Kansas State has lost 7 of 8, ugh

[swilsonsp4]

TCU rallied from down 9 in the 2nd half and took a 6-point lead in the final minute at Baylor. A Frog fouled VJ Edgecombe while shooting a trey. He hit all 3. Baylor then pressed and forced TCU to lose the ball across the Bears' baseline. Baylor tied it at 0:25 with a trey, causing Jamie Dixon to call time out. TCU drew the Baylor 1-3-1 zone to the center, then found a wide-open shooter in the corner. He buried a trey at 0:05. Frogs win, 74-71.

It was basically a mugging for 40 minutes; very physical. Baylor played out of control for much of the 2nd half. The Frog's effort and physicality, particularly by Earnest Udoh inside, was too much for the Bears.

I tried to warn everyone about Kansas back in April, haha.

I think the guys they've brought in are overrated. All three are negative defenders and only Mayo is an efficient scorer.

The AJ Storr effect. Wisconsin having their best season in a decade while Kansas has their worst. Storr only scored a lot last year because he took so many shots.

BJ Freeman no longer with Arizona State due to detrimental conduct

Arizona State's leading scorer BJ Freeman is no longer with the men's basketball program because of conduct detrimental to the team, a team spokesman confirmed Sunday.

The dismissal follows a turbulent stretch for Freeman, who was ejected in games against Colorado and Arizona during conference play. He was also suspended for the team's road loss to Oklahoma State on Feb. 9.

Here are some pictures of the floor to be used during the B12 men's & women's tourneys. They certainly want to make sure nobody misses "XII" at anytime throughout the games.
