Unbelievable. I tried to find the Houston v TTech game just now. Nowhere on espn, not on espn+. Had to come back to espn and search TexasTech...Oh there it is, hidden on the espnews channel!

No respect for this game? Duke v NC and the follow game w/ Ark v Ky get all the love.

Just venting. I expect this from now on.

Apparently KU's loss is their largest blown lead (21) in school history.
Baylor went on a 64-32 run.

The metrics that influence the committee disagree.
They don't make a decision until mid March.
Let's see where KSU ends up.

Also if ISU goes on a run after Milan comes back that will have a positive impact on seeding.

Of course Houston gets beat today too
Only fair. I'm watching the 1st half of the houston v tech game, and oh my! a flagrant 2 called on Toppin of tech and he gets thrown out. It was a horrible call. Then Macslasnd get a T and gets thrown out also. All within the first 5 minutes of the 1st half.

I've never seen such bad calls (well other than the various KU calls against us). Houston deserved to lose that game just because of the horrible officiating against Tech early.

Haven't really watched Arky this year.
How is their record that bad? They have some dudes.

Did another big 12 team lose a quad 3 home game, while being a 16 point favorite, and currently ranked in the ap top 3?
I think TTech was a pretty big dog today, no?

Many teams were dissapointed today. We lost. To a team that is surging a little bit with D1 level players and a guy who earned about $1M today based on his production thus far this year (that means he played prety well and earned some of the money he is getting paid.)

That does not mean ISU does not need to pull their collective heads out and start playing like a team, becuase they do. But, losing today does not mean they are done for the season. That is what I was trying to say with my mention of ALL the other teams that lost today and aren't done for the season either.

Iowa State, Florida, Kansas, Louisville, and Vanderbilt were all ranked, either leading or within 2 points at half and then completely blown out in the 2nd half.

I'm not sure what to make of that other than a really weird day in college basketball.
