Checked for kicks. Not working for me on AT&T wireless (iOS 13.2.3)

I'm sure it's worked for me on cellular at some point between now and August 4, 2019.

The Big 10 and Big East appear to be the most balanced conferences but also take into account the Big 12 with only 10 teams is by far the smallest. If you add in WV to the big 12 that takes us to 5 and the big east down to 6. And now that I think about it I'm not sure if Syracuse's most recent was with the ACC or Big East?

Syracuse was in the ACC their latest final 4.

Big 10 was in 8 final fours. SEC, BE, ACC all had 7. B12 had 4. With the conference reshuffling, it's a little mixed up, but I suppose teams with 14, 15 or 16 teams have a statistical advantage of getting more teams into the tournament, but the #1 and #2 seeds have the best chance at getting to the F4. The B12 isn't getting many of those #1s or 2s, except for Kansas. Maybe having one more perennial power would help the conference. I don't know.

Kansas as #1 seed (no other B12 teams had #1 seeds)

2010 (lost to Northern Iowa 2nd round)

2011 (lost to VCU)

2013 (lost to Michigan)

2016 (lost to Villanova)

2017 (lost to Oregon)

2018 (final four)

Kansas as # 2 seed

2012 (runner up)

2014 (lost to Stanford)

2015 (lost to Wichita State)

Other #2 seeds:

2010 KState (2) lost to Butler in Regional Championship

2012 Missouri (2) lost first round to Norfolk State (LOL)

2016 Oklahoma (2) made it to the final four

(Tech last year as a #3 made the final four)

So, we can't really blame the other B12 teams for poor tournaments. Despite 2 Final Fours KU has been the biggest B12 under achiever of the decade. Should have been in the final four AT LEAST two additional times, probably 3.

Well, that was a painful look back at the past decade. What was my point?

Do they have an infinite number of guaranteed 4 yard play calls for 3rd and 5 situations?

Otherwise... pound the big guys, Barry Word/Christian Okoye mindset, definitely. Prevent (you from winning) defense late in games, I hope so.

Rock chalk. Some good signs of life.

Ochai needed that.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:44 AM

that was nice, moss

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:42 AM

I hope they poke a doke. He's our hottest freethrow shooter.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:40 AM

I used to think Svi missed a lot of wide open threes. but these guys....

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:39 AM

Braun not only delivers, he collects the rebounds.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:37 AM

quick hook for tristan after that travel. Braun back in.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:31 AM

Ochai's best pass of the year to Garrett for the three... then adds a lob to Big Dave.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:29 AM

Tristan is having some good minutes

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:28 AM

Is Ochai hurt? No power to the rim.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:26 AM

GOOD JOB, TRISTAN. Needed that effort.

Hate to say it, but slow it down a bit, guys. Run a play maybe

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:18 AM

All right, Jayhawks. Season is on the line right here.

Train a cat to sit on a cheerleader's back in an arena? I doubt it.

@Crimsonorblue22 was it a cat? I thought it was a chihuahua ?

I'm not happy that they didn't show the dog halftime show.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:10 AM

Make a couple threes and inside opens up big time

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:09 AM

Shoot till you miss, Moss

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 03:08 AM

such a relief to see an open three drop, then...

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:56 AM

horrible free and three point shooting just makes this decent team seem a lot worse than they are... Ochai HAS to dial it up and maybe Moss will heat up and win us a couple games in the tourney like Malik Newman did.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:48 AM

I can understand some Garrett/Tyshawn comparisons, but I feel a lot more comfortable with Garrett at this stage than Ty

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:47 AM

Great. Did Doke just break his third hand?

Garrett misses a layup to go up 7 and then they get a 3 point play. 5 point swing

scored prev. possession so really just a 1 point swing.

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:36 AM

Garrett is starting to get control of this game

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:34 AM

Once Doke figures out he can jam back offensive boards... OK!!

Goal tend?

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:32 AM

Half our guys seem sped up on offense and the other half seem to be overthinking everything.

Foul?

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:28 AM

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:23 AM

Im OK with braun shooting. He gets enough rebounds to earn a miss or two

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:22 AM

Can't OU run the a wiener dog version of the boomer wagon around inside the arena?

Hide the Cheerleaders Game Thread • Jan 15, 2020 02:17 AM

Big Dave had better block that after giving up the rebound
