WVU beating KU by 11 in the first half...

[pnkranger]

...and the announcers were talking about how Marcus Smart has won four games since returning from his suspension.

 

[Swans]

They just put 50 on them in the first half!

 

[JBaker]

Refs doing everything they can to get Kansas back in it though.

 

[DenverSooner]

Does 9-9 with wins against KU, OU, KSU, Baylor and ISU get them into the tournament? Obviously they still have to win to even have this discussion.

 

[AdaSooner]

WVU could really make things interesting if they win today's game and two more in the Big 12 tourney. If they don't get an NCAA tourney bid, how would you like to face them in the NIT?

Heck, most posters here are worried about OU playing Baylor or OSU in the conference tournament. WVU is the team I don't want to play. They're not a good match up for us. We don't have anyone who can guard Staten, and their bigs make it difficult for Spangler inside.

KU doesn't have energy today. Their play is very similar to our "play" against Tech at home. They're getting killed on the offensive glass and their shot selection is terrible. It's tough to bring the energy every time, game after game....even for the elite teams. They are now down 22.

I think I would rather see a few other teams rather than WV in KC....namely Baylor or Texas. They have weapons and when they got hot, they are tough to stop. They have improved considerably since the beginning of the season.

Holy Moly!!! WVU up 22 on KU at the 17 minutes mark of the second half.

Why the heck couldn't KU have played just once against us like they did against ut, oswho and WVU?

Because we are an actual rival with a legitimate chance to unseat them as big 12 champs in the near future.

Yeah, looks like we will play WVU now if we win.
I don't like that matchup as much a as OSU or Baylor.

We had our chances in both games. Just didn't make plays at the end to win both games. Really could have won both of the games against them this year.

 

[Soonerman82]

KU has cut it to 12 with help from the refs.

 

[mict085]

Ku gets more help from the refs than any team in history, including Duke. It's BULL****!!!

KU's bench is useless.

 

[opsooner]

WV refusing to run any offense until 5 seconds left on the clock. Reminds me a little bit of OU at times. Their 25-point lead is down to 5.

 

[NickZepp]

WVU will win. Up 8 with less than 35 seconds left.

Not sure WVU has the record to make the NCAA Tournament but they have some really solid wins.

The time that KU gets burned by a bad call in conference play will be the first. Stacey King knows that from Big 8 experience ('87 Big 8 semis).

Resume has NIT written all over it and deservedly so.

I agree, they probably have to win at least 2 in the Big 12 to even get looked at in the NCAA in the end. But wins over us, KU, and ISU will help. But the 6th place team in the Big 12 won't make it in the NCAA. When 7 and 8 probably will make it in.
