The Morning Dish – Wednesday, January 4, 2017
One Big 12 team earned a signature win Tuesday night, the kind that may well be a golden ticket right into the NCAA Tournament in March. Another Big 12 team had a chance to do the exact same thing-and missed in excuciating fashion. Texas Tech and Kansas State are two of […]
