We need ucf to beat Smu to give them a 3rd loss.

 

[loca2874]

Houston beat temple on the road

South Carolina is getting smashed by Auburn

 

[loca2874]

Arkansas over Vanderbilt by 21

 

[loca2874]

Auburn won by 23

Oklahoma beats Kansas....No Phipps or Thompson in box score......... Two great shooters.

 

[dlsnid]

SMU looked really good it will be a tough game.

This is one of Self’s poorer teams. Not nearly at the talent level of past teams.

Kansas, Kentucky and Duke have been taking hits this year.

With the return of Jolly I believe this is the first time Jank has had a full roster. They are playing a little better on defense, but really the OSU transfer is a human eraser who turns a meh defense into above average.

They will be an issue. Memphis knocking of WSU was a surprise but I still think they're fifth. Right now it's probably Houston a step above, then SMU, WSU, and TU in some order. Memphis and UCF/Temple chasing down that second tier below houston, fighting for the other bye game in the conference tourney

I’d still take them as transfers. Can’t be worse than Haywood has been.

Houston took Grimes as a 5-star transfer from Kansas. He is doing OK for them.

Ton going on in that program right now. Pretty sure Self is going to head to the NBA end of the year. There is a good chance a legacy will be looking to come home.

Or to OSU or OU, since we weren’t in his top 5 and they were. However, It would be nice if he came to Tulsa.

South Carolina fell to a Q3 loss. Now both of the teams we played at the beginning of the season are Q3 losses.
