West Virginia is a basketball team. A very solid basketball team, in fact. A team whose hallmark is to press the life out of opponents. A team that scores easy baskets off turnovers. A team that makes its fans cringe when it clangs jump shots off odd parts of the backboard. The Mountaineers started 4-0 in Big 12 play playing the good ol’ West Virginia way before losing back-to-back games at Oklahoma and at home to Texas. In the four games since those defeats, it appears that we’re seeing a different West Virginia team. Not only have the Mountaineers gone 3-1 in that span, but [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2016/02/05/big-12-power-rankings-west-virginia-is-finally-here-edition/feed/ 0 Big 12 M5: 11.17.14 Edition http://rushthecourt.net/2014/11/17/big-12-m5-11-17-14-edition/ http://rushthecourt.net/2014/11/17/big-12-m5-11-17-14-edition/#respond Mon, 17 Nov 2014 15:01:43 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=106103

Oklahoma finally got resolution to a major question mark heading into the season when TaShawn Thomas was declared immediately eligible by the NCAA on Saturday night. Thomas nearly did it all in his three years at Houston as a scorer, rebounder and shot-blocker. Now that he will play alongside Ryan Spangler, these two will make yet another lethal frontcourt in the Big 12. On paper alone, one could make arguments as to why Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas and Iowa State each have legitimate chances of making a run to this year’s Final Four. Last week, we previewed a Texas team facing a potential dilemma in bringing back most of its core [...]]]>

Big 12 Season Preview: Texas Tech Red Raiders http://rushthecourt.net/2014/10/22/big-12-season-preview-texas-tech-red-raiders/ http://rushthecourt.net/2014/10/22/big-12-season-preview-texas-tech-red-raiders/#respond Wed, 22 Oct 2014 18:01:55 +0000 http://rushthecourt.net/?p=105423

The Big 12 microsite will preview each of its teams over the next few weeks, starting today with Texas Tech. 

Texas Tech Red Raiders

Building a tournament contender — heck, a semi-competitive one — is hard to do when a scandal and mass exodus of players occur anywhere, but especially at Texas Tech. Tubby Smith was hired a season ago to bring stability to this teetering program, and he did just that. The undermanned Red Raiders showed some signs of life in conference play, scoring wins against Baylor, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Texas and were two seconds away from picking off Kansas. But then the season [...]]]> http://rushthecourt.net/2014/10/22/big-12-season-preview-texas-tech-red-raiders/feed/ 0
