The scores in these scrimmages are less meaningful then spring training baseball scores. Not sure why people don't understand that.

Iowa State vs Minnesota is not till Sunday, November 2nd, but here are some tweets about the teams we will see this year:

Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN · 1h1 hour ago

A little birdie told me that Texas beat Davidson by 20 in one of those "secret scrimmages" and that Isaiah Taylor was dominant.


Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN · 58m58 minutes ago

Texas started Connor Lammert over heralded frosh Myles Turner in the secret scrimmage. Turner, per source, spent most of his time facing up.


Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN · 28m28 minutes ago

Another little birdie told me that Iowa and Creighton tied in their "secret scrimmage" yesterday.


Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN · 27m27 minutes ago

Best players on the floor, per a source, were Creighton's Devin Brooks and Iowa's Aaron White.


Jeff Goodman @GoodmanESPN · 7m7 minutes ago

Another little birdie told me that Nebraska handled Kansas State in a secret scrimmage over the weekend in Omaha.





How many ******* little birdies does Jeff Goodman have?

in two weeks no one will care about these scrimmages, right now this info is all they really have to go on. Not sure why people are getting upset about people talking about mbb.

Overreact much?

I heard Kansas had a bad practice on Friday. That must mean they'll finish 6th this year.

There is Bruce Weber though. He's starting to get to a point where the previous staff is no longer and influence on the team. I wouldn't be surprised to see a steady decline from here on. Just look at the turnaround he did at Illinois. Went from top of the Big 10, almost the country, to bottom feeder in a few short years.

Correction: K-State is a top 4 team according to the Big 12 coaches

If we go by what the coaches are voting, the Big 12 could be in for a rough year ;-)
I don't find it crazy to think that KSU could finish ahead of us at all. They return almost everyone form a young team last year that was 1 game from tying us in the Big 12 standings. They also have 1 or 2 decent transfer prospects coming in.

Weber's downfall at Illinois was recruiting. He is and always has been a solid game coach. So far at KSU he hasn't slipped on recruiting yet. Not saying it won't happen down the road.

I would expect Nebraska vs KSU to be a pretty even game. KSU might be still finding their identity with the new guys. Or Miles has had quite the offseason.

CU vs Iowa being close is bad news for Iowa. Creighton lost a lot more than an AA last year.

I don' t believe anything this guy says. I know he is lying because birds can't even talk.
