Nah, but there is a decent chance we have at least 1 more win, maybe 2 and possibly 3. Just that one could be the difference in winning the conference or being in 2-5th place.

That difference is pretty significant.
So we are top 3 team without Jones? If we have 3 less losses, at 19-3, we will be ranked #1 or #2. You can’t blame one player for team loss. Why don’t you blame Osun for missing the dunk and free throws at the end of OSU game? How about blame Lipsey for key turnovers and GK for missing key free throws at TT game?

Man you are insufferable with this schtick. We get it, you don't like Jones getting minutes.

It's definitely beginning to feel like there's a personal vendetta there, instead of just a harsh but fair critique of him as a player.

Kind of like went Wally S. went after Tyrese not too long ago.

I'm not expecting or asking for Rob Jones to finish up as the Big 12 POTY, but being able to give him at least a little bit of credit here and there shouldn't be too much to ask for. The way ZRF writes about him makes you think that Rob Jones stole his girl in high school or something.

Maybe his wife yelled "Big Rob Energy" while she was dreaming.

rewatching now, and they definitely toned down the volume on espn. even after grills first basket, the volume spiked a bit but they turned it down. it was loud in there even in the upper deck.

Yep. I told my wife that Hilton was electric and rocking yesterday, but she said it didn;t seem that way on TV. I figured they were messing with the crowd noise again (which is extremly annouying - tonig up and toning down). 'Twas very obvious on the replay last night. Also could not hear the "You suck ****" chants either.

Re: crowd audio on TV: I didn't have the volume super-loud, but on any of the huge scoring plays the crowd explosion definitely was noticeable. Maybe most of the comments were about the general noise level.

The crowd was LOUD in those moments, but the TV crowd noise appeared to be canned. I say this as having been at the game and watching the replay on ESPNU last night.

Thank goodness, Fran F. was on the call, because otherwise the TV audio would have been worthless. It was not reflective of the true Hilton atmosphere.

Almost impossible to have that feeling/atmosphere without being there.
