And Missouri remembers it's Missouri, bombing against K-State. Again.

Tiggers 0-3 this season vs. the Wildcats in football and basketball.

Fucking inexcusable. Entirely fucking predictable.

I was disappointed to see that, too, because I wanted to see KU-Mizzou on Saturday with as much at stake as possible. I know it's going to be crazy anywhere, but the thought that the game would be between two teams tied atop the conference ... that doesn't always happen in this rivalry so late in the season.

As it is, if KU wins tomorrow night at Texas A&M, I like the thought that KU could win Saturday and build a two-game advantage on Mizzou with two games left on the Big 12 schedule, meaning the inside track on a No. 1 seed.

Allen Fieldhouse will be eardrum-popping loud, even with the Missouri loss last night. Even if Kansas wins tonight, still a ton at stake Saturday.

I don't think I'm being hyperbolic when I say it has potential to be the loudest college basketball game ever.

And Northwestern remembers that it's Northwestern, blowing a winnable game against a ranked team at home in the second half and then getting boatraced in OT - with their first-ever NCAA bid likely hanging in the balance.

I know it's Northwestern, but it's still the Big Ten. Making the NCAA Tournament out of the Big Ten isn't THAT hard. Bill Carmody has had 13 seasons to do it and hasn't gotten it done. When will enough be enough there?

It didn't help their cause that this year's Big Ten is clearly the strongest top-to-bottom conference in the country THIS SEASON, and there's no debate about it.

Good point. Even teams in the bottom half of the league -- NW, Minnesota, (gasp!) Iowa -- have played well at times, especially at home.

Illinois might be the worst team in the Big 10 at this point.

Northwestern DID beat Michigan State . . . don't tell anybody. They still don't belong in the Show unless they wind up .500 in the circuit (and the conference tournament should count, towards that), but it is what it is.

Murray State able to avenge its only loss of season, to Tennessee State, and it looks like a 30-win season will eventually come to pass.
It's not just the color commentator who thinks this is a team that should be able to win two games in the tourney and make the Sweet 16.

Pat Knight goes off on his team -- especially the seniors -- after a loss. The parts I like best: Knight's criticism of society in general; and how he talks about what happens in the "real world." The only jobs he's ever had have been in basketball. I'm not sure how much of the real world he understands.

Pat Knight would be better off going the route of Jeff Capel and return to assistant coaching.

He can't. His dad's retired.

Anyone else catch the BYU-Gonzaga game last night and hear the semi-sober tones of SportsJournalists.com fave "Burnt Hamburger" calling the action?

Although it was just on in the background as we were working, at one point I heard Brent rambling on about how Mark Few has stayed at Gonzaga because he loves fishing in the wilds of western Montana.

At least he didn't bust out, "This one's for all the Tostitos" as Robert Sacre missed yet another layup.

Nebraska and Penn State agree wholeheartedly.

This one is straight from "One Flew over the Cuckoo's Nest" --- What the hell is he talking about? Yeah, we get it - the seniors aren't acting like leaders but ripping on them for missing shots? Really?

Pat has a long way to go before like his dad.
