No, but basketball ratings are.

Going to the game today vs ou, I'll be the guy in Burnt Orange. Looking forward to it!

I’m just realizing this game is on ESPN+… is this a pay channel?  In any case, I don’t believe I get it

I'm starting to think that Terry has a real chance to be the coach next year. Recruiting will make the difference.

Is there a chance he doesn’t want it?  He left a HC gig to come here as an asst coach, right?  I doubt this is the case… but not beyond the realm of possibility… is it?

Tied at 34 at the half.  Having to go by the gamecast on ESPN.com as I refuse to pay for their streaming service.

We won in OT 85-83.  Got to start getting more from Hunter, Mitchell, and Morris. The fact that we only got a total of 7 points from Bishop, Hunter, Mitchell, and Morris is putting way to much of a workload on the others.

I swear this team can beat anyone and lose to anyone.   Maddening.

Actually I think that is true of the entire Big-12 this year. Any team can whip any other team on a given night.

Gonzaga, UCLA and Texas are the only schools with mens and womens basketball teams in top 25.

Nope. Indiana, Iowa St, UConn and Arizona do too.

Agreed.  ou is in last in the conference and beat the #1 ranked Alabama by 24 points three weeks ago.  No one was going undefeated in conference play this year.

Got the infro. from 24/7 did not bother to check it out. Pay services arenot so accurate now days.

Could not find article so might not be 24/7 Wanted to see what poll was used.

Great crowd at the game yesterday. Have to give ou credit (that hurt to type), they came to play. Texas didn't play their best and won, always good. Missed way too many close shots, have to make those.

Tech and ou will be dangerous come the Big XII tournament because them winning it will be the only way they get to the dance. As some of yall have stated, in this conference anyone can beat anyone anywhere.

TCU nearly knocked off Kansas today but the Jayhawks got the win.

They have two games at home against Tech and WVU. Would be very lucky for us if they drop one of those but unlikey. If we are to win the Big 12 championship we likely have to go 4-0, including beating Kansas in Austin.

Baylor still has a title shot but has a few tough games remaining, including at K-state tomorrow and vs. Texas in Waco on Saturday.

Texas will have to go 4-0 over #23 Iowa State, at Baylor, at #24 TCU and then Kansas in Austin to clinch the Big 12.

The Kansas game in Austin could very well be the biggest game of the season in the Big 12. How cool would that be?

I don't see this team running the table. For one, it's a gauntlet and two, I don't think this team is good enough. They play hard and don't quit, but the highly rated players are inconsistent. I think they could go 3-1, but probably 2-2 down the stretch. Hopefully they prove me wrong.

[Baron]

Tim Allen with a slow start again. Iowa St crashing the boards. 10-4 Iowa St.

[Baron]

Texas working their way back with aggressive play. 18-10

[Baron]

A complete trash non call. Hunter upended and then a ticky tack shooting call on the other end for give Iowa state

[david ficken]

47-29 Texas at the half. 

[tejasrulz]

Texas hitting their shots and playing tough D, good combo.

I think they made a "make-up call" shortly afterwards however you have to call that.
