Nebraska does appear like they could make the tournament. Good for you guys.

The more the merrier.

McBuckets has 18 with 5 minutes left in the 1st half vs. Nova.

@GaryBedore: Embiid as expected practiced full speed today

Kansas 7-foot freshman Joel Embiid is expected to return Tuesday night at Texas Tech.

Jayhawks coach Bill Self told ESPN that Embiid, who sat out Saturday's win over TCU, practiced full-speed on Sunday.

"He should play on Tuesday," Self said.

Embiid has been dealing with a nagging knee injury, and then suffered a back injury in the final minutes against West Virginia on Feb. 8. Self told ESPN an MRI "didn't come back with anything major."

Embiid is averaging 10.7 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 blocks per game. He is considered the frontrunner to be taken first in June's NBA Draft -- if he elects to leave college after this season.

Kansas is 19-6 and 10-2 in Big 12 play.

Good deal. I know Tech isn't the cakewalk that TCU proved to be, but it's not paramount that he plays his regular minutes is it?

Good for NU. I'd be down for that.

They're coming on strong. It's not gonna be easy. Tubby has done a great job.

FYI, KenPom has us as 5 point favs.

If they want to win, it probably is. Tech has been playing at the quality of a tournament team over the last few weeks.

And honestly, if he's not capable of playing his regular minutes yet, he probably shouldn't be playing at all Tuesday.

Yeah, I just wasn't sure if it was a game he could ease back into.

Doesn't sound like it. I'm sure he's fine if Self says so, but I just know how our NC hopes hang on his well-being so I'm a bit worried.

Texas Tech has been on TV a lot. Good team won't be an easy game KU has a rough time in Lubbock. Dunno why Minnesota ever got rid of Tubby.

Speaking of the Big 12 tournament, it looks like the conference is is giving away 2 tickets to a lucky winner of a contest. You have to follow the Big 12 on twitter. Once they get 100,000 followers there will be a drawing. I know the odds aren't great, but, just in case anyone wants to do it here you can go here to give it a whirl. http://instagram.com/p/kPedehDXBW/

Thank god Orr won't be there to call Wiggins a piece of crap. I mean, no player would ever be able to handle such harassment and be able to shoot the basketball in the hoop. We really dodged a bullet on this one guys. Thank Marcus Smart

Don't worry, I'm sure there will be more than enough slurs being thrown around in Lubbock to make up for it.

Ive been to hundreds and hundreds of sporting events. Ive never once heard anybody yell or say a racial slur. Not saying it doesnt happen, but sure seems like an odd thing to do if you are a fan of sports and both teams are predominantly black.
