@COHawk You are correct, and I'm mad at myself because I KNEW that!
Dixon and Self will face each other for the first time. What Fort Worth thinks about tonight's game.
From Chevy Chase's Las Vegas Vacation
Howard has really done well as a recruiter.
Jo Jo will be an All-Star because he really, really wants to be with Rihana.
The only bright side to losing Doke is that he won't be shooting any more free throws.I re-watched the Duke game and we don't win that game without him.
Villanova squeaks by DePaul by 3. It's Conference time baby!
K-State fans were screaming to hire Brad Underwood last year. He was born in McPherson, Ks. He played at K-State, he was an assistant coach at K-State for 6 years. He wanted to Coach at K-State. K-State stuck with Weber. So far, the Cats have had a good pre-season, but their strength of schedule might come back to bite them like it did when Conference began last year. I bet they wish they had Marcus Foster back. he is averaging over 19 pts. per game and Creighton is ranked ninth with a New Years eve game against Villanova.
The best guards in the country are in the Big 12 - KU's 5, OSU Evans and Forte, OU Woodard, ISU Morris. Baylor has a trasnfer from Miami via Belgium that is running the hell out of an undefeated Baylor. Motley is the best BIg in the conference. This will be a much faster conference lead by the waterbugs of WVU. Losing McKay at ISU and Williams at WVU hurts the rebounding but speeds up both offenses. Speaking of Rebounds, TCU has a coach that teaches the box out better than any in the league. They have a guard that is averaging over 10 per game.
Frank lectured the team yesterday about the difference between pre-season and conference play. Every game means more and each team you play knows every one of your tendency's. When you call out a play, they will call out to others what that play will be.
To avoid all of the Bowl games on Saturday, Every Big 12 team plays a Big 12 team.
3 p.m.* *WVU @OSU****. WVU has beaten Virginia but lost to Temple. OSU beat Wichita State by 19 and lost to North Carolina.
5 p.m. Texas Tech @ ISU. TT has no big wins, and lost to Auburn by 2. ISU lost by 2 to Gonzaga, lost by 1 to Cincy and lost by 13 to Iowa.
6 p.m. * Baylor @ OU*. Baylor is undefeated beating Louisville and Oregon. OU is coming off 3 straight losses
7 p.m. Texas @ K-state. Texas best win this year has been Incarnate Word? They lost last night at home to Kent State. K-State should be 12-0 except for missing a free throw against Maryland.
8 p.m. KU @ TCU. Many people can't believe Jamie Dixon took the TCU job. But they gave him a ton of money and he is a TCU Alum. Their one loss was to SMU which is suppose to win it's conference. There maight be a small TCU crowd and a Large KU following since TCU's bowl game will be the exact same time as this basketball game. Be prepared to have your eyes battered by the horrible frog scales painted on the floor.
We have a four guard offense against WVU this year vs their press. Last year it was two Bigs and Selden.
I iphone had not even been invented when the conference winning streak started.
Two back to back wins over Washington State??? They beat UNLV by 4. We beast UNLV by 19. Does that mean we win by 15 on the road? They also play a four guard offense.
TCU hires an expensive coach. 11-1 going into conference.

Either this is copyright infringement or Phogg Allen has a brother named Frog.
@drgnslayr I agree. Who will beat the Baylors and the Mountaineers from the rest of the conference?
But then they have to come back to Allen Field House. The game where Landon had a double/double and 16 rebounds and an Interview with Duke Vitale and the Selfie on National TV,
I don't see Baylor's zone defense as being a problems for us. Self has said that Josh is the best player he has had in the middle of the zone, ever. We have Killed every zone that has been thrown at us this year. However, for the last three years, Press Virginia has had our number in Morgantown. Devin Williams was the bane of our existence for the last two years. He did us a favor by leaving early. KU will be undefeated at home. This year is the best I've felt about our team for conference play in the last six years. No Oklahoma, Texas or OSU. Iowa state lost both McKay and Niang. Huggie's alway been the biggest thorn for us, but I don't see us losing the Big 12.
However, this was our worst game of last year.
Foster and Harris could have made K-State a scary team. Now the big game of the week is Villanova and Creighton. Tubby after his success last year still scheduled palookas for the pre-conference schedule.

Chris Beard has over achieved at the three school where he has coached. His meteoric rise has led TT to take a chance on him. His salary shows that there is a wait and see attitude by the university.
Brad Underwood put Stephen S. Austin on the map. His record made him a Rock Star big money coach.
Dixon will show the Big 12 how to rebound. The players on this team were not chosen by him, but when he recruits, he loves the glass cleaners. Look at a Cincy game this year.
Remember when Rusty Griswold wanted to get into the casino with a fake ID?
It has only happened twice during the Bill Self era, a loss right before the Christmas break, but they have both been memorable enough to bring up the subject every year at this time. There is a sigh of relief when we win and the kids and coaches can enjoy being with their families. "home sick" is a real thing. Both losses were to Temple. one in AFH and the other disaster in the Philly snow, losing by 25 points. We went on to having a great season. Last night we learned that Josh Jackson is a lot like George Brett. Sparky Anderson said, "He could wake up on Christmas Morning and still hit 300." Frank and Devonte were good but they miss their families back east. I feel sorry for Doke and hope he has somewhere to be this Christmas with his injury. There were no smiles from him while on the bench. It must feel strange for the coaches and Tyler to be the only ones on the plane home as the others leave McCarren International airport to join their families for a few day. Whether we as fans hate going 8 days with no basketball, we too need to be with our families as we all get ready for TCU and Big 12 Basketball. Rock Chalk and Merry Christmas.
@jaybate-1.0 This website has become much more than a basketball blog. We've sometimes acted like a disjointed family at Thanksgiving with the disgruntled Uncles railing at the Whippersnappers with fierce arguments about Fools gold, Jamari, Morningstar, Diallo, and coaching faux pas. Everyone has an opinion. Many times, to our amazement, our attitudes change as we talk about young men, many just young teens. Our glory days our over.
If you stay with this site long enough, you somehow end up with some great friends that have become buddies from all parts of the world. We learn about their families, their "good times" in regard to their connection to KU. Some of us go back a long time. For myself, I proudly display my avatar of the first JoJo.
What I realized last night with @rockchalkintexas was an unexpected feeling of grief, similar to the sadness one feels when a close friend loses a loved one. Thank you @approxinfinity for giving me and many others this family. @rockchalkintexas, I want you to be here at least as long as I can stay.
Sweetheart, You welcomed me to this site many years ago. We have shared a lot and I looked forward to your person to person encounter's with Coach and the team when they are in Austin. There is a CBS Sport's App that my sister will be using tonight. Look for it, it's free. In these last five years, I have found that going through the things that you and your husband are going through and getting a good diagnosis of the exact problem, leads to getting the exact treatment you need to recover and appreciate every day afterward. You've got my prayers. Send us more photos again of you and your husband at the Texas game. Take care of yourself.
