Saturday's game has a ton of stories. We are playing to get off the NCAA tourney bubble (some think the Baylor win makes it a lock, but Joe Lunardi hasn't updated his bracket in 4 days so we can't be sure [what the hell else does this guy have to do? 34 basketball games have been played since the last time he got off his ass]). KU is playing for a conference championship. Turge is facing a the school he played for and coached (under Larry Brown and Roy Williams). It is our senior night. Given all of that, what is Turge is just hoping "it’s a really big game every year." Kind of anti-climactic.

In other news...

In a phone conversation with the four letter network Baylor head coach Scott Drew that

he was told Jones stood over Carter, who was crumbled to the floor, and said "stay down [bleep]."... Drew also said he felt Jones dipped his shoulder when setting the screen that Carter didn't see at midcourt.

Check the video out below. 1) Joe in no way stood over him. After setting the screen, he turned and jogged to the basket. No move was made toward Carter. 2) Who heard Joe say "stay down [bleep]"? No one was around him. The closest guy was waiting to check in and he didn't even flinch. 3) Carter is 5'10'', Joe is 6'9''. That difference in height would require some serious shoulder dipping by Joe. I don't see it.



Way to stoke the fire Drew.
