Big East did it way back when.

Oh shit, Tenn trying to get back in this game!

No. Metrics wise, there has been no one close to him this century. Eye test wise the closest to him I can think of is Durant. Davis was a dominant defensive presence but his overall game is no where near Zions.

I could be wrong but I think the ACC has had a tournament like 30 or 40 years longer than the Big 8. Big 8 had the old holiday tournament during the christmas break but it was, well, pointless and meant nothing

No, this is the worst team I have seen under Bill Self. They wont even have the most losses though.

Yeah this is very strange to me. But I guess the ACC has had a tournament a lot longer than most conferences.

I didn't get to watch the game. Last night was Chris Stapleton at the rodeo so I went to that instead. Sounds like I made a good decision based on how shitty both teams appeared to play?

I dont think Drew will leave Baylor.

I think your point about Shaka is spot on. He's a decent coach but he just happens to be in a league of superb coaching. As much as we give shit about Weber, he has won the conference twice now, made a deep (if not fluky) run in the tournament last year, and has overall done a good job of developing his players. Scott Drew, another coach everyone loves to shit on, has gotten really good at this coaching thing. He makes much fewer mistakes down in crunch time now and gets the most out of his players. Baylor was picked to finish 9th in the league this year, and they got 4th. This after losing one of their best players. Then you got Lon, Self, Huggins, Dixon, and Beard/Boynton are both young and new but have proven to have some good coaching chops IMO though it is early on both of them. Prohm is kind of the outlier here. Sometimes you think damn, he's really good, and then ISU goes and shits the best for like 5 games in a row and you wonder if Prohm is really good or not.

KU has been awful in true road games this year but actually are undefeated in neutral site games. That being said, all those neutral site games had Doke and Vick in them. I am unsure how this is going to go. Texas beat us soundly in their house and gave us a game at Allen so, if we manage to get past them and have to play Tech in the semi's that is also another "well shit I dont know how its going to go" as both teams kicked each others ass on their home floors. If Wade isn't playing in the Conf tournament I can see KSU going out in the Semi's. If he is playing I don't see anyone stopping them until the finals.

I wouldnt put too much stock into it. Phog turned into a cesspool a while back. Lawson had a claim but Culver's team won the conference and he has just as good a claim.

I heard Buzz wasn't happy at VaTech and would likely jump at a chance to go coach in Texas.

God I remember the game thread on reddit for that, even non-Big 12 fans were like wtf is this game,

He gave a kid that didnt even go to Kansas, 364 dollars for a round trip ticket to see his grandmother who raised him and was ill at the time (and she passed away a short time later). He told the NCAA about it, wasn't trying to hide it, then they slapped them with the sanctions. The NCAA did a thorough investigation trying to find a pattern to see if Kansas had been doing that and they never found anything other than what Larry Brown told them he had done.

Apparently they granted the waiver for him to play today.

I've seen this sentiment on reddit from several fans of most of the Big 12. Everyone wants their team to end the streak.

Pretty sure we only graduated 22 seniors this year. We do only have 15 scholarships to give though. Next year we graduate 31 seniors though

God damn TCU.

No, Silvio is not ineligible, Self just don't want to play him just in case. Thats why he is asking the NCAA for a ruling one way or another.

Meh, SDS guardian allegedly took 2500 dollars but there is no evidence of it, just heresay and its clear Silvio had no idea. Let's just say there was 2500 exchanged between the adidas dude and his guardian, past infringements like this required some time to sit out and Silvio has already sat out for a full semester. Not even required to, Coach Self just didn't want to risk playing him.

Big 12 fans are so melodramatic. 1 loss does not make a conference season. Just like you beating KU AT home as you usually do, does not end our season. ISU has as good a chance as anyone IMO.

Dixon is not likely to leave his alma mater. Hoiberg hated, absolutely hated the recruiting aspect of college ball. Donovan is, IMO, unlikely to return to the NCAA. Bennett has it made in Virginia/ Cronin I could see potentially leaving Cincy for UCLA, Keatts too though.

No, Missouri's last year was the first year we went to the 18 game schedule. Colorado and Nebraska had left the year prior. But Missouri and aggie were still here and we had 10 teams. Their final conference record was 14-4.

4 teams. Missouri (14-4) 2012 KSU (14-4) and OSU (13-5) in 2013 WVU (13-5) in 2016
