    ***2022-23 MBB General Thread***

    Don't disagree but that could be said about most of the 1 seeds in any given year. Creighton gave KU all they wanted last year in the 2nd Round. 1 seed Baylor lost in OT to 8 seed UNC. Who knows, if Baylor survives that, they may have repeated. The difference between losing in the 2nd Round...

    NCAA Top 16 Reveal

    The whole "games will be officiated differently in the Tournament" argument is absurd. Seth made a similar comment last night about the Big 12 in general, not just ISU. As Fran pointed out, it's the same officials doing both. Referees that regularly officiate Big 12 contests will also...

    Preseason B12 MBB poll ...

    Largely agree with this. With the recent Texas result, they should probably jump to the to the top tier, unfortunately. TCU hasn't shown it yet but believe they will eventually be in your middle tier with Tech. In the bottom tier I think I'd go: 6. OSU 7. ISU 8. WVU 9. KSU 10. OU...

    KU gives Bill Self & Assistant a 4 Game Suspension

    Especially since the IARP disagreed with the NCAA in regards to Adidas being a booster. https://www.cardchronicle.com/2022/11/3/23438466/louisville-iarp-ruling-cardinals-avoid-major-sanctions-no-postseason-ban The key point in U of L’s case appears to be whether or not the Adidas employees...

    Poll: Most disliked Big 8/12 men's basketball coach.

    As a KU fan, it's fantastic that nearly half the poll options are KU coaches.

    Poll: Most disliked Big 8/12 men's basketball coach.

    Agree…he hasn’t won enough.

    There are currently 100 brackets up on Bracket Matrix. All 100 have ISU in the field.

    I think the fact that the Big 12 is one of the few conferences that plays a double round robin will help in this regard. Teams that have already played twice can't meet in the Tournament prior to Sweet 16.

    Let's talk B12 bubbles ...

    I think KSU could get by with 3 more wins provided that at least one of them was against Tech in Lubbock (very unlikely) or one of KU, Tech or Baylor in the Big 12 Tournament (tough but doable). Any one of those would be a Quad 1a win.

    Let's talk B12 bubbles ...

    I agree with this. ISU could potentially get in with no more wins. Would be an interesting case to a see what would happen to a 5-13 conference team that had several more Quad 1 wins than other bubble teams. I'm sure none of you are anxious to find out.

    No but KU probably would have overcome that too.

    Officiating travesty in Lawrence

    Well there’s the other reason you guys feel that KU never gets bad calls late in the game. When it happens you don’t “give a ****” so you don’t remember. When you identify as a victim you’ll only pay attention to the events that support your victimhood and completely disregard the ones that don’t.

    Officiating travesty in Lawrence

    Here’s why it seems like KU “always” gets the benefit of late game refereeing errors: when it happens they still generally win. Yesterday’s game in Manhattan is the perfect example. KU is down 3 with 50 seconds left. Agbaji goes up for 3 (well behind the line) and is fouled when the K-State...

    Don’t steal the ball when the other team is graciously trying to run out the clock.

    KU vs KSU Brawl

    There wouldn’t be as many problems if other Big 12 schools could take their L’s more gracefully.

    KU vs KSU Brawl

    What I find interesting is that KU has stepped forward and taken responsibility for their fault in the matter. KSU has done no such thing, even though had as much fault, if not more. They were also notably apprehensive about taking any responsibility for the court rushing incident in 2015.

    KU vs KSU Brawl

    So what should the punishments have been? In my opinion the most severe punishment should have gone to Love. Maybe his is less since he’s currently injured? I haven’t heard any complaints from KSU about their punishments. They must be happy to accept it. What conclusions should we draw from...
