0. Zero--that's the number of undefeated teams in conference play across the country. Both Texas, which had been undefeated in Big 12 play, and Princeton, undefeated in the Ivy, lost yesterday.
1. Missouri picked up conference road win one yesterday after having lost its prior five league games away from Mizzou Arena. The Tigers are now 7-5 in the Big 12.
3. Jordan Hamilton of Texas scored 18 in Texas' lost to Nebraska, but only had three made shots from the field. Hamilton went 3 of 16 and 9 for 11 from the free throw stripe.
4. The four primary contenders for number one seeds in the NCAA Tournament--Kansas, Ohio State, Pittsburgh and Texas--all lost this week.
21. Missouri State star Kyle Weems needed 21 shots to get his 17 points as the Bears lost a BracketBuster game to Valparaiso.
26. It was a tale of two games for Markieff Morris of Kansas. After scoring three points with no rebounds on Monday against Kansas State, Morris had 26 points and 15 rebounds against Colorado yesterday.
65. Do you think Jacob Pullen will be voted player of the week in the Big 12? The Kansas State guard has scored 65 points in two victories for the Wildcats--38 against Kansas on Monday and 27 against Oklahoma on Saturday.
Finally, our quote of the day from yesterday has to be Mario Chalmers, who was one of four ex-Jayhawks who spoke to this year's Kansas squad after the Colorado game. Said Chalmers to the 2010-2011 team: "Yeah, you're fun to watch, but you don't guard anybody." Hmm--think Coach Bill Self didn't provide Chalmers some talking points prior to the post-game appearance?
