Texas get first conference win, beat Kansas State

Starting Big 12 play 0-2, tonight was a must-win game for the Longhorns. Running into Kansas State, they picked up a much-needed win,

Starting Big 12 play 0-2 with losses to Baylor and Oklahoma, tonight was a must-win game for head coach Shaka Smart and the Longhorns. Running into another struggling team in Kansas State, Texas picked up a much-needed win against the Wildcats, 64-50.

Matt Coleman led Texas in scoring, having 14 points. He added two rebounds and four assists. As a team, the Longhorns shot 49% from the field and 43.5% for behind the three-point line.

The three-point shooting was the difference in the game, as Texas made double the amount the Wildcats have. Making 10 threes, three of them came from Courtney Ramey, while Coleman, Jase Febres, and Kamaka Hepa added two each.

Texas’ defense was outstanding tonight as well, holding Kansas State to 50 points. That is the fewest amount they have scored all year, as they came into tonight averaging 65 points per game. Cartier Diarra was the only Wildcat player in double figures, scoring 14 points on 6-16 shooting.

If the Longhorns did not pick up a victory tonight, it would have been a rough rest of the month attempting to pick up their next conference game. Three of the next four Big 12 games will be on the road for Texas, traveling to Oklahoma State, West Virginia, and TCU. They will play host to Kansas and LSU in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.

Oklahoma opens Big 12 play with a 66-61 win over Kansas State

Oklahoma (10-3, 1-0) and Kansas State (7-6, 0-1) opened Big 12 play in the Lloyd Noble Center with a bang.

Oklahoma (10-3, 1-0) and Kansas State (7-6, 0-1) opened Big 12 play in the Lloyd Noble Center with a bang.

The Sooners, after trailing for much of the game clawed their way out of a 10-point deficit, shutting the Wildcats out in the last 3:45 to win 66-61.

“Any conference game is a good win,” Kruger said postgame.

Oklahoma did struggle shooting the ball once again but doubled their efforts defensively, holding K-State to 34.9% from the field.

Kristian Doolittle and Austin Reaves dominated the scoring for the Sooners, tallying 40 of Oklahoma’s 66 points.

“I was in a good rhythm,” Reaves said.

18 of his 21 points came in the second half.

“Doo kept us in the game for the first thirty minutes of the game, and if it weren’t for that, we might’ve been down 15 late. Doo kept us in it, we kept battling and our team came away with a good win.”

Oklahoma dominated the boards early holding a four rebound advantage at the half before the Wildcats began grabbing boards in the Sooners 2-3 zone.

Doolittle’s aggressiveness early allowed the Sooners to hang within striking range all afternoon.

Although not great shooting performances, the young backcourt featuring freshman De’Vion Harmon and sophomore Jamal Bieniemy were outstanding defensively.

With three steals between them, Bieniemy and Harmon allowed themselves to stay out of the way of the offense while still contributing by locking down their assignments.

Kruger pulled out a 2-3 zone inside the last five minutes to shut out Kansas State in the last 3:45.

“Jamal had one or two deflections in the middle of the zone when they were trying to get it into the middle and De’Vion had one or two,” Kruger said.

“So we just came up with some big steals there and it led to good things on the other end.”

Another huge factor was Oklahoma’s ability to get to the foul line. The Sooners were 23-29 from the charity stripe to K-State’s five of nine.

Oklahoma’s next game is Wednesday at Texas. The game can be viewed on ESPN2 at 8p.m. CT.

3 keys for Oklahoma against Kansas State

Oklahoma (9-3) and Kansas State (7-5) face-off to kickoff Big 12 play on Saturday. Here are three keys for the Sooners against the Wildcats.

Oklahoma (9-3) and Kansas State (7-5) face-off to kickoff Big 12 play on Saturday. The two clubs have been voted No. 8 and No. 9 in the Big 12 pre-season poll, giving both teams plenty of fuel to add to their respective fire.

Here are three keys for the Sooners as they open up conference play.

CONSTANT MOTION

The Sooners need to keep the ball in motion around the court to keep the Wildcats on their toes. Against UT-Rio Grande Valley, Oklahoma moved the ball efficiently for a season-high 21 assists as a team. If the Sooners can swing the ball around the arc, good shots are bound to make themselves appear.

