Well who looks silly now.

X is a Catholic school.  Don't want to be seen as supporting that.  On the other hand, I am missing an exciting game.

Texas' record against top 10 teams increased to 4-2 this season.  And they will be playing another one on Tuesday. Crazy.

I'd say they have the best guards in the Big12.  They're such skilled ball handlers that WVU's press was negated in both games. 

Anyway I'm guessing their record vs. the top 14 is 6-2 since they swept WVU this year :P

Kansas won their 12th consecutive Big 12 regular season championship. They have also won 6 Conference tournament championship in that time. Bill Self is unbelievable, it does not matter how good the rest of the conference is they just dominate every single season.

That comes relatively easy when it's absolutely impossible for anyone to beat you on your home court :P

TCU managed to hold on and beat Texas Tech, giving WVU the easiest opponent in the 2nd round of the Big 12 tournament.  Assuming the win, WVU would then have to play Oklahoma, which they'll lose unless Hield comes down with the flu.  Winning at least one conference tournament game helps preserve a small amount of dignity before heading into the NCAA tourney.

Can't wait for next week.  With all the parity amongst the to 10 or so teams, this year's Big Dance is gonna be YUGE.

Man I hope this is the year we finally see Big 12 domination in the tourney. I hope everybody is not too beat up.

Yeah, that's the problem with being in such a physical, competitive conference.  With 7 of the 10 teams pretty much having a lock on tournament bids, how about we have a nice, relaxing conference tournament so the guys have a chance to rest/heal up??  :P

Anyway I'm increasingly downgrading Big 12 teams each year in my own brackets as a way to hedge my bets.  If a lot of them get knocked out early that helps my bracket, and if they win, yay Big 12 and who cares about the bracket.  Gonna be tough not to predict Kansas winning it all this year. 

In my Bengals pool I'm sure we'll have a lot of people picking Xavier since it's the top-ranked local area team.  I'd be tempted to pick them to win it since Xavier always does great in the tournament and this is their best team in a long time.  But since they'll be over-selected in the pool so the smart money is on someone else.  I think Yi and maybe others here last year criticized my decision not to pick UK to win it all since I knew they'd be over-selected in my pool.  But my strategy: worked.

Seems like they've been that way for the past decade or so.  Very streaky.  Which is great if you streak the right way in March.

I guess a rare time I'm happy to see Notre Dame win is when they knock off Duke in the ACC tourney :)

Texas cannot handle size right now. At least they get some time off to heal, they are really beat up.
