Mommy also wasn't averaging 5 ppg over his last 4 games...
Flemmings kicks his leg out and flops on every 3, it's nice to see Sermons not falling for it and actually calling him out when he ******* about not getting the call.
See Big 12 tournament performances in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, and 2024.
Last night just confirmed that this team has the high level basketball in them that we haven’t seen since the Houston game. If they play like that, they can absolutely make a deep run. But they can just as easily play like they did down the stretch or against TCU/Cincy/at KU and get jumped.
I want to believe, but ultimately the conference tournament is meaningless to what happens in the big dance.
I’ll just believe it when I see it. We’ve seen this script many times before where we looked great in KC. I would be ecstatic if we make the elite 8. Just would like to break that sweet 16 barrier.
Sure now dellorso misses
Edit-Sermons seems to know how to call a ******* travel tonight. **** you doug

You just knew Del Orso wouldn't hit sh## tonight
How many of those times did we win the tournament and get our hopes sky high? All of them. I’m not saying this won’t end up the same, however the way they played against Arizona makes me think they’ll be hungrier than actually winning the big 13 tournament. We will know in a couple weeks….

This is where I am at too. KC gave me confidence we could make a Sweet 16. Every Sweet 16 we have been in recently we look overmatched in the first 5 minutes.
The Houston championship blowout win was pretty astonishing 2 years ago. Now, we didn’t play bad in the tournament, and faced a very good Illinois team, but we kinda shot our selves in the foot in that game.
Michigan seems to win a lot of close games. Do they have a knack to win those situations or are they using up all of their "luck" factor?
I know they are good but it seems to me there is a component of luck when it gets to the Tourney. I feel like they have used quite a bit of it already. I will not have them in the NC game because of this.

It's also something to note that it wasn't that the power conference schools didn't want to play them (as every other MAC school was able to schedule at least one game... and Purdue and Wisconsin feasted on MAC schools) - it was that power conference schools weren't willing to play them at the compensation they were demanding. I get it - small schools require paydays in order to even attempt to survive, but if every other MAC school was able to schedule power conference games... what were they asking for that made every other school reject them?
So yes, they should be in the tourney, but they can open their play in Dayton with the other play-in teams.
I already know Houston and us can't be in the same region (assuming we're both 2s), but the committee would be heartless if they placed either of us in Arizona's region. With the way these last two rounds have gone, any potential rematches of these games deserve to take place in the Final Four.
With Florida and UConn getting spanked in their tournaments, it makes me wonder if Iowa State had a shot at the last 1 seed had they beat Arizona and Houston. Ah well
