Big 12 Basketball is doo doo

[Ollies Stache]

The only highlight in the pathetic 22 year history of Big 12 basketball is a random mid-season matchup tonight of Kansas vs Oklahoma (other than Kansas winning the Natty in '08 of course). Some jabroni startup mid-major conference that has existed 3 years now has won as many National Titles in that span during 2014. amirite?

Let's not even dig into some other "Power 5's" like the Pac-12 and Big Tin Can during that span....

Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa State TCU, and WVU are pretty good teams - oh yeah KSU and OSU have had really good teams in the past
You paint with too big a brush
Many highlight games and great rivalries

What are you talking about? Are you watching this game? The #1 and #2 teams in the country in a raucous environment are playing great basketball. I watch this game and think how exceedingly boring and tedious UConn is as compared to the quickness in decision making, ball movement, cuts etc. that these teams execute. Felt the same way watching UNC and WVU as well.

Perry Eliss ball'in like an nba veteran.

I think we need to institute a troll toll here.

Great half between two schools famous for being future UConn rivals, Kansas and Oklahoma.

Being a prisoner of the moment, yes this OK-KU game is enthralling to watch. What does this mean come March when everything is on the line.... given the Big 12's track record. Not much, if anything.

Really great game to watch. Kansas is wicked deep but that's not all good. Guys get no rhythm it would seem not enough run.

I like Oklahoma a lot, great athletes, really good post man and long PF who can block shots and rebound the basketball. And Hield, what's not to like. Cousins too.

Great game, I like Oklahoma a lot. Hield is the best scorer in the college game.

Cousins, Hield, and Woodard might be the best 3-guard combo in the country. Although it's funny how Cousins went straight from Mount Vernon H.S. to OU - not really their typical recruiting grounds...

Very good game.

Lon Kruger is criminally underrated, I'm convinced he could go to Fairfield and make them a top 25 team.

and older than many nba vets.
Love watching Hield play.

Jayhawks have stormed back. This is gonna be a great finish.

While I appreciate the kind words, TCU has never been worth a damn.

Amazing game!!

What a call by the ref...over the back (legit call) on Kansas under their own basket. 77-77. 2.3 secs left. Okies to the foul line!!

EDIT: Off to OT.

 

[superjohn]

Yup the Big 12 stinks, lol.

 

[UChusky916]

Hield is insanely good

 

[NYC_HUSKY22]

Wow - Oklahoma looks good - almost reminds of UConn Circa 2009 sans a thabeet esq center.

 

[cohenzone]

Great game for two teams from such a terrible league.

Probably not the best night to be pushing your anti-Big 12 agenda.

Aside from the insane original post, this is one of the best games I've watched in a while.
