MORNING BREW
A view from the student section
I had attended a few Kansas basketball games prior to Tuesday's exhibition game against Pittsburgh State University when I was in high school, but this time around, I was able to view the game from a different angle: the student section. For the first time, I wasn't going to stop at the main entrance. That's right, I was going all the way to the student entrance baby.
There was one person between me and that shiny hardwood floor. The line wasn't long at this point, but it sure felt like it was moving in slow motion. I was next in line. They took my KU ID to scan it, and just as I thought I was good to go, the hand-held scanner rejected my card. Great, so now I have to go wait in a separate line to fix the problem. After a short wait, I was in.
I managed to find some great seats in section one, right behind the backboard. I stood at my seat and looked around for a while, admiring every little detail of Allen Fieldhouse. Just minutes before tip off, the student section began to go through all the pregame traditions. It felt pretty weird to be part of them now, especially when it was time for the alma mater. For some reason, I was pulled right back into my high school's alma mater. But it wasn't until I was covered in pieces of newspaper confetti, standing amongst a sea of blue that I realized the magnitude of where I was actually standing. I definitely had the best seat in the house. As the players took the court, I could feel the energy building with every second, and when Conner Teahan sank
The Jayhawks went on to defeat the Gorillas 84-55, but the outcome of the game was irrelevant to me. I walked away from this game knowing not only that the Jayhawks came away with a win, but that I was now a part of the rich tradition of Kansas basketball. There were a lot of little things I was able to pick up that I would not have noticed had I been sitting elsewhere. Like when Jeff Withey is at the line shooting free throws, we don't just raise our arms, but we form a “W” using our hands. Or the various distractions students will do to throw off the opposing free-throw shooter. Or that I really need to work on the fight song clap, because every time I do it, I'm off beat from everyone else. Every University student remembers his or her first basketball game as a student, and I'm proud to say that I now have one under my belt. Basketball at Allen Fieldhouse is unlike any other program in the country, and I was able to see that first hand on Tuesday.

The Longhorns have a full head of steam after shutting out the reeling Kansas Jayhawks. They get another chance to buck their horns this week as they welcome the inconsistent Texas Tech Red Raiders to Austin, Texas. Texas Tech is one of the most unpredictable teams in the league. It won against a top 5 team in Norman, Okla., one week, then tell at home to lowly Iowa State the next.
Prediction: 31-20 Texas
The Longhorns' defense will prevent the Texas Tech offense from moving seamlessly down the field.
The Wildcats enter Stillwater, Okla. after their tough loss against the Sooners. Now, they will have to contain the second-best scoring offense in the nation. The Wildcats' strategy of trying to move the chains and keep the Cowboy offense off the field is the opposite of the quick strike Cowboys' plan of running as many plays in as little time as possible.

Prediction: 45-21 Oklahoma State
Prediction: 45-21 Oklahoma State The Wildcat defense will do its best to slow down the Cowboy offense, but Oklahoma State quarterback Brandon Weeden will be too much for the Wildcats to contain.
Prediction: 41-31 Baylor
The Tigers will travel to Texas for the second week in a row to face the Baylor Bears. Their last trip ended in an overtime win over Texas A&M. Baylor enters the game on a cold streak, having lost three of four games since entering Big 12 play. Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III has not been the same Heisman candidate he once was when the Bears entered Big 12 play.
A week after their overtime victory, Missouri will come out flat against Baylor in Texas.
Texas &AM is struggling to stay afloat after losing to Missouri last weekend. The loss pretty much eliminated it from the Big 12 title hunt and another loss could seriously hamper coach Mike Sherman's job security. Oklahoma's hopes fall on quarterback Landry Jones, after the Sooners lost leading rusher Dominique Whaley for the season because of an injury.
Prediction: 38-34 Oklahoma
Sooner quarterback Landry Jones will come back swinging after halftime and the Aggies will suffer their fourth second-half collapse on their way to losing the game.
