, upon reading 28's response to the King's, looks like it DOES land early this year, which I fully endorse, because I'd rather watch OU beat Kansas than Dickie V b!tch and moan about the 5 most deserving teams that will now land in the NIT instead of the NCAA's... but NOW I can watch BOTH! If we have a shortage of threads on the basketball forum during the rest of the season (hahahahahahahaha), I would be concerned that ending the tourney a day early (is this a new NCAA requirement?) would make more-recently-declared-champions have a better chance at a better seed, unless this is what all conferences are now doing. So, perhaps a discussion in changes to the postseason tourneys is in order? In any event, I am hopeful that OU, Tulsa, and Oral Roberts represent the state very well in the NCAA's. As for OSU, whatev