ROLE PLAY

Oklahoma needs more than three guys to play well not just to beat Kansas State, but to beat anyone in the Big 12. Starters De’Vion Harmon and Jamal Bieniemy need to realize their role just as much as guys like Kur Kuath and Alondes Williams. Either make shots or get out of the way of someone who will. With Kristian Doolittle, Austin Reaves and Brady Manek all in the top-10 of Big 12 scorers, everyone else needs to buy into their role.

PLAY CLEAN

Yes, both teams were predicted towards the bottom of the conference but the Sooners have more talent. If Oklahoma can keep the Wildcats off the foul line and force misses from the three-point line, the Sooners should be in good shape come the final four minutes.

The Sooners tip-off against Kansas State at 12:00p.m. CT on ESPN+.

Oklahoma (9-3) opens Big 12 play by hosting Kansas State (7-5) at the Lloyd Noble Center.

The Sooners come off a slow start to the season, capping off non-conference play with two drastically different wins over UCF and Texas Rio Grande Valley.

The Sooners and Wildcats can be seen on ESPN+ Big 12 NOW, the Big 12 conference’s streaming service that launches this past fall.

Both Kansas State and Oklahoma have been predicted to be bottom feeders of the Big 12 with the two teams coming in at No. 8 and No. 9 respectively in the pre-season Big 12 poll.

After making a run in the NCAA Tournament, the Wildcats are in a rebuilding year. As for the Sooners, they are also in their rebuilding year but much further along in the process thanks to Kristian Doolittle, Brady Manek and Austin Reaves all being in the top-10 in Big 12 scoring.

Enjoy your Sunday.

Notre Dame Football: Ranking Potential Bowl Game Opponents

Finally the biggest draw in the Big XII comes up on our breakdown.  Is Texas back?

In one of the worst kept secrets in college football at this point, we sit and wait to act surprised when on Sunday we will all officially find out that No. 15 Notre Dame will be headed to play a Big XII opponent in the 2019 Camping World Bowl.

That means a trip to Orlando but who the Irish play in the game is still very much up in the air for multiple different reasons.

For one – Oklahoma and Baylor both right now sit at six and seven in the College Football Playoff rankings respectively, with both still being very much alive for a potential New Year’s Six Bowl game berth if they are to fall in Saturday’s conference championship.

That’s important because it would change the Alamo automatically getting whoever loses and instead, give the bowl the chance to pick which of the 5-4 Big XII teams it would like, as Kansas State, Iowa State, Oklahoma State and Texas all finished in a tie for third place after all going 5-4 in conference play.

It got me wondering though – who should Notre Dame fans be rooting for to play?

I get that some Irish fans will have a family or friend that is connected to one of the schools that will make that their obvious choice, but for everyone who doesn’t, what are you rooting for to happen?

A quick look at the potential match-ups, one at a time.

Latest Bowl Projections: Upsets Effect Notre Dame at All?

So what does it mean for Notre Dame? Are the chances of getting to a New Years Six Bowl different after last week?

With potential College Football Playoff teams Oregon and Penn State losing over the weekend some folks at Alabama, Baylor and Oklahoma got excited about their potential chances for making the playoff.

So what does it mean for Notre Dame? Are the chances of getting to a New Years Six Bowl different after last week? Here’s what the experts have happening for Notre Dame after the conclusion of week 13.

The eight sources we get them from don’t all have them posted yet but here’s what we have as of early Sunday evening:

247Sports (Brad Crawford):

Camping World Bowl vs. Texas

CBS (Jerry Palm):

Camping World Bowl vs. Texas

College Football News (Pete Fiutak):

Camping World Bowl vs. Oklahoma State

ESPN (Bonagura & Schlabach both):

Camping World Bowl vs. Oklahoma State

Sporting News (Bill Bender):

Camping World Bowl vs. Kansas State

It wouldn’t appear what happened yesterday was good for Notre Dame’s chances at a New Year’s Six Bowl. The way things sit now it would appear they’re headed to Orlando for the former Blockbuster turned Carquest turned MicronPC turned Mazda turned Champ Sports turned Russell Athletic turned Camping World Bowl.

How does Notre Dame get to Dallas instead? Douglas Farmer from NBC Sports did a good job creating a path.

It’s possible no-doubt but with the CFP Committee making clear last week how much they value results against common opponents (something I hate) I have trouble seeing how Notre Dame gets past Penn State who won against Michigan compared to the Irish who got rolled in Ann Arbor.
