The Big 12 2017-18 Nonconference Thread

[skyvue]

Every team in the conference besides the Sooners played tonight and they all won by double digits except West Virginia, who got smoked by Texas A&M and ISU, who lost by 15 to Mizzou.

All the victors won by margins of 25 or more points except TCU, who topped Louisiana-Monroe by 10.

Pretty much everything went as expected over the weekend....exception being WV. However, they are replacing a lot and it might take a while to get to the point where they are giving maximum effort/fouling/thuggery for Huggins.

In case you've been under a rock, Mizzou has one of the best players in the country and them beating up on a rebuilding ISU should not be a surprise anyone at this point.

We will know a lot more about the pecking order in this conference come mid-December.

Porter only played 2 minutes in that game. He tweaked his hamstring in warm-ups, tried to play on it, and decided he couldn’t.

I didn't even bother looking at the box score. I guess that is what happens when you assume. In that case, it probably says more about ISU and the hill that they have to climb with their roster this season.

Iowa State absolutely drubbed by Wisconsin-Milwaukee. That team is really bad.

They looked awful. They do have two players returning next game, Hans Brase (Sr.) & Cameron Lard (Fr.), so they might not be as bad as they were tonight. I still don't see them being a tournament team.

Is this a joke about the guy named Boo who went off against the Taj/Terrell team in the tournament in Kelvin's last year?

Nah.....it's more about their fans constantly booing each and every call that goes against them.....Hilton Magic baby!

Wichita State topped Baylor, 69-62, today in Waco. We are going to have our hands more than full against the Shockers in Wichita in a couple of weeks.

Would love to be optimistic but that's probably a loss. Just need to beat USC in LA and we should come out of the Non-conference in very good shape

USC 55

UTSA 80

Arkansas 65
Houston 91

Yikes. And Northwestern isn't the same either. Need to win both of those

I'm watching texas-bama. I would happily agree to our Sooners facing off against either team, especially the tide, tomorrow.

yeah I was watching it first for the Sexton/Trae argument. Trae wins and it's not close.

Then I was wondering about Mo Bamba being "Big-12 pre-season freshman of the year". That award should be Trae's. Not close either.

It looks like we beat two teams that will be in the tournament (Oregon and Wichita St.), with our only loss coming to a team who will make the field.

And that non-con schedule is going to look like a cakewalk compared to conference play. Not a single game you can set in stone as a sure win.

I think Arkansas, WSU, USC, Oregon and Northwestern are all in the running to the make the tourney. WSU is currently projected as a two, but they are obviously struggling a bit. Arkansas, like OU, is currently a five. USC and Oregon are currently in the first four out and second four out, respectively.

Northwestern receives no mention and clearly has some serious work to do.
