Starting this one early.

Anyone want to make some predictions?

Let me try and channel Panic:

"We won't lose another GD game"

"I hate Frank Haith"

That covers it

I've just learned using the term heartland is a racial slur & cannot be used. SMH.... so proceed at your own risk.

Shoot. I'm probably a racial slur just for existing at this point.

Oklahoma and Kansas have more guns than the PC police so no biggie.

At least we don't call it "Motherland" or "Fatherland"....

If some politicians have their way, you might.

Please tell me you are joking. But you probably aren't.

I think WSU wins, but won't predict by how much. I'll take a one point victory.

Nope, the truth - has been discussed on the mainstream media related to the Iowa primary where one or more of the candidates have referred to votes in the "heartland" and have been slammed by other candidates and media accusing them of making a racial remark.

I live in Iowa and have now and again heard the term used along the lines of a coded statement of some sort of moral superiority to other people. When I moved here from Louisiana, occasionally Iowans would tell me how heartland folks had more of a work ethic than people from the south (they don't). Probably a short step from that to racism.

But normally it's not used that way and I certainly don't consider it a slur. Just something that politicians are looking to complain about.

Leaving politics and back to sports, I think it will be a tough game on both sides. It’s getting tough to pick a winner in any game this year as parity abounds but if Tulsa can shoot 30+% from deep I’ll take the Golden Hurricane. If our shooting is cold and Wichita’s sharpshooters get hot then they’ll probably get the road win. I think this is a bigger game for Tulsa not only because of the rankings but defending your home court will be imperative for every team if you plan to compete for the title.

Tulsa by 17

Yep, I imagine it's just some east coast/west coast big city bias that refuses to believe or accept "heartland" values - hardwork, independence. self-determination, family etc, regardless of where you live, so they have to defame it.

Tulsa opened at 1 pt favorite. This morning Wichita 2 pt favorite. Should be a good one.

With the way these two teams have played this year, anything from Wichita by 17 to Tulsa by 17 seems reasonable

Ah, yes. The 8 years of hope, change and yes we can; and what did it result in? PC Police on steroids, allowing Iran to enrich uranium, and local bakeries being sued for their religious beliefs. Fun times between 2009-2017.

Note I have no problem with anyone wanting to be with whoever they want to be with: But we do have rights as citizens as this country, and those should not be compromised.
