Re: Predict how your conference's teams will do in the 1st round

I actually think the Big 12 will fare fairly well in the first round. They really got fairly good match-ups in my opinion. Oklahoma (W) Obviously they shouldn't have many problems with Morgan State. Kansas (W) I think Kansas will be OK in this spot in spite of the fact many "experts" think...

Re: VA Tech just played the worst 30 seconds of basketball

It seemed Va Tech was more interested in running clock the last few minutes of the game than trying to actually run an offense and score. Usually a recipe for defeat!

Re: Conference tourney discussion

Fortunately I haven't listened to any talk radio. Going into the season it seemed obvious that KU would play a few games really good and then inexplicably play some really bad ones.....the hallmarks of young teams. By and large Kansas had a very successful season that exceeded the predictions/hopes ...

As for the rest of the Big 12 I think that Oklahoma is clearly the class of the league. Be that as it may, Kansas is the league champion and proved it on the court, Blake or no Blake. Heck of a coaching job by Self. I agree completely and I agree Kansas very much deserves their league title. The te...

Why wasn't Kendrick Perkins suspended?

Did he not step onto the court during an altercation? I thought the rule was black and white.........how come there was no suspension? Perkins clearly stepped onto the court towards the "discussion" between the Celts and Hawks on the court. Apparently the rule IS open to interpretation.
