The non-Dick Vitale guy said that the Big 12 will get 7 teams in the Tournament. I have not seen this much parity in the Big 12 in the last 13 seasons. UWV gets beaten by Tech, OU and K State. Baylor losses by 21 at UWV. Udoka was green, but he was a Man-Child. He was getting better at shot blocking and he was intimidating when guards tried to drive on him.
Self is playing a tougher conference than before with three new excellent coaches in the league and he's doing it with his least talented Bigs. I envy TCU having Brodziansky and K-State with a four-year type in Dean Wade. A big injury to a good player seems to happen every year at KU. Having Udoka injured early could help Coach find a way to win without a Boss. Lucas was sick last night but watching Mitch play his most minutes in a Conference game shows how Self is trying to find any solution. The failure of Alexander and Diallo have left us in a Big Man bind.
UWV lost to OU because they were thinking ahead to last night's game.
Mitch went in and stayed.
What's with the Trump face in the crowd?
Graham is on tonight!
If we continue to break the press, we win.
@ralster Not the tonight show but Conan.
I wish he could play four more years also. Let him play while he gets his Masters and PhD.
We can't let this happen again.
@ralster She sang the West Virginia state song on the Tonight Show.
The toughest part of the UWV press is getting the ball in bounds. K State had three 5 second TO's. Once it get's inbounded, Frank, and Devonte can handle a double team. Players must run to meet the ball. A transition fast break should be the objective of each out of bounds play. Here's one way to get the ball inbounds. I really think that frank and Devonte are the best at handling the ball against the press in the Big 12.
The WVU version of KU highlights, At least they don't print T-Shirts and sell DVD's of the victory like KSU.

@Crimsonorblue22 Juan was one of the early Dominicans in the Majors. He played for the Giants with Willie Mays. Same body, same pitching motion and lots of strike outs. Juan was his hero.
Rest in Peace Yordano. You were the next Juan Marichal.
One time, Moonshine was the drug of choice in West Virginia. For the last 6 years, 780,000,000 have used Oxycontin or Hydrocodone in the state, That comes out to 433 per resident.

150 seems like a lot. But there were 16,300 people there.
The sound track for this 4-minute highlight of the UNC/KU Final Four match is Eminem using several MF's but enjoy Cole's block on Hansbrough and scoring at the other end.
Cole smacked Hansbrough! I do remember that.
@tis4tim Heinrich stopped it by yelling, "THIS IS KANSAS. WE DON'T STORM THE COURT!!!!!" Young fans were very worried about the Jayhawks early in the season, We had just lost to Colorado and Arizona. There was a prophetic article that came out before this game about Collison banging his fist on his car as Roy walked by. He talked to the coach about how angry he was with losing. Nick said to Roy, something along the line of "I'm not going to let it happen again. I'm sick of it. A lot of fans felt the same way. Nick had one of the greatest games ever in AFH. Only Wilt had a higher combination of points and rebounds. The crowd went crazy when Nick fouled out with our lead at the end. They screamed louder when Dick Vitale gave him a standing ovation. Texas was considered the team that would win the Conference that year so it was a very excited crowd that did have a few kids did run onto the court until they saw how mad Heinrich was about the situation. You could actually hear him on the broadcast yelling at the students.
The Championship before the Championship. One of the most exciting games ever played by KU. Chalmers and Rush vs. Augustine and Abrams. Highlights.
KU wins the Big 12 Championship by beating Keven Durant and the longhorns.
