However, big 12 best record so far, looking forward to KU and Baylor tomorrow.
The best chance for a B12 National Championship resides with the team from Lubbock, imo.
lol right on cue.
hey i get it…..I rooted for tech and Baylor the last 2 natty games. Although want that to be us badly.
honestly we have 3 final four teams. Can’t discount baylor or KU
will get any teams there? Maybe. But we def have 3 that can
Big 12 looking real solid.
And Holy TT. Look out for them

Pretty flawless. Mark Adams reminds me of Jose Mourinho for the old Chelsea and Inter teams. Requires his guys play with perfection every minute.
They are going to be a really tough out. I am happy for them. I don't blame Beard, but nice to see Tech land on their feet
If we are knocking down shots along with playing good defense we are a tough out. But so is Kansas, Baylor, etc.
I've seen the man call timeouts after one bad defensive possession even with us still up by 20.
Iowa St with the win. Hunter just knocking down 3s. Good for them.
Pat Forde:
LSU, gone. Alabama, gone. Kentucky, gone. All higher seeds. It just means less.
Big 12 is 6-0. Arizona better watch out for TCU. TCU has beaten teams just as good as Arizona. To be clear I am not a TCU fan. Big 12 play is great preparation for March Madness
TCU is better than a 9 seed.
I wondered if the Big 12 would live up to their defensive metrics. So far that’s a yes.
I think Big 12 teams are just happy to play non-Big 12 teams.
I guarantee that’s what TCU was thinking.
There is no guarantee the SEC will have any teams make it to the 16 this year.
The Miami Auburn game is somewhat intriguing to me. And New Mexico State wont be a cakewalk for the Hogs. If Tennessee continues to play tough defense we should beat Michigan.

Because they have been feasting on UK's fly swarmed carcass.
Bc I wasn’t surprised they’d be flaky. The sec big 12 challenge I said was bad match ups for the big 12. If we played that truly straight up big 12 wins it.
howveer still watch our for tenn to make a run. Auburn never know also. Sec sfill has some shots on goal
TCU might have looked like the second best team to tech snd that’s saying something
Cleaned up some of what you said because it is so important and needed to be said!
Obviously the Big 12 has been impressive. And the ACC has looked solid too, especially when you consider that 4 out of 5 teams were 8 seed or worse, so the ACC doesn’t have any wins over 10/11/12/13/14 seeds.
Big 10 has clearly been a disappointment so far. Not just the losses, Illinois looked shaky at best, and Michigan State struggled for long stretches. One of these years we are gonna have to reign it in for the hype and the bids/seeds for the Big 10. Just seems like Groundhog Day over and over and over.
The Kentucky loss is still difficult to grasp. Just stunning. But beyond that, I’ll reserve judgment on the SEC until Sunday afternoon. LSU was coach-less, so their loss was pretty expected. And Alabama should have never ever been a 6 seed. Auburn and Tennessee both looked fantastic.
The WCC looked great. San Fran nearly pulled off the win despite their best player not playing. And they arguably should have been an 8/9 anyway. And Zags and St Marys dominated.
Then you have the MWC. Good lord, folks. What in the world happened?

As much as I hate defending bammers, they did lose their star player in the opening minutes of their game to a knee injury.
Maybe, I do hope their injured player makes a full recovery. Knee injuries can be devastating.
All of this is true. I'd just add that the Big East has looked bad. Not just the losses but Marquette and Seton Hall were embarrassed in games that, on paper, should have been competitive.
To be fair Sparty was only 1.5 favorites I believe vs Davidson , so expected a close game , not from Illinois though.
Clearly, ACC should definitely have gotten more teams in.
Louisville got screwed by the committee, we could’ve taken the peacocks down…..
That Tech defense is suffocating. KU and Baylor have the advantage of having played against it a few times, but teams who are just experiencing it for the first time can struggle quite a bit.
It helps that the officiating so far has been very Big XII like. They allow a lot of contact in the Big XII and so far that’s how they’ve called these tourney games.
