Big 12 WBB Tournament 23-24 Thread

As you post, West Virginia is up 42-21 over Cin at the half. No reason to keep watching.

I didn't even bother tuning in any of these Friday games. These were all unappealing games to me from a entertainment perspective. No stars, no star teams.

On to Saturday for some better hoops. ISU/Baylor should be good TV for non-ISU fans. Baylor's a decent team with huge Big 12 history and ISU has emerging super-star Audi Crooks and the other freshman.

Ive already seen 5 Hawkeye fans here with their gear on. Do they not care for the Big 10 tourney? Or maybe they just live here and cant afford to make the trip.

They probably wore it to a wedding, funeral, or court appearance as well
I have in-laws (husband and wife) who grew up in Illionois went to college in Illionois and I swear they wear some hawkeye ****, hat, shirt, sweatshirt every f$cking day of their lives. And go Cyclones!!
 
I like what you're going for and the creativity of it. Here are the things that I think would be potential areas of complaint for fans/schools (none are things that I personally would have a big issue with).
  • Two teams near the bottom of the conference standings getting home games to start the tournament, and getting at least the concession revenue that goes along with it.
  • Having just one travel day, especially in the men's format where you could theoretically have a team go road game -> travel day -> 3 days of neutral games all in a row. Granted, that result probably would never happen since it would involve one of the bottom teams in the conference making the championship.
  • The two-day midweek break in the women's format feels weird, though the women's tournament has the Sunday break this year.
Overall, though, I think your design could be pretty effective and it puts both the men's and women's championship games on the big stage on Saturday. The midweek break wouldn't be as big of a deal because there'd be games for the other tournament happening at the same time, and the short travel after the on-campus games probably makes up for the benefit for the on-campus hosts.
Is the Sunday break because of BYU?
 
ISU is the higher seed so home. Higher seeds have had the right bench so far. (If facing the benches that would be left)
Throughout my life, I thought there was a certain form to listing home and away teams. First, or top-listed, is considered the away team. I see sports articles almost always use this placement.
 
How was yesterday's crowd? Looked better than Thursday night but far from great.

Being in T-moble was not a great move by the big 12
Yes, it was better, from what I understand of Thursday’s. Kansas brought quite a few last night.

I cleared my schedule for three days (mostly as I have to dog sit) and there is only so much BIG12 WBB left before the NCAA WBB Tourney. Plus, I have watched so little of Cin, BYU, Houston, and UCF that it's good to get another look at their fans, and coaches. I think Cin and BYU are younger teams too and interesting to see what newer the players are like as the season winds down. It's not punishment, kinda whetting my appetite for our clash with BU.
 
I made a change you may like.
No lie. Brother had a creepy pervy Hawk friend who was 13 years older than me and started saying creepy inappropriate stuff to me when I was 10 years old. When he died from a massive heart attack, my brother roped me into going to the funeral, which I did because the guy’s poor wife, who he cheated on frequently, was sweet and way out of his league. She was heartbroken.

Yep head to toe Hawk gear, even Flintstone stickers on his glasses.

I watch every minute of the women’s tournament, but I also have a dog who recently had surgery.
 
What's wrong with the pup?
Blew out both CCLs on back legs, which is like a human ACL and called a CCL on a four legged critter. So he had TPLO surgery on both back legs. Now he wants to do everything and we still need to restrict his activities, which makes him a pain in the rear.
