what no OSU hate? you guys are really slacking.

Rofl I think the coach was glad they got a loss over with, although wisconson simply could not miss. They did the typical... were leading by 15 lets get LAZY! and it backfired finally...

I don't speak for everyone, but I saw that loss coming. So, since it wasn't surprising, no reason for hate.

Most of those that really pay attention to Longhorn basketball were concerned about the underachieving Baylor team. They beat us 3 times last season (including back to back beat downs to end the regular season and eliminate us from the B12 tourney). They've been doing a heck of a job recruiting lately and they've got quality athletes. They play a zone that we have a history of struggling with.

The wifey bought us some bad ass tickets to the game about 60' from the floor right next to the student section, so that was a lot of fun.

We were brilliant in the 1st half and for the first time this year, let a team get back in it in the 2nd half. Of course, it required Baylor's best player to hit 2 highly contested 3's to make it a game and we still won by 9... But there was definitely a pucker moment in there and our players had to play smart at the end because we weren't hitting our free throws or 3's. Our interior D looked uncharacteristically soft. It appeared as though Baylor was bringing their big men outside, causing Tristan Thompson to leave the lane, and letting their guards post our guards up.

I'm anxious to see if any other teams can exploit what Baylor discovered or if we adapt. We also had a couple players appear to suffer minor injuries (Dogus Balbay, neck and J'Covan Brown, knee). They both played sparingly after being injured, so hopefully it's nothing too serious.

I'm a little late to the party, but I called this a long time ago. Not here though. Someone at work was saying something about OSU being so good and I told them that they would lost to Wisconsin, no doubt. Should have put money on it.

sPitt went down to SJU today which is absolutely hilarious. And WVU finally played WVU ball and took it to ND.

Just got back from manila and find out the Lobos lost three in a row, including a buzzer better at home to fricken Utah. Unacceptable.

It's cause you weren't here to cheer them on.

How was Manila? Did you beat Frazier?

Fun game to watch, even if we did struggle in every facet of the game.

I was sitting at home watching it with my Dad... With ~2:40 to go, we're down 11 and I go, "Isn't it Nebraska's destiny to lose this game?" ... 40 seconds later, we're tied and I'm laughing so hard.

We had multiple opportunities to pull it out, but in the end, when you're best shooter goes 3 of 16, and at one point, Nebraska was shooting like 75% from the field in the 2nd half... Yeah. Stars aligned for Nebraska and it gave Texas a lot to work on. With 4 games to go, this was about as good a time as any to lose and start fresh.
