No I think the Big 12 is the best conference. I think I didn't phrase what I was trying to express well but I basically think they got an unbalanced schedule that skewed in their favor a bit in the Big 12 plus they're basically unbeatable at home in Hilton.
Their 24-6 record is well deserved but I think their offense is too inconsistent and they don't have a go to guy in clutch situations or to stop scoring droughts like the other top teams which is important in a tournament setting.
I completely agree that Iowa St has a better resume than Duke and deserves a higher seed for now.
I only brought up the A&M and VT neutral site losses to further illustrate the point that they don't have marquee wins away from home and in the Nonconference which is a bit troublesome.
Their Houston win at home is better than anything Duke has but beyond their next best wins are taking care of other really good teams in Hilton like Kansas and BYU.
They've won all the games they were supposed to so kudos to them.
But does your eye test tell you that in a neutral court setting, Iowa St is as big of a threat to go to the Final 4 as Baylor, Duke, UNC, Marquette with a healthy Tyler Kolek and Creighton???
