Up two in each poll, which has my father incensed. I’m sorry to keep talking about him, but he’s all riled up. Can’t understand why A&M is still ahead of the Wildcats, cursing about it in front of my nephews. God bless him.
I don’t have any other reaction than, “Hey, K-State is still ranked.” In college basketball, rankings do not matter. Thoughts?
Random musings from Monday’s Big 12 coaches’ teleconference call:
A.J. Abrams reminds Kansas coach Bill Self - from a size standpoint and probably because of that ridiculous compression arm sleeve - of Allen Iverson. “He’s going to get looks,” Self said of the Texas guard. “You hope he doesn’t shoot a high percentage.”
MORE coaching philosophy: “It’s a fine line between winning and losing,” Texas A&M coach Mark Turgeon said. His point was, his team isn’t so much better or worse than the rest of the Big 12, so it’s the little things that will define the Aggies. After a recent skid, A&M has gotten hot. “We kind of came together,” Turgeon said. “We have gotten a lot better. More confidence, more poise…”
FRESH off Saturday’s spanking at Bramlage Coliseum, Oklahoma State coach Sean Sutton insisted his kids were fine. “We didn’t play well Saturday night, and K-State had a lot to do with it,” he said. “K-State is a very good basketball team. They dominated us in the second half… Our guys didn’t fight.”
