Houston is at Cincinnati tonight on ESPNU at 6:00 CT. Would be a big win for the Cougars. Eat 'em up!

 

[TDs3nOut]

Game is on, bitches! Bearkats get stitches?

 

[LASports96]

Rarely do I disagree with you, but your "Game of the Day" is going to be a blowout. If it was Nova @ Marquette you'd have a chance.

I'm going with USC and UCLA as game of the day, even though nobody outside of PAC 12 country will likely be able to watch it (I haven't checked to see if it's on TV or not, just assuming)

[Texas Jefe]

as expected, the Big12 is shaping up to be a bloodbath. With each team playing the other twice, one at home/one on road, and the competitive teams, makes for a tough road.

as for Texas, believe with 14 games to go, something like 11 they will be the underdog; cant remember exactly what I heard, but believe 9 of next 10 (this was before the OSU game) are against top 12 in RPI, or something like that.

pretty brutal

 

[Wishbone]

Tough league! I'm glad we got our road visits to Kansas, Isu, and Osu out of the way.

Does being not good, thus the underdog, make the league brutal?

 

[Texas Jefe]

Does being not good, thus the underdog, make the league brutal?

I can see where someone would see that out of what I said- I should have written it more clearly.

It's brutal for Texas Longhorn folk.

But that point given, it's still a tough basketball league, for everyone in it, including the good teams.

 

[Texas Jefe]

Does being not good, thus the underdog, make the league brutal?

I cant say if it's a tougher league than anybody else, and dont really care if it is or is not. All I really care about is that it's a tough league for my team.

Brutal in fact.
