Nobody ever has to play top shelf BYU. Except us.

These Capitol One commercials suck worse than Matas's free throw shooting in the game just ended.
I hope it's what makes this version of NIL fail.
This is the problem. Spacing games by 10-20 mins in groups. So dumb.
VCU has 3 straight tournament wins over ACC teams
Texas and Texas A&M with impressive wins.
SEC is 4-0 so far.
SEC is 4-0 so far.
What joy it would be for Penn to win and TOE to lose.
Come on Fran. Show all the haters and losers how wrong they were about you.
I would like to see an inset camera shot during the game of a room with the mega donors who funded the bulk of a given roster or player just to watch their faces as their "investment" officially turns into a colossal dump.
Cough Cough ... I think we have something to do with that, unfortunetely.
I was in the minority - I thought our loss @ BYU was a bad loss. There was a lot of shrugging if off like "no shame in that loss!" or "welp, the #1 pick played great, can't do much about it!..."
Yeah there was; play better. We played soft and uninspired.
We were favored to win for a reason, we were coming off nearly 5 full days of rest after a big home win against Houston, all the momentum in the world, and an NCAA early reveal of a #1 seed. BYU already had their "dead cat bounce" (or whatever stupid ass reference CW kept using on the podcast, for like 3 weeks in a row) at Arizona earlier that week. BYU was complete dogsh*t (as a team) without Saunders, a very quickly dropped out of the rankings because this was quite obvious. Hell, had we literally just won THAT game and everything else was the same, we're probably a #1 seed.
Oh well. Hope that is a learning lesson for next year when we are again a potential 1 seed that late in the season...
Ultimately, BYU did not represent the Big 12 well today.
Glad I'm not the only person who found that "metaphor" irritating.
They didn't even have Saunders. It was the wrong time to play them. Like Kansas at Phog Allen. Both teams were desperate. (You'd think BYU would consider the NCAA Tournament a desperate time...)

Yeah just make shots guys!!
Yeah. Makes me somewhat concerned about Kentucky. SEC with two upsets so far. They may be better overall than their seeding.
They would have to play much harder on defense IMO. It appears that ISU is a big level above Kentucky when it comes to defensive effort.
