Amazing! I mean, did anyone see this team coming?<br /><br />Anyway, is this really a time for hand wringing? Even inside parentheses that just strikes me as wrong.<br /><br />We've got the current Big12 Player of the Week, who just turned in two monster games. We control our own fate in the conference race. And for some crazy reason this team keeps exceeding nearly everyone's expectations.<br /><br />Oh, and they're pretty fun to watch too!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12280053661380045494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024323.post-89246838775592750422012-02-12T16:31:10.062-06:002012-02-12T16:31:10.062-06:00And Withey-mania continues: 18, 20, and 7 vs. OSU....And Withey-mania continues: 18, 20, and 7 vs. OSU. Maybe we've finally got that third scoring threat. Also, he's leading the conference in blocks, with T-Rob leading in rebounds.<br /><br />Major, major trap game coming up now at the OCTAGON OF DOOM. And even after that, the murderer's row schedule continues, with Mizzou and two other tough road games still to go -- @ A&M and @ OSU. <br /><br />This is where Mizzou has the upper hand over us. They have only two tough road games left -- @ Kansas and @ A&M. Even assuming we beat the Tigers in a few weeks, we still probably need to win 2 out of those other 3 tough road games just to stay tied with them. (I'm still wringing my hands over that stupid loss in Ames -- if we lose the conference, that might have been the difference.)DGLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254846037455114337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23024323.post-25097077303426313912012-02-09T09:18:50.045-06:002012-02-09T09:18:50.045-06:00Interesting addendum in the KC Star on the 7-point...Interesting addendum in the KC Star on the 7-point play:<br /><br />"Withey shot the free throws after the flagrant foul not because he was fouled — anybody could have taken the free shots — but Self wanted to see how his percentage-leading free-throw shooter (87 percent) would do in that situation, with nobody in the lane. Withey missed the first and made the second. If the game were late and tight, Taylor likely would have taken them."<br /><br />Damn, so it could have been an 8-pointer! Withey's free throw shooting has been incredible this year, regardless.DGLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17254846037455114337noreply@blogger.com
