You are looking live at the site of tonight’s Phillips 66 Big 12 Championship championship game. Let’s talk about points, because the hunch is West Virginia better bring 30 more to this game than it brought to the last game. Perhaps they’ve been on ice. Either way, the 51 points last night was the second-lowest ever scored by a winning team in this event. Oddly enough, Oklahoma scored 49 in the 2003 final and beat Missouri by two.

Three-game point totals for championship teams (beginning last year): 236, 206, 259, 249, 259, 238, 231, 211, 225, 221, 222, 237, 230, 190, 194, 183, 214, 194, 230 and 233. Through two games, the Mountaineers have 114. If they win and score fewer than 69 or less, they’ll set the record for fewest points by a champion. If Iowa State wins and scores 84 or more points, that’s the record for most by a champion. (Every champion has won three games.)

As for everything else on the floor, Esa Ahmad starts again, and your officials are John Higgins, Joe DeRosa and Doug Sirmons. Kipp Kissinger is the alternate.

Ordinary Sprint Center WiFi expectations for this one. Be on your best and most active behavior, please.
