That win just keeps getting sexier and sexier. We beat a really good team when we beat Oklahoma.

Rankings are such a sham when you look at our RPI and wins against quality opponents.

I don't get the hate Arkansas is getting from the voters this season. Yeah, we have two bad losses. To make up for it we have a lot of good wins. But they seem to think we are about on par with Mid South Community College.

Unless the wheels come off or injuries start happening I saw two teams today that should be scary in NCAAT play. We should be getting more respect then we are getting.

I have no idea how we held Trae Young to "only" 28 points. We got him to turn the ball over and hit a ton of 3s, but still. OU is scary good this season.

Trae Young is fast but not physical... we can hang with that.

This. Barford eventually wore him down.

In other news, Wichita State struggled with UCONN for the majority of their game today.

So you are saying that they are likely an 8 seed or worse yet the lowest anyone at bracket matrix has them is a 6 seed?

TCU?

It’s their MO

They started something like 12-1 or close last season and laid a turd in conference play. They were unbeaten and ranked the season before last, then went on to win 2 or 3 games in league play.

History says they flop and it started today.

We just need to keep winning and don’t worry about rankings. We are a good team

It is still TCU

TCU hasn't had a winning season in conference play in 17 seasons.

TCU is really good this year, probably 4th best team in the Big XII. They were leading 95% of that game and should’ve won.

I will believe it when I see it. The point is, people have said that about TCU each of the last 3-4 seasons as well.

Sorry, but thats just not true. They started out with good records, but everyone knew they weren’t good, just played a terrible schedule. They weren’t ever ranked during those times. Last year they were picked last in the Big XII, the year before that 9th...this year they were picked 3rd. They have literally everyone back from the team that won the NIT.

Okay, I’m done defending TCU now. Carry-on
