And there are still people out there that claim the Big 12 is not the top basketball conference.

If you’re looking at their message boards, it’s nothing but women’s BB topics, nothing about their other team which is basically a glorified intramural dorm team. An absolute joke of a program and it makes me laugh at their utter stupidity. F€*^k the hoks. Give Fran an extension, please. Drake is now the second best program in the state.Where Iowa at? Oh that's right... they are a women's basketball school now. Oh wait... they're gonna suck again too now. At least Iowa fans have the Indiana Fever they can root for!
With UCONN down the BIG 12 should be back where in 2021 it was Baylor, '22 it was Kansas, and in '25 it could well be one of the three listed as NCAA MBB Champs.And there are still people out there that claim the Big 12 is not the top basketball conference.

What is the source of that? Wow...that would be crazy fun!
Uconn will be down? I dont think we can necessarily confirm that lolWith UCONN down the BIG 12 should be back where in 2021 it was Baylor, '22 it was Kansas, and in '25 it could well be one of the three listed as NCAA MBB Champs.
I did a double take on that, too. Uconn is ranked a lowly 6th according to the very same article:Uconn will be down? I dont think we can necessarily confirm that lol
UCONN | This ranking is based on Dan Hurley's Huskies returning five of the top nine scorers - specifically Alex Karaban, Hassan Diarra, Samson Johnson, Solomon Ball and Jaylin Stewart - from a team that won the 2024 NCAA Tournament. Tarris Reed, a former top-50 recruit who averaged 9.0 points and 7.2 rebounds this season at Michigan, is among the newcomers expected to keep UConn in contention for a third straight national championship. |
Also this reddit poster is notorious for shitting on the Big12 in these simulations.Assuming this came from the reddit post I think it did, the seeds are Lunardi's but the actual picks are just from a model that will spit out a new, semi-random bracket based on probabilities every time it's run (e.g. if the poster ran the model 100 times, Iowa State would probably beat Quinnipiac 90+ of them, it just so happened that this was one of the 10).
Three in a row? Are you calling it? Do you know that in the 84-year history of the NCAA Men's tourney, only one school has done that? I will refine my statement then if to say "UCONN will be in the hunt but likely not be the NCAA Champs." They could be but few see that is probable.Uconn will be down?

That’s essentially what I meant, I’ll bet there’s a few more transfers and recruits to commit to them and Hurley being on fire like he is, they’ll definitely be in the hunt.Three in a row?
