Big 12 Mens Basketball News

teams like this years UC squad "overlook" the eastern michigans of the world. teams like kansas keep their eye on the prize - they don't overlook the mutts on their schedule. thats why they're kansas.

Every team at every level has a letdown now and then.

i agree, but eastern michigan wasn't a letdown. it was a disaster - EMU controlled the game from start to finish. when a P4 gets outhustled and outmuscled by a mediocre MAC team, that's just a complete beatdown.

And what about wet spots?

looks cool, and i can see a lot of new info on it, to keep things lively. but, part of me still appreciates walking into an older gym, seeing the polished, shiny wood court, smelling the dust, and getting hit by the memories

Yeah, hopefully it won’t be full of ads and distractions, and I hope it doesn’t become the basketball version of that horrible Boise State blue field. I’ll take the wood floor.

I will wait until I see it. Initially, I do not like the idea but again, I will reserve judgement.
