Osu up17-6 early on baylor. This conference is bat **** crazy tough.

Even worse now.

Baylor got the yips?

TCU close to taking down Oklahoma. This conference is just insanely tough.

I was never impressed by him in the few Cal games I watched him in. He was an ok miss.

Yeah McNeil wasn’t good at Cal. Idiots on here thought our team with Shayok, Hali, THT, Wigginton and Weiler-Babb could’ve really used him, when he was just a horribly inefficient guy that put up meaningless numbers by getting tons of usage on a bad team.

TCU just gave up a game tying layup on an inbounds under the basket with 1.4 on the clock. Going to OT.

I watched. Unbelievable.

TCU intentionally throwing this game? Dumbest thing ive ever seen.

Several ranked teams going down today:

Northwestern won by 2 at #10 Michigan State

Arkansas won by 7 at #12 LSU

#15 Iowa State over #21 Texas (obviously)

#18 Kentucky throttled #22 Tennessee

Kansas State over #19 Texas Tech by 11

#20 Seton Hall loses by 1 at Marquette

#1 Baylor currently down 12 at half to Okie State

Honestly, every team in the B12 this year could win a game in the tournament. Very possible for the league to get 8 teams in with only KSU having no shot at an at-large. Deepest league maybe ever? 6 teams that could seriously challenge for a Sweet 16.

This conference is beyond bonkers. No easy night in this league.

 

[Althetuna]

Well, lets see if TCU can close it now.

 

[Althetuna]

TCU got sooooo lucky.

 

[NoCreativity]

TCU so lucky, you have to knock down those free throws.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

Absolutely INSANE how good this league is.

 

[Die4Cy]

What the ever living **** is going on in Waco

 

[dahliaclone]

With that TCU win, there will be 8 Big 12 teams in the top 50 of the NET. All ten are in the top 90. 5 in the top 25.

There isn’t a single off night. My only worry is that our teams will get beat up once again before March Madness.

Yikes. Fran F: "They (OSU) have not let up off Baylor's neck". Time to retire that phrase.

 

[PAClone]

During the TCU game, ESPN put up a graphic showing the current Big 12 Standings. ISU failed to make the list, but Ohio State with their logo was in there at 2-3!

 

[dahliaclone]

We have wins over the following in the NET rankings:

#13 Texas Tech
#15 Texas
#18 Xavier
#22 Iowa
#56 Memphis
#59 Creighton

Close to knocking off #1 Baylor and #10 Kansas too. Hell of a resume.

If you crunch the numbers the “grind of conference affecting tournament performance” is usually more a myth than anything. Plenty of teams have come out of the grind of this conference each year and done well in March. Good teams and in some cases the better team, sometimes just lose in March, it’s a crazy tournament.
