2024 Big 12 Tournament

[chase25 2048]

So I didn’t realize how wacky this bracket was… If we beat Tech we get an off day and don’t play again until Thursday.

If I’m counting correctly, we could get a Q2 win and 3 Q1 wins if things fall correctly with the potential of 3 against the current 15, 16.

Hookem can you determine where that might put us?

[Valmy77 13225]

Yeah so we got a bye anyway if we win. I just didn't understand the wacky way the bracket was constructed. Seems weird the #10 seed gets the same benefits we do but hey whatever. It is better to finish 10th place than 5th place, that makes total sense.

Just win baby. Get that day off.

The Regionals start on May 31st so even if we take home the trophy we get five days off.

No the 10 would automatically have to play the next day against OSt.  There's no way for them to get a day off win or lose.

This might be the worst tournament format I have ever seen. It sets up the 3 and 4 seeds better than the 1 and 2.

Only the Big 12 could put together a masterpiece like this.

Pierce playing chess while the rest of the Big12 was playing checkers.

He knew 3rd seed was the optimal seed in this format and got us there. Brilliant coaching this year.

The more I look at this the more it truly is a completely fubar bracket.

Tuesday should be a single elimination game between the 8 & 10 and 7&9 seeds. Loser goes home.

Now we enter double elimination thunderdome.

Winner of Tuesday games play the top seeds of each side of their brackets and 3 plays 5 and 4 plays 6 seed on Wednesday.

It’s that fucking easy.

At the very least though, they should have had 8 playing 10 and 7 vs. 9 playing each other with the winner playing the top seed if they wanted to keep their dumb double elimination from the start philosophy.

Oh well. Works in Texas’ favor…. If we can win a game in Globelife. If.

We should at least go, yes to pick up supplies for whatever regional we do make.

The 4.99 rotisserie chickens and 1.50 hotdog deal alone makes it worth the trip.
Maybe they’ll have free samples out too and then you really don’t even need to buy the team lunch.

Lol, crazy right? I love it since we got scammed out of the 2 seed anyways. 

[Rickylovesweed 14262]

Only the Big 12 could come up with something this stupid. 

[Horn80 6114]

Glad to read the comments above because I kept looking at the bracket format and didn’t think it made sense.

[zlavydra 2119]

Tech's 6.25 team ERA scares you to death.

Nah. Should be straight single elimination.

Why tax arms of teams you're about to send to the NCAA tournament?

Yep. It’s a postseason tournament. Who gives a shit 

[Horn80 6114]

Think they should drop conference tournaments and have play-in brackets comprised of bubble teams from different conferences.  The teams that have already punched their tickets shouldn’t have to play and burn arms or risk injuries.

Plus, he knew this back in the first week of April, when he tanked 2 of 3 to BYU.  The dude is a legitimate seer.

[Hookem2147 21188]

Conferences want as many games as possible because $$$$.

Come on man. This is baseball not football. Playing a few games is a tiny risk...or should be.

Though considering how pitching is going these days maybe we should start having football like schedules.

I like this format.  A one & done for your first game in a baseball conference tournament is stupid.  This works.

Teams with a RPI of 40 probably should.

[texastroubadour 1210]

Go Horns. Break the GlobeLife curse!

[chase25 2048]

Ace listed as the probable starter tomorrow, interested to see how long they let him go

[Hookem2147 21188]

Nothing like a 40,000 indoor stadium with 200 people inside.

I get why they want to have it at Globe Life but it is such an eye sore to see the atmosphere and attendance at these games.

[BigOrange1 6432]

kansas beats ksu 2-1 in game 1.

[Hookem2147 21188]

Kansas State better be careful. 15-15 in the regular season, 44 in RPI, only 6 Q1 wins. If they don't win tomorrow, they might be out.

A lot of that though is just the lack of support for college baseball from the schools within the conference. If you put the SEC tournament there it would be a much more enjoyable experience

I don't like college ball in MLB stadiums.   Having said that.  I like dain relays even less.

I've ran my mouth several times about this, within 10 years the SEC tournament will be in Dallas.

College big man running track <<<<<< empty MLB stadium for Big12 tournament.

It's going to be mayhem during the UCF/Cincinnati game.  Two passionate fanbases, each close to home.

How much time is between games?  We're probably at least 30 mins behind schedule right now?

Climate control. They know they can get all the games in without weather delays. Also somewhat centrally located until they added the 3 new out of state schools.

[chase25 2048]

Plus at the end of the day it doesn’t matter where you host the tournament when these things are starting at 9:30 AM on a Tuesday

It would be kind of fun to show up at 9am and spend 12 - 14 hours watching baseball nonstop and getting destroyed on overpriced beer.

Yep. But mostly weather. Weather in TX/Oklahoma fucking sucks in May and is unpredictable as hell

Come on meathead, get the last out and end this.
