Texas is killing Kansas right now too. Still time left but KU is out of rhythm pretty badly.

Texas is pretty good. Given that KU is now coming into the easy part of their conference play, the lead in the Big 12 is pretty big. They will need to stay focused. Could be worse, they could be falling apart like Ohio State.

UT up 17 with just under eight minutes. Barnes really has his team playing well. ESPN announcers were talking about the turn around and said Texas had talented players last year but very selfish attitudes. Addition by subtraction.

Hey eassssssy there lol, OSU did get a huge win at the Kohl Center today. To put it in perspective, OSU is exactly 1-9 against Wisconsin in the last ten at Wisconsin. And in that stretch, they've had the better team two times that I can recall. But yeah, losing to Penn State was embarrassing, worst loss I can ever remember for the Scarlet and Gray in the last 15 years. If you ever want to hear a press conference, listen to this.

I've heard some not pleasant things from a buddy of mine in the bball ops, never good to have locker room problems. Smith Jr. hints at in the press conference too.

I hope UT wins big this year. The last thing we need is for them to struggle and try to poach our ace recruiters before we truly do something to get noticed.

No one is falling apart as badly as Baylor is.

Bears beat Okie Lite in Stillwater today. Does not mean the pieces are back in place though

I'm not sure if you worded this wrong but the best thing that could possibly happen for SMU is Texas to completely F it up and Barnes to get fired. Why would you ever want the better basketball school to be successful within the same state? Texas has the better basketball history recently and Barnes has put countless guys into the NBA. You don't want them to be successful, hell he's pull 4* top 100 players even in their bad years and him not knowing if he will have a job next year.
