Who went to the Houston locker room with an injury?

 

[awd4cy]

Mildcats lose again! Hate to see it.

I keep seeing their fans say this is a must win game before every game. It’s weird that they think they are anywhere close to the bubble

Roberts I think. He was having a good game, had something like their first 12 points I think.

 

[CycloneErik]

OU hasn't started this half yet.

 

[rosshm16]

Of course the night they actually get in foul trouble is also the night Houston's offense goes for 100.

 

[ClonesTwenty1]

Kansas State now toast for NCAAs unless they win at Kansas or beats ISU AND wins three to get to title game in KC.

I wouldn’t say they need all of that.

 

[HFCS]

And just like that blowout.

 

[HFCS]

I wouldn’t say they need all of that.

2-2 might get them in. 1-2 and I think they’re toast.

NET 75
KenPom 71
BartTorvik 64
Q1 wins: 3
Q3 losses: 1

They need big wins. Getting one of KU or ISU helps but a win over WVU or OSU in KC does nothing. Winning quarterfinal gets them right at the cut off line I'd think but another win in semis would do it. Anything less and they don't get in. Just my opinion.

Of course they're not really being called for their fouls much anymore either.

 

[HFCS]

Jfc backing off LJ when he hit 3 in a row!!!!!! How stupid!!!

 

[jcf817]

yeah, Creighton is the host of the Omaha site, so they can't play there (if it was Nebraska or Nebraska-Omaha, then it would be fair game)

Not even then, unless it was at a different arena.

 

[DSM4Cy]

K-State has no chance to make the tournament unless they win the B12 tourney in KC. Not even on the bubble. They are OUT.

Eh. Beat KU on the road or ISU next week and making the title game would do it I think. But neither of those wins (KU or ISU) are likely so yeah winning in KC seems like their best option

 

[rosshm16]

OU looks like they called us for tips on how to come hot after halftime

 

[FerShizzle]

ball on the ground between 5 players. 2 houston players are on the floor and 3 sooners are standing and watching. game over.

 

[Althetuna]

OU is toast.

 

[ClonerJams]

I hate Oklahoma. When they're not screwing the conference over, they're losing games that can help us. Bums.

 

[andybernard]

I'm curious about the rules on that. Can they take the points off there if it had been more than 3 seconds? Or would it be an ISU-KU from 2005(?) situation where once the points were counted they couldnt be pulled off, and they were just reviewing to see if there was any time left to give OU the ball?

Yes, they sure can take the points off. They watch the replay with a stopwatch and see if it took under 3.0 seconds. If it's over, no points.

We replayed it 3 times and timed it:
2.92, 2.93, 2.92

If Houston actually cared about the integrity of college basketball they’d lose this game to make next week more interesting. They clearly don’t, and it says a lot about them as a program.
