I was listening to Doug Gottlieb on the way to work, and he used the term "eviscerated" when referring to how the Big 12 was treated on Selection Sunday.  He said that Texas deserved a #2, but then went ahead and picked them to advance to the final 4 anyway :)

[quote name="ForeverADog" post="982296" timestamp="1300055082"] Texas a 4?! Wow! [/quote] They got hosed.  They were saying they were a #1 seed if they beat Kansas when they were talking last night.  I would've been okay with a #3 because of their recent form, but their overall body of work deserves a #2.

Anybody notice the last couple of games that Balbay's only been playing a few minutes a game?

yup.  Texas gonna lose this one.  I thought they showed a lot more heart and had a better effort in the 2nd half.  I'm guessing a 2 seed for Texas, but wouldn't be shocked with a 3.

quick response from Kansas.  I though J'Covan got fouled there... no call, but he got hurt.

with 8 to go the horns have rallied to cut it to 8.

[quote name="Scooter!" post="982066" timestamp="1299976743"] BS call on Thompson .......he clearly dunked on him. period [/quote] I was getting on here to say that the officials had been evening things out, until Thomas picked up that bogus foul.  the putback would've cut the lead to 10, instead stayed at 12 and he's off the court with 4 fouls.

Horns look bad, down 15 at the half.  Of course, we've seen this show before.  Hopefully they can find a way to bounce back again.

Gary Johnson is taking terrible shots for the Horns, and they've been slow on defense.  The good news is that the Horns have back against the Gayhawks before.

as i typed that the officials miss a goal tending and two fouls :)

Texas is down 16 to Kansas.  Texas has looked bad, but they sure aren't getting any help from the refs.  The Morris twins are raping anyone who gets near the paint with no call, but Tristan Thomas is on the bench for Texas with two ticky tack fouls.  I might also add that the Morris twins appear to be a couple of douchebags, just judging by their actions before and during the game.

I feel like making the Big 12 finals with another win against aTm has most likely locked up a #2 seed for the horns and has guaranteed them at least a #3, regardless of what happens tonight.  However, if they beat KU again, they might have an outside chance at a #1 seed.  Pitt is a lock, and Ohio St is a lock.  If Duke wins the ACC they're a lock.  That leaves UT against Kansas (who they would have beaten twice), Notre Dame, Purdue, and whoever wins against BYU and SDSU for the final spot, again all this only the scenario that UT beats KU tonight.  My gut still says that ND is going to get the 4th spot, unless UNC beats Duke, then they might get it.  Lots of different scenarios.  I know many basketball people give Texas credit for their quality wins and the difficulty of their schedule, so that could play a factor.

[quote name="hornet06" post="981643" timestamp="1299903273"] Looks like A&M is playing with the sippies... IMO Texas is way overrated... [/quote] If this is the case, then the Aggies SUCK BAD!  In actuality, Texas is one of the best teams in the country, as their wins against the following teams indicate: Texas atm Texas atm Texas atm Kansas @ Kansas North Carolina Mizzouri Michigan St. They also lost to UCONN and PITT by a total of 3 points. Illinois

I talked to the ref, and Jasper won.  don't know the score, though.

I watched the tape, and I'd say between the clock being started late and the shot being let go after the buzzer that they might have gained a full second on that play.  For him to catch the pass running towards the sideline, either take a couple of dribbles or many steps (couldn't tell from the tape) and then pass to a teammate who then took a step-back 3 with a fully extended jumpshot (and with a VERY slow release), i'd think it'd take well over 3 seconds to accomplish that. 

Texas hasn't been playing all that well lately, but have won a couple in a row.  I'd like to see them pound the Ags and get back on a roll again.

any chance of someone posting the video?

dang, that sucks.  still, they were up 8 with a couple of minutes to play and couldn't put it away.  they should have never given the refs a chance to screw them.
