KenPom predicted a one-point win by Michigan at home versus #3 Maryland.  Every Michigan analysis told KenPom "go home, you're drunk" because Michigan was missing its best player and Maryland's only loss was an away game at North Carolina.

Turns out KenPom's formula is more accurate than any of the humans, because Michigan put Maryland away, 70-67.  Sure, it is mostly chance that the formula was more accurate in this one case, but it is amusing because of all the crow being eaten this morning.

Arizona is terrible, tied for second to last in the conference, almost certainly has no shot at the tournament at this rate, and Miller is likely to be fired.

Great win for WVU and Huggs last night.

The Big 12 is ridiculous in Basketball. Every game is a war.

And WVU gets to face #2 (now de facto #1) Oklahoma this weekend.  Yowza.

Yeah. Texas will be lucky to get into the NIT in this league. Especially since as soon as I got excited about this season their indispensable player injured himself in practice. Allen Iverson had it right.

I think Texas is a pretty easy tournament pick unless they completely implode.  But yeah, playing through a Big 12 schedule is just brutal. 

I had the WVU - Iowa State game marked as a loss before it started last night.  WVU hadn't been playing well, teams seemed to have their press figured out and everything just looked stacked against them.  Started out rough but WVU pulled it out, thanks to Devin Williams regaining his mojo (17 points, 18 rebounds).  So they win a tough game against the #13 team, and now they get to play #15 Baylor.  After that they get to play #7 Kansas again, which will be seeking revenge.  If WVU goes 5-4 in their last 9 games, I'll be ecstatic.

I think Barnes got me accustomed to Texas falling apart in conference. And then they lost their best player.

But they are going crazy now, guys who I thought were empty uniforms are suddenly contributing big time. I am not even sure what to think but I am starting to feel that this team might be special. I am going to make sure to go to the Baylor game in a few weeks so I can at least see them one more time before whatever their destiny is plays out.

Wyoming is too young.  Despite having the 5th best individual scorer in the country, or because of that, the team just can't get it done.  Freshmen and sophomores everywhere.  Oh well, at least I have last year to cling to for a few years.

I think I had them sneaking into the Sweet 16 in one of my brackets last year.  THEY FAILED ME :P

UWyo hasn't been to the Sweet 16 since the late 1980s.  Shame on you.

So I went to see Texas play Texas Tech this saturday because they gave me a discount for attending the Baseball preseason event I always attend...so I did. Wow this team is impressive even more so in person. I left feeling really good but then I looked it up and out of the remaining 7 games Texas has left in the regular season 6 of them are against teams in the top 15...and the other one is a road game at Kansas State which just upset #1 Oklahoma.

Damn this conference is nuts.

So Nova is in town to face Xavier.  #1 vs. #5.  A month ago I turned down a couple tickets at face value.  Yeah.
