At the start of the game it only looked like about 1000 people were in the arena. 28-27 OSU at half, and it is almost as ugly to watch as the TCU game on Saturday...

Arena is almost as ugly too. Seriously that place is UGLY. Who decided it was a good Idea to make a round arena around a rectangular court?

I know I couldn't make a 4:00 tip on MLK Day without burning 1/2 day of vacation. Probably many chose not to do that.

I don't like thinking this, but college basketball really isn't a boom sport for attendance these days.

It's really sad because it's probably the best of any sports to attend. I love going to football games, but every time I get back in Hilton I'm reminded how much I miss college basketball

Most non-government people work on this day.

Yes, I am envious on days like this (as well as almost any Holiday) for a government or academic job. Those employees are fortunate because their employer makes it easy to have a work-life balance!

The self-employed stiffs like myself have got it all wrong;-)

Any one else see the stat at the end of the game where OSU only has 3 Big 12 wins since the start of the 09-10 season? Gotta like our chances for at least a split.
(BTW only has ISU has 7)

Watching these conference games reminds me of how athletic the conference is, even in its down year.
Smart is a freshman but looks like a 5 year NBA vet body wise. Boy, our freshmen are going to have to grow up quick next year.

Clearly you mean road wins. Winning at home is a must.

Conference road wins i assume? This is one reason to be happy with any road win in this conference.
