    Iowa losing to Minnesota at home might have been a bad enough loss to put them in 3-seed territory. As it is, they squeaked out a win over one of the worst major conference teams in the country. To the poll question, I don't think my heart could handle either another first round 3/14 or 4/13...

    3) Advance to the Final Four while Iowa gets a #1 seed and becomes the first #1 seed to lose to a 16 seed

    Cincy and the Big 12

    This is why I think permanent crossover rivalries would be used. If you're keeping schools in divisions with their rivals, and you're splitting the Texas schools, you'd have: Division A Baylor Iowa State Kansas Kansas State TCU Division B Oklahoma Oklahoma State Texas Texas Tech West...

    Cincy and the Big 12

    All UConn needs is a 10 win football season and they'd be the Big 12 frontrunner. If UConn had the season that Houston just had, they'd already have an invitation.

    This would be fun. Iowa State-Purdue would also be an interesting matchup. Purdue is a huge team; they could score on us but would have no chance of stopping a Morris-Thomas-Nader-Niang-Burton type lineup. And the UAB thing goes without saying...

    If he was really $53 million in debt he would have filed for bankruptcy a long time ago.

    MONDAY MUSINGS: The greatness of Georges Niang becoming more clear

    Re: MONDAY MUINGS: The greatness of Georges Niang becoming more clear Hadn't thought of this, but it is imperative that Big Georges makes his way to Cyclone Alley for Senior Night on 2/29. Anybody who knows how to make that happen - please do!

    Ranking the Kansas Conference

    2013 was the year. KU had no business beating Iowa State in either Lawrence or Ames that season. Still squeaked out a tie for the title.

    Ranking the Kansas Conference

    What is this "Big 12 Tourney" you speak of? I thought those were meaningless exhibition games after the real season.

    joe and jerry # 4 seed

    Still hoping for a 3 in OKC. I don't think we get in St. Louis because of Xavier and Michigan State, although it's not impossible for us to pass one of them. Denver would be fine too. Really the difference between a 3 and a 4 isn't huge, because all of the teams are so equal this year. It isn't...

    Arrest reported in ISU hit and run death

    The bus driver pled not guilty this morning. Here is the story although I didn't see any other information in it. http://www.iowastatedaily.com/news/politics_and_administration/campus/article_b978b15c-d413-11e5-b56b-93c816a14807.html

    Cincy and the Big 12

    A double round-robin in a 12 school league would push conference play back before Christmas. That's 22 conference games. If you count backwards on ISU's schedule this year and see where conference play would need to start to fit in 22 games, it would be December 19 (the equivalent of the UNI...

    Cincy and the Big 12

    It was rumored a while back that OU and UT did not want to be in opposite divisions because they didn't want to play twice in one year. I think that was from Chip Brown or Orangebloods but I could be wrong. My point is more that I see two Texas schools in each division if the Big 12 expanded to 12.

    Cincy and the Big 12

    I don't think the Big 12 would go with a North/South split if we added, say, Cincinnati and Memphis. The state of Texas is the lifeblood of the conference, and putting all of those schools in the same division would result in a pretty severe talent imbalance (like we saw before). The Pac-12...
