Been watching non Big 12 basketball lately...

right, and the ACC was hot garbage this year. In the tournament, they benefited from a 12 seed and a 14 seed winning. The Big 12 had key injuries. We all know about Kansas, but Baylor was without Langston Love.

Agree with this, everyone knew KU was hopeless. Baylor had an injury and played a very poor game and still almost made it to the sweet 16. BYU and Tech were the only real disappointments from a Big 12 point of view.

If Baylor plays ok we have the 3 teams we expected to make a Sweet 16 make it. Big 12 is the deepest conference. Lots of tournament teams but not surprising that most of them didn't make the Sweet 16

A single elimination tournament isn’t a good judge of who and who isn’t elite.

I agree but it'll be public perception that matters.

I saw these two as feast or famine (still hated BYU as a potential matchup so no problem with them getting beat early) so wasn't too surprised to see them not do much.

I can tell you for example, the B1G could be 5th best in the NET and have two teams in the tournament and fans from their teams would still see it as the best conference with the most physical NBA ready type of players that grind through hard nights at Indiana and Minnesota like no other conferences have weeknight away games.

The talking heads on ESPN etc. are paid to push the products, not the results.
