ORU routs Texas Tech

Rice pounds A&M....

Not a good week for the Big 12.
 
I'm telling you guys, the Big 12 may grade out high when it comes to the RPI, but it isn't a strong conference this year. Not a team in the league we can't compete with at home, and probably only two that are complete longshots from the beginning on the road. Defense is always the great equalizer. Kelvin beat several better teams b/c of great team defense and smart offense. That is exactly the kind of team LK has put together, though they do it a bit differently.
 
I am really starting to think OU is a better team than A&M. A&M has three losses and has only broken 60 points in 4 of 9 games (excluding exhibition games). I am almost to the point that I not only think OU can win College Station, I think they should.

The only teams I'm pretty sure we AREN'T better than.....are KU, Baylor, and Mizzou. There isn't another team in this league, that right now, I don't like our chances against.
 
Let's hope the bad week continues with another KU loss to a woeful USC team.
 
I certainly think we could handle most teams in the Big 12 right now and we're probably playing the 4th best basketball in the conference (arguably better). Mizzou, Baylor and KU are quite good, but I could see us taking a win or two at home from the three. This team has certainly outperformed everyone's expectations, so I wouldn't put anything past them if they continue to improve. But, I think we'd all be thrilled with a 4th place finish and a NCAA tournament berth.
 
Baylor has amazing depth which sticks out to me everytime i've watched them play.

Up on St Mary's by 13 in the second half...
 
Good test for Baylor tomorrow against West Virginia.

Send em to the SEC in style... LOSING! :D
 
Tech may go 0-16 in conference this year.

Guess this proves that Billy G is a good coach, not a miracle worker. He'll eventually put together a winning team at Tech. But it won't be nearly as easy to build quality depth there as he found it to be at UK or ATM.

Billy is a defense-first coach cut out of the same mold as Kelvin Sampson. His tyle of coaching requires a special brand of player to win consistently. Tech will continue to struggle until he can recruit the type of player he needs to be successful.
 
Wont happen but I agree they could and are a bad basketball team.

They can beat Texas A&M.

Well... not saying they are ABLE to, but I am allowing them to win against the Aggies. You know, as a going away present :D
 
I'm a little surprised TT isn't a bit better. I thought BG could get them playing better ball than they have so far.

I think we might be better than Kansas also. KU does have a nice win over Ohio State(w/o their best player) but other than that I'm not really impressed with what they've done either. We probably won't win in AFH but we should win in Norman against them. That's something I wouldn't have said coming into the year.
 
Did anyone else catch any of the game or any of Tech's games this year? They have a point guard that is shorter than Keiton Page (or at least he appears shorter) and has Bieber hair!

Oh, and he's mostly deaf too.

So anyway, you can taunt him if he gets some mopup time, but he won't be able to hear your taunts likely :)
 
If that dude actually plays meaningful minutes for them that tells me all I need to know about Tech this year.
