BIG 12/SEC BBALL CHALLENGE


DevilDog

Recommended Posts

Good College BBall games on today.  The BIG12 is the consensus best Conference right now and today they get their chance to prove it or get exposed.

Some great players Trae Young from OU mini Step Curry vs. That Sexton kid from Bama:  If you haven't seen these kids check them out and Mo Bamba from Texas is a great Freshman.

I think the Big 12 goes 7-3 my predictions in Bold:  Though I believe that KSU can beat Ark on the road.   4 big 12 teams in top 15.   I think they made a mistake without having Auburn in this thing.

Predictions  15 teams from these 2 Conferences will make the Tournament. 

All times CST

#14 Texas Tech  (16-4, 1-3 away) @ South Carolina (13-7, 7-2 Home)     Underway

Baylor (12-8, 0-5 away) @ #20 Florida (14-6, 8-3 Home)                              

Ole Miss (11-9, 0-5 away) @ Texas (13-7, 9-2 Home) 1pm

Georgia (12-7, 3-4 away) @ (15-5, 10-2 Home) Kansas State 1pm

#12 Oklahoma (15-4, 2-3 away  @ Bama (13-7, 9-2 Home) 1:15pm

#22 Tennessee (14-5, 4-2 away) @ 11-8, 7-3 Home) Iowa State 3:00pm

TCU (15-5, 1-3 away) @ Vanderbilt (7-13, 7-5 Home) 3:00pm

TX A&M (13-7, 1-4 away) @ #5 Kansas (16-4, 9-3 Home) 3:15pm

Okie State (13-7, 0-4 away) @ Arkansas (14-6, 10-1 Home) 5pm

Scores                           

Florida 81 - Baylor 60

TX Tech 70 - South Carolina 63 

If UGA had a coach, they would have easily beaten K State! UGA had SIX points in the paint in the first half, and eight in the first five minutes of the second half, to take the lead! THEN, they go COMMATOSE and start trying for three pointers! They AIN'T a three point team! The only thing I can figure is Fox didn't wanna risk getting fouled, cause his team SUCKS at FT's!(65%)

Yea I was off by A few games.  I really blew it.  4-6

I said this going in: The BIG12 is the consensus best Conference right now and today they get their chance to prove it or get exposed. 

I don’t agree.  Just like in football bowl games, you can take any 2 conferences and a wide variance of results would occur depending on how they are matched up team for team.

The games were good.  The Big 12 was the #1 ranked Power Conference going in and was favored .   Losing 4-6 head up 5 at home 5 on the road is a pretty good way to judge the conferences.  I do agree matchups make a difference.  The SEC didn't have Auburn who is probably their best team.  TCU and OU blew it for the Big 12. 

The Horns kicked ass

I gotta agree here.  I just think the SEC is better than what people have given them credit for this last decade.    Just because they won this challenge doesn't mean they are better.    It does mean they are a decent conference though and shouldn't be dismissed like they normally are.

This is their 1st victory in 5 years of the Challenge Big 12 won 1st 3 and tied 5-5- last year.  SEC won 6-4 this year.  They were 4-4 against each other this season prior to the Challenge.  The games were very good.  I was at my girl's and WVU was killing Kentucky.  Stopped watching it and damn missed the comeback. 

These guys had a 7-3 Prediction as I did.  TCU surprised me.  Knew Bama had a chance with Sexton.  TCU lost their guard last week.

It's just hard as hell beating the middle of the pack teams at home.   Vandy has one of the biggest home court advantages.   Their court is elevated and their bench is on the two ends of the court.   The elevation causes depth perception issues big time.

I agree the Coach from Texas said the hardest thing in sports to win is College Basketball on the road and broke down why.

APPARENTLY, the THIRTEEN teams they have lost to don't find that court all that imposing! 7-13 going in!
