Big XII / SEC Challenge

[Salt City Sooner]

TCU loses by 3; didn't shoot a single free throw for the entire game.

That has to be close to a record

 

[TINY]

That has to be close to a record

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that it is equal to the all time record of least amount of free throws taken.

This thing has 5-5 written all over it.

Hopefully OSU can score an upset.

OSU pissed down their leg the final 5 minutes and blew it

WVU will have to hold on vs Kentucky to get a 5-5 split. Up 15 in 2nd half

I’ve never had confidence in WVU

Starting to choke...love to see them get pissed when they don't get fouls

Awful day for the B12. Conference takes a hot today and the criticism will be deserved. SEC is not very good— losing 6 out of 10 today is a bad look. Their two ranked teams (Tenn and Fla) rolled with ease and unranked UK and Bama beat Top 12 teams, one being on the road.

OU is not the only conf team to play poorly today. TCU loss surprised me the most. They seem to only know how to lose close games. WV lacks offense as always and we stink on the road in a physical game.

TCU was without 3 guys. They may limp to finish line

But yeah, Vandy no good

SEC is actually pretty good this year

Deep league

Eh, might have some depth, but nothing at the top. A bunch of middling teams and their blue blood is having a down year.

I agree, the big12 is about the same

 

[oudna]

I agree, the big12 is about the same

Luckily the Big 12 already captured the RPI crown in December

Today and in-conference cannibalization won’t move the meter much

 

[Soonerinkc]

I agree, the big12 is about the same

turning out that way

Your statement infers that there may have been some home cooking for Vandy when Vandy (11) had more PF's than the frogs (10). So it wasn't nessessarily the refs' whistle that killed the frogs.

You're reading way too much into my post. I'm simply saying that there were a few (& I do stress few, because when both teams weren't jacking up 3's they were both shooting the lights out, due in large part to some not so stellar defense) occasions in which TCU should've been at the line, but due to a very loosely called game (again, both ways) were not afforded the opportunity to be there.

And BTW, # of fouls called is about as simplistic of a way to determine which team got the better end of the officiating as it gets. The number of uncalled fouls (& fwiw, I'm not advocating a free throw derby) can just as easily manipulate a game, but you won't see it in a box score. It'd be just as silly for me to say that since TCU shot fewer 3's yesterday that they must've been taking it to the hoop more than Vandy, when they weren't.

TCU doesn't look like they'll even make the tournament.

They played nobody in non conference imo. They were hilariously overrated

I apologize but it was very difficult for me to conclude the above from your statement regarding TCU shooting zero free throws. I would suspect that a large majority of the readers of your post would make the same inference as to your intent in your post.
