BOTC Basketball Roundup: 1.20.11
At this point, it would be a ridiculous understatement to say that K-State's basketball season is a little off course from what it was expected to be in the preseason. If you're like me, your only solace right now is that the K-State athletic department didn't splatter a ridiculous "History...
Texas Basketball: Horns Hammer Hogs 79-46
Rick Barnes spent his post-game radio interview singing the praises of his seniors after Texas' 79-46 rout of the Arkansas Razorbacks. Gary Johnson scored 13 points and grabbed 9 rebounds, Jai Lucas hit three of four three pointers in scoring 13 points and grabbing 6 boards, Matt Hill had 3 points,...
Texas Basketball Tops Lamar 76-55
Texas' 76-55 win over Lamar didn't exactly go according to script, but the Longhorns were good enough in spurts to pull away for the comfortable final margin. Texas enjoyed a pair of 9-point runs in the first half to take a 9 point lead at intermission, then opened up the second half on a 14-4 run...
"The Secret" -- Kansas 68 Tennessee 76
While the Jayhawks tipped off against the Volunteers on Sunday, I began reading Bill Simmons' new book The Book of Basketball on an airplane flying to Chicago. The first chapter of the book is simply titled "The Secret", and goes into detail The Secret, told to Simmons by Isiah Thomas (at a topless...
"HE IS A BALLER!" -- Kansas 84 North Dakota State 74
To the rest of the country, this was not a good day for us. We barely snuck away with only a 10-point lead, which is only so big because of late fouls, as a 3-seed. Against a 14-seed. To the rest of the country, I'm sure they were cheering with every three. Every time Ben Woodside drove into the...
"Step Your Game Up" -- Kansas 87 Oklahoma 78
There was a little less than 9 minutes left in the first half, and Kansas was down, 22-10. After a quick initial start, we were desperate for somebody, anybody to step up and take control. Unsurprisingly, they were focusing most of their attention on Cole and Sherron, making them unlikely...
"That was closer than it shoulda been..." -- Kansas 72 Iowa State 55
The fine folks over at Clone Chronicles, the SB Nation Iowa State blog, opened their OGT with the following little statement: Iowa State goes into Lawrence, Kansas tonight with absolutely no shot to win. Bet your children on it. When I read it, I didn't bat an eyelash. It just made sense....
"Showing Off the Youth" -- Kansas 60 Missouri 62
Editor's Note: Hey! Long-time, no-talk-to. My bad, it is pretty bad that I haven't put anything up since that dreadful Monday night. However, tomorrow should have everything-and-more, so I'll try and make it up to you. Five minutes, fifty-nine seconds are on the clock. Missouri has narrowed the...
"Bring on Missouri" -- Kansas 78 Oklahoma State 67
As soon as James Anderson's three went through as the time ticked to :00, I immediately began counting down the hours to Monday night, 8 PM CST (45 hours from publishing time, by the way). It's what all of us wanted to do all week; to begin looking forward to the biggest Big Monday so far. Quite...
"Our Guys Played Older Tonight" -- Kansas 75 Baylor 65
Young teams don't win games like that. They just don't. They go into half down double-digits, they don't come out on fire in the second, they let one of the best shooting teams in the country get open looks. They turn the ball over a bunch, they freak out at the noise, they disappear for...
