I take it we only have Baylor fans on the BY as opposed to Big 12 fans.

No one watch / interested in today's Big 12 match-ups?

There used to be some Texas fans on here but they've been laying low.

Big 12 really is only Baylor though, so...

Georgia Tech with a fairly bad home loss to Boston College today. GT has been a pleasant surprise this year, that's a head scratcher.

TCU wooped Oklahoma. Just when the Sooners are showing some life. In Norman too. TCU is 4-1 and sitting in 2nd place in the Big 12.

Minnesota got a badly needed win, @ Purdue.

I was thinking of putting Georgia Tech in my next BY top 25 ballot, but they really blew one today.

They didn't lose the game on defense, only giving up 55 points. (GT leads the country in scoring defense at only 48.8 ppg.) They just couldn't get their shooting going. Cubaj, a 47% shooter on the year, was limited by foul trouble and had only 9 points. Their other four starters shot only 20% (8 of 40). Just one of those days.

South Dakota annihilated South Dakota St. 83-48.

I’ve seen the Coyotes three times now. They’re for real; SDSU is a pretty decent team.

There should be some teams hoping South Dakota isn’t in their region.

South Dakota State is missing their best player, Myah Selland, who's out with injury. They are nowhere near as good without her.

As for South Dakota, I'll be interested to see where the committee seeds them. Their problem is that the Summit League outside of the two South Dakota teams is really, really bad (mostly in the 200s and 300s of the RPI). South Dakota's SOS has already taken a huge hit and dragged their RPI into the 40s.

A doubly rough day for Oklahoma State. Natasha Mack played only 3 minutes before going down with an ankle injury. She returned to the bench on crutches and in a boot. The Cowgirls had a double-digit lead in the first half and then led by 7 in mid-4Q before losing by a point.
