  • You're Officially On Fraud Watch, Longhorns

    Ben and Sam are back for what isn't the busiest week, but Big 12 men's hoops is starting to take shape now in the latter stages of non-conference. The guys discussed the following topics:

    • Texas continues to struggle against the better opponents of their non-conference schedule, get introduced to 'Fraud Watch'
    • Kansas remains the top dog (bird?) with a mostly (but not entirely) convincing rivalry win over Mizzou
    • Whatever the opposite of Fraud Watch is, the Oklahoma Sooners are firmly there
    • The guys disagree on K State
    • Houston looks ahead to their biggest non-conference test
    • Kansas gets a true road test against a name brand opponent who hasn't had name brand results

    • Post '23 Feast Week Big 12 MBB Talk & Big December Non-Conference Matchups

      After a Thanksgiving and fatherhood (congrats, Ben) break from recording, Ben and Sam are back to discuss the following Big 12 men's hoops topics of import:

      • Kansas is still the top dog in this league, but what weaknesses (if any) do they have?
      • Baylor and Houston still very much look like teams that can challenge the Jayhawks and are we now BYU believers?
      • Iowa St and K State are probably fine? Are we buying Cincy just yet?
      • Oklahoma State and West Virginia are definitely not fine
      • Looking ahead to the Big 12 MBB non-conf showdowns of the next week plus, including a quintet of incredible games this coming Saturday
