WBB: General All-NCAA Thread - Not Team Cyclones Stuff

^This. The newcomers suck in WBB and will be bottom of the league starting out. The "new" league will be fine in MBB and okay in football but there's no way to spin WBB as anything but weaker in a league that was already "down".

Current NET for these teams.
Houston 75
BYU 106
UFC 160
Cinci 184

By NET they would be 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th in the Big 12 with only TCU being worse. It's possible that being in a better league will help their recruiting but that's going to be years to see if it comes to fruition.

It's easy to say that based on this year's performance. A couple of teams...including BYU have shown they can succeed. I'm not saying they won't start out at the bottom, but a couple of the teams have coaches that will bring them up in the standings. Being a part of a better conference will allow them to recruit better players. I suspect we will see them blend in rather nicely after a few years.

Sunday's Big 12 games:

Oklahoma 86, Kansas 80
Only 4 points scored in the last 3:00 of the game -- all OU FT

Texas 74, West Virginia 48
UT started the game with a 17-2 run and didn't look back

I watched the Texas game (first half). WVU had every chance to be ahead of a cold shooting Texas by the half. Texas went EIGHT minutes without a basket. But, woof...WVU was miserable on offense. I don't know how they beat us even when we were having a terrible day. They aren't good in any form or fashion.

WVU lost two starters in our game (I think for the season) - makes a huge difference in their team.

Some additional perspective…from ESPN.

UCF tied for first in the American Athletic Conference last season ...

Last year, the coach for the women's team at UCF was Katie Abrahamson-Henderson. She is from Cedar Rapids and was an assistant for CBF at Iowa State from 1994 to 2000. She is now head coach at Georgia.

Well we need all the help we can get so maybe that's not all bad. A optimistic yr has turned into just another ok yr.

Number 3 Indiana goes to Iowa Sunday, Feb. 26, at 1:00 PM so that could be an interesting one to watch...likely Iowa will rebound at home when it needs a big win.

Ironically Iowa State is their second best win of the year (Net 14 - per Warren Nolan Website) - the only higher one is Maryland (at home Net 13). Will be very interesting if they can hold home floor vs Indiana who is Net 3.

It will be interesting - regardless of the outcome, Indiana will be the outright BIG champion. Iowa is either the 2/3 seed in the conference tourney, so they will get Maryland in the semis if the seeding holds.

It was satisfying watching Clark chuck up 30-footers, miss, fall, and look at the official wanting a call. Also, Iowa's defense was BAD.
