Should be a stroll in the park for Kansas ... but ...

#3 Kansas is the ONLY Top 25 team listed on the schedule Monday. Vs. Oklahoma State in Stillwater. Oklahoma State at 0-6 is the only winless team in Big 12 games so a Cowboys victory would be a MAJOR upset. But remember Kansas State vs. WVU!


It’s the only Big 12 game till Wednesday, when #14 WVU visits #18 Texas Tech at 8 pm on ESPN+, Texas goes to TCU at 8 p.m. on ESPN+, Oklahoma visits Kansas State at 8 pm on ESPN+ and #1 Baylor goes to Iowa State at 9 pm on ESPNU.



Sure glad I paid $4.95 a month for ESPN+ I get a Big 12 tripleheader Wednesday!



Even though Texas Tech is ranked #18 the Red Raiders are tied with Oklahoma for FIFTH in the Big 12. Tough conference!



#1 Baylor is first at 6-0.



#3 Kansas is 2nd at 5-1.



#14 West Virginia is tied with TCU for 3rd at 4-2. (Damn Kansas State pratfall!).


OK, Huggins Heroes, crank up the Pitbull Defense and make the Red Raiders turn blue because they're too exhausted to get oxygen into their lungs!

Kansas by 20 plus.
Sounds logical … till they tip off; then, who knows? Ask WVU about Kansas State. No way K-State beats Huggins Heroes, right? Not if we're being logical BEFORE the tipoff. But this is college basketball where last week, FOR THE FIRST TIME this season, NO Top 10 team lost a game! Unpredictable is the most predictable thing about college basketball!

Pretty well called it.

I didn't see ANY category of basketball where the Cowboys looked even average.

Shootings, rebounding, passing. Nothing team.

And against a Kansas team with only 7 bonafide players available after the brawl with Kansas State!

Cowboys have a huge mountain to climb this season. Much like WVU had last season.

They come to Morgantown February 18. How did WVU win only 55-41 in Stillwater? What changed with the Cowboys? They didn't look anything like the team that Huggins Heroes played in Stillwater.

It's a puzzlement.

But, more important, can WVU rip into Texas Tech in Morgantown on Wednesday? !

It's obvious you didn't watch the WVU - Okie game to close. They won by 14 with a dominating defense. OSU shot 5% from 3 and 29.2% on FG. Having poor foul shooting and 20 turnovers stop this game from being a 30 point win.

The game was a win. We're 6 games into conference schedule. With 6 home games and 6 road games I would gladly take 6-0 at home and 3-3 on the road for a 25-6 regular season record.
