Earlier Games In The Big 12 Conference

Of the Big 12 games already completed Texas is the only team in the conference to lose. However because the Longhorns lost on a last second shot I’m sure they’ll tell us that it didn’t count and they should keep their #5 ranking.

O-State is doing their best to make the conference look good. They are trailing Rhode Island 44-38 at the half.

Conference Scores
Texas Tech 86 – New Mexico 78
Kansas State 73 – Centenary 51
Texas 63 – Michigan State 67
Kansas 71 – Temple 59
Texas A&M 72 – LSU 61
Nebraska 75 – IPFW 48
Missouri 64 – Stetson 37

While not on the theme

I’ll pretend this is also a college sports open thread…

And Arizona is starting to take over the Vegas Bowl. I thought BYU would run over UA

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 20, 2008 10:01 PM CST reply actions

I didn't think that they would run over them

but I did think that the Cougars would win

by ccmachine on Dec 20, 2008 10:09 PM CST up reply actions

I tend to give the schools from the non BCS schools

too much credit at times. But the MWC has owned the Pac-10 this year

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 20, 2008 10:12 PM CST up reply actions

They have, and I thought that AZ would have a tough time covering BYU receivers

by ccmachine on Dec 20, 2008 10:13 PM CST up reply actions

Big 3 by TC to start the half

by ccmachine on Dec 20, 2008 10:09 PM CST reply actions

ouch tough charge

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

Oklahoma not getting off to a good second half start

by ccmachine on Dec 20, 2008 10:11 PM CST reply actions

wow

VCU looks like they came to play…and OU looks like they came for a mid-night scrimmage.

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

Willie!

He’s having a really good game

by ccmachine on Dec 20, 2008 10:21 PM CST reply actions

Yes he is

and did you see him come back down the court?…He’s really hurt

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 20, 2008 10:23 PM CST up reply actions

Warren is really hurting

and he needs to be pulled out of the game…it’s just VCU

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 20, 2008 10:21 PM CST reply actions

I think he needs to stay on the bench and not risk making the injury worse

by ccmachine on Dec 20, 2008 10:26 PM CST up reply actions

Long drive for UA

and another score! Vegas Bowl looks over now.

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 20, 2008 10:22 PM CST reply actions

Great Steal

and follow up basket!

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 20, 2008 10:28 PM CST reply actions

VCU just got winded

and OU looks to have gotten hot. nice run OU

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 20, 2008 10:29 PM CST reply actions

OU guards are playing really good tonight!

by ccmachine on Dec 20, 2008 10:30 PM CST reply actions

YES!

This game really makes me think this team is more than Blake Griffin. VC has done a great job inside, and the guards have stepped up.

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.

by Redhawk on Dec 20, 2008 10:33 PM CST up reply actions

This is how they are going to have to play to win the conference

by ccmachine on Dec 20, 2008 10:35 PM CST up reply actions

Well, CC

I’ll let you have the rest of the game….I have a big day tomorrow of work (too much work, not enough days, then take out more days for the holidays..adds up to me working Sunday)

Thought Clint Hurdle should be fired before it was cool.
