Yesterday really belonged to the Big 12.

#14 Colorado played at #12 K State. The game was on TV, so we got to see it, and it was fun to watch.

The game featured the match-up of Tera Bjorkland and Nicole Ohlde, probably the two best low post players in the game. Individually, they played to a near draw: Bjorkland had 22 points, 8 rebounds, and 4 assists; Ohlde had 17, 10, and 4. But Ohlde's team came out on top, in part because she just has a more talented cast around her. Wecker is pretty incredible.

The Buffs also failed to get Tera the ball at the end. In the last couple minutes, during timeout huddles, we could see Colorado coach Barry yelling "Get the ball to Bjorkland!" But the team just didn't always execute that plan.

"We need to recognize at times that she's our best post player and get her the ball down there," Barry said. "Sometimes we go away from her and that is a hard lesson."

In other Big 12 action --

Texas got a pretty good scare from Oklahoma. The Longhorns shot terribly, but solid rebounding and good free-throw shooting helped them hang on.

"It was anybody's ball game," Texas Coach Jody Conradt said. "Thankfully, we made the plays down the stretch. This team has done that a number of times." Sooner Coach Coale wasn't happy with the officiating.

Texas Tech had no problem with Oklahoma State. The stats are just silly.
