The Big 12 is awfully quiet today
- Thread starter hawkit3113
- Start date
If losing $$$ betting these small conferences back to back games (see Boise/CSU results from Thursday and Friday) sans the blowouts, the same teams could play today and all have different winner. It’s just a weird year. OU has 3 straight top 10 wins after playing a cream puff OOC in which the only team of note they played was Xavier and they lost by 20. It’s just a weird year.
Gonzaga and Baylor and not much difference in everybody else imo.
Is funny in regards to a poster predicting silly things like 9-1 lol

Having the team with the worst record sit this one out was a stroke of genius, I must say.
I thought the B12 was way better than the SEC though? So why do you need to play a 5-10 terrible team in order to win the challenge? Shouldn't the B12 be winning it anyways?
In church......I mean, dude...You posted this yesterday at 11:00 am, or so. Big 12 folks are church going folk...
Indeed. Vandy vs. Iowa State would've been a snoozer.
The bottom three in the Big 12 are trash (although one of them had a 12 point lead on one of the SEC’s best with a few minutes left).
When people talk about the Big 12 being a strong league, they’re talking about the top 7. Those teams were 4-2 and likely would have been 5-2 if Texas/Kentucky played.
Wouldn't we all just like to drop the bottom 30% of our leagues? Imagine how much better we would be if we kicked the basement dwellers to the curb!!! It's a shocking revelation! 🤣
Games between bottom-feeders mean nothing. You think Iowa State’s JV squad’s performance said anything about either league?
The bottom 30% of pretty much any league is garbage. But not many leagues will put the top 70% in the tourney.
I mean it's been a pretty evenly matched series especially the last few. Pretty sure UT would have won had they played but who knows. I definitely like this series more than against the Pac.

the big 12 being good is the biggest myth in sports. right up there with “kansas is a blue blood” and “bill self doesn’t choke in march” and who could forget “kansas’ players are great people on and off the field”
Another solid post from everyone’s favorite Rafturd. 😂
Unflinching in his never-ending crusade!
Kansas sucks. Feels like the right time to finally say it. The blue bloods have taken a shit on themselves this season
You can refer to them as “top 3 all-time” if you prefer.
They’ve looked like trash the last few games, but they still have 4 top 20 wins. I’m pretty sure that UNC, Kentucky and Duke combine for 0.
You can be bad and still be a lot better than those three teams. Just saying.
This couldn't be more true. Can't even enjoy rival blue blood losses when we are obviously a mediocre team that managed to snatch a few more wins in close games. We can def play much better, but our best gets beat by quite a few others teams' best. Best bet moving forward is win all the games we are supposed to, avoid home losses, and avoid more absolute ass kickings. Then hope for a favorable draw in the tourney so we get to watch two weekends.
Hope.. tell me about this, hope, that you have? I’m not aware of this concept.
I know Big 12 fans went from citing Kenpom to not caring about it at all, but:
the B1G has 3 of the top 5:
Michigan #3
Iowa #4
Illinois #5
...and 5 of the top 11:
Ohio State #10
Wisconsin #11

How is it that struggling KU has as many top 20 Kenpom wins as all of your top 3 combined?
Gauntlet.
Hey I remember playing Michigan. Fun times.
I think our KenPom rating could be better if we got to play Gonzaga etc like originally planned. Also St John's backed out on us and already had a game scheduled. We had to pick up Troy.
