Big 12 Basketball 2015 - 2016

[dankrutka]

It appears that the Big 12 could be poised to have the top two teams in both major polls next week.

Iowa sends No. 1 Michigan State to first loss, never trails

OU has to get past Iowa State first. Huge game in Norman on Saturday.

Speaking of, looks like the OU-Iowa State game is sold out. Can't remember a game selling out at the LNC when school was still on break.

I'll believe it when I see the stands full. Fan support of Ou's top notch basketball program has been pretty pathetic.

Fan support of OSU's bottom notch basketball program has been pretty pathetic.

With Mike Holder as AD it will stay that way.

Check on that and KU beat Baylor today. Everything seems to be set for a huge 1 vs 2 showdown in Lawrence.

Was very full tonight.

Great win for the Sooners... They are the real deal this year.

[Jake]

OU vs Kansas is a gigantic game. Great win for the team tonight.

I was at the game sitting midway up in the lower bowl. When OU took the lead the crowd noise was the loudest I have heard since the Tubbs era. The LNC was rocking.

As someone who was there for all of the Tubbs era, I can attest that the LNC can be awesome in those kind of games.

[Tundra]

And just think a few years ago, they couldn't give a ticket away... it's great to have some OU bball back....

[zookeeper]

Nobody can rebuild a program like Lon Kruger. Best move the OU athletic department made in a long time.
What a great coach - does it with class, too.

It'll a actually be 1 vs 1 if you use the two polls.

[Roger S]

I'm just glad both teams are healthy coming into this game.

This is a special opportunity for me. Being a Kansan I definitely bleed Crimson & Royal Blue but having lived here my entire adult life, and attending many games at Lloyd Noble, I have adopted the Sooners as well. So seeing the two teams I follow get to play as the top two teams in the country has me stoked beyond belief and no matter who wins I come out happy.

Yes, the stakes aren't quite as high but it reminds me of when OU and KU played for the national championship. I'm hoping for a different outcome this time.

OU hasn't won in Lawrence in 22 years. Crazy but true. Huge game Monday night.

Well actually the Sooners swept the Jayhawks in Big 8 Conference play that year but I would, without a doubt, love to see these two teams playing each other for a National Championship again. =+)

I have tickets to the NCAA Tournament opening rounds here this year and I'm hoping both the Sooners and Jayhawks get to play their first two games here.

[ljbab728]

Not the result I was hoping for but you can't ask for much more that a 3 overtime game between the country's two best teams. Unless something changes, they should still be the 1 and 2 in the country.

[Dustin]

That was the best CBB game I have ever seen.

2007 OSU vs Texas at Gallagher Iba is a close 2nd.

[gopokes88]

Heck of a good game Sooners. Buddy hield with a 2007 Kd at osu esq performance. Ku showing some class giving hield an ovation

[dankrutka]

Incredible game. Buddy was amazing. Some really questionable down the stretch for Kansas, particularly on the inbounds when the ref failed to warn Selden to give 3 feet (which is standard and required) and then ignoring when he literally jumped over the line. It's a really basic call. Anyway, OU had plenty of chance to win and Kansas was bound to get calls down the stretch. This OU team is really good and can do some damage.

Ive watched a lot of basketball games. Tonights game in Lawrence may be the best I've seen this early in the season. I hate to agree with him but Barry Tramel said there wasnt a loser. #1 & #2 playing triple OT and it still coming down to a missed 3-pointer. No one has anything to be ashamed of. This game was as good as they get.

I also want to give a shout-out to the KU fans. Buddy Hield went to talk to the ESPN announcers and got a standing O. Those guys may not know diddly about football but they were classy hosts and knew they had seen one of the best basketball games in Big 12 history. Only a Sooner win could have made it any better but it was certainly no loss.

[Roger S]

I may be a little biased due to being a fan of both teams but it was the greatest basketball game I've ever seen..... Some bad calls both ways but the players left everything they had on the court and there really were no losers in that fieldhouse last night.

Being a KU fan is easy. We never have to rebuild. We just reload every year.... But I've followed this Sooner program through thick and thin and I've always looked for the positives, even during the most negative of times, when most of their fans disappeared on them... So I'm really proud to have watched this group of players mature and improve and become the best team in the nation.... And I really do think they are the best team... Maybe not the most talented, and definitely not the deepest, but when it comes to being a team you don't get much better than what Lon Kruger has at OU right now.

so having a bad team means the fans don't know anything about the game? lol

[BG918]

Sooners were so close, sucks they couldn't pull it out and put an end to the streak. What a game and the two meet again in Norman next month.

Pack the LNC this Saturday for K-State.
