SEC Six Big12 Four in hoops challenge 012922 and onward

 How has Bama lost a game? Impressive win over Baylor. The Iron Bowl (ALA/AUB) is a big deal in hoops, too
Sooners' coach Moser may ask the nuns of Loyola-Chicago to pray for him.
You never know which LSU, Miss St, and OK St squads will show up.
TX HC Beard wins the "Barnes bowl", and his former team Texas Tech hasn't missed a beat since he left.
Calipari is back and Huggy(WV) is fading, despite giving Musselman's Razorbacks a battle.
More Self-analysis for the Jayhawks.

Since the B12 has four less teams than the SEC, Vandy beat Georgia were left out of yesterday events b
The Buzz has faded @ TAMU who lost to South Carolina.  I shook my head when the Ags hired Buzz Williams away from VTech a few years ago.

After Saturday games I thought Baylor would crush West Virginia, but Huggy's guys lost the lead after Taz Sherman(29 points) left the game due to a concussion.  BAY 81 WV 77.
Damion Baugh(20 PTS, 8 REB, 1 AST) helped TCU pull away from the Sooners late. TCU 72  OK 63. Two teams headed in different directions.
Feb 2, 2022
"Iron Bowl" hoops started with some poor shooting and the refs swallowing their whistles for both sides, but Auburn played some D and pulled away late in the first half. AUB 100 Bama 81
Elsewhere in the SEC: Tennessee bounced back with a win over TAMU, and Ol Miss beat slumping LSU. Miss St got a much needed win, beating the Gamecocks 78-64.

In Big 12 action Texas Tech shaved the Beard in Austin. TT 77 TX 64, while Kansas bounced back well from the loss to Kentucky by beating Iowa St 70-61 despite a solid night for Izaiah Brockington(ISU - G  24 PTS, 8 REB, 3 AST)
Feb 3, 2022
He!! of an effort from Scotty Pippen Jr.(VAN - G  33 PTS, 6 REB, 5 AS), but UK hung on . UK 77 VAN 70.
Nijel Pack (KSU - G 22 PTS, 3 REB, 2 AST) was a key factor in the Wildcats win over OK St in this bubble matchup. K St 71 OK St 68
Feb 6, 2022
What a difference a week makes? Bama lost to UK and Baylor lost by a ton to Kansas. Auburn barely beat cellar dweller GA. LSU lost to Vandy again. Is Stackhouse's crew going to make a run?
Feb 8, 2022
 I couldn't keep my eyes open for the second half of TX win over Kansas. Nice move by Beard early in the game to feed the big men down low. Timmy Allen TEX - F
24 PTS, 9 REB, 1 AST 
Feb 9, 2022
Arkansas won its 9th straight game, a huge OT win over Auburn last night.
Feb 10, 2022
Gibson scores 30 as Oklahoma(14-10, 4-7 CONF) upsets No. 9 Texas Tech 70-55. I'm sure Sooners' fans are still wondering about hiring Porter Moser from Loyola of Chicago as they remain on the bubble.
Feb 16, 2022
Vols are on a nice roll in February. Big upset of Kentucky last night. 
Ol Miss crumble continues with L to South Carolina.
Beard shaved off a two-point OT win in a Red River battle. TX 80 OK 78
Feb 23, 2022
Scotty's kid nearly rolled the Tide last night. Pippen Jr. VANDY 26 PTS 2 REB 6 AST. Ark beat FLA.  Moser continues to struggle at OK.  TT 66 OK 42
Feb 28, 2022
After what I saw yesterday in B10 action, the conference may be fifth among the power 5 conferences. I loved Ayala leading the Terps to a 75-60 win over the Buckeyes and was laughing at Nebraska killing PennSt a few days after Nebraska(8-21, 2-16) said they were keeping Coach Holberg. Every season the B10 gets more than their share of Dance tickets.
Illinois beat Michigan and Indiana beat Minnesota.
March 2, 2022
Two in a row for Nebraska. NEB 78 Ohio St 70. Plus, Wisky beat Purdue in B10 action.  In the B12 TCU knocked off Kansas.
March 3, 2022
Terps win again. This time it was Minnesota. I suspect Danny Manning wants the interim term removed. Manning's replacement at Wake Forest, Steve Forbes, has the Deacons in gear for the ACCT. They crushed NC St last night.
March 6, 2022
Another wild Saturday. SEC : LSU  beats Bama. Tenn  cools off Arkansas. TAMU beat Miss St and may have crept onto the bubble. That's what I get for criticizing Buzzcut.
Big 12:  OK St edged TT. Huggy's guys climb out of the cellar and beat Jamie Dixon's TCU squad. It takes me back to the Big East WVA/Pitt matchups when Dixon was the Pitt HC.
ACC: UNC spoils Coach K's day. It couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. BTW, it's difficult for me to root for any Tobacco Road team.
March 7, 2022
I noticed that Nebraska won again which hurt  Wisky. Funny how that vote of confidence for Hoiberg has sparked the Huskers.
March 10, 2022
Wake Forest loss to BC in the ACCT probably nixes its Dance chances. Deacons needed to win at least one game. Is Huggy going to stir the Big 12 pot. WV beat KST. Cuse  beat FSU by 39. Is Boeheim  going to be crying for another ticket? I suspect losing his son Buddy for one game for the punch will hurt him today against Duke.
March 13, 2022
Vols/Ags in the SECT final. Then VA Tech jumped off the bubble beating Duke in the ACCT. This will reverberate through the Dance committee this afternoon.
Plus, I hope they don't do their annual normal and selecting too many Big 10 teams.
March 21, 2022
Three ACC teams, Miami, UNC, and Duke, in the Sweet 16. Laranaga still has some magic left  from from 2006 when he took GW (Colonial, at the time) to to the F4.
March 25, 2022
''40 Minutes of Hell,'' returned for Arkansas in the win over the Zags . I have them in the F4. I had Texas Tech in the F4 but they lost to Duke. Also have Nova in the F4. The damn Auburn pick to win it all haunts me.
March 27,2022
Duke moves on to P4. I'm on the anybody but Duke train which may mean rooting for UNC. Tobacco road choices are so difficult for a life-long Terps' fan.
April 3, 2022
 LSU has no scholarship player remaining from its 2021/22 team.
Aug 12, 2022
St Peters upsets still haunts. I love a Cats-fight . Stoops/Calipari
# 4straightpostseasonwins.  UK's football program winning the Citrus Bowl in 2018, Belk Bowl in 2019, Gator Bowl in 2020 and Citrus Bowl again in 2021. What is also highlights is how UK's basketball program hasn't won a postseason game since 2019, most recently losing to Saint Peter's in the first round of the 2022 NCAA Tournament after going 9-16 in the 2020-21 season and missing the 2021 NCAA Tournament.
