2024 Big 12 Tournament

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.

You think we should even show up?  

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.

Nah. Should be straight single elimination.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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