Glad to see KState beat McDoormat even without Wade.
Is Wade out for the next game as well?
What does a successful tournament look like for the Big 12?

I've got WVU over Marshall, Seaton Hall beating Ku, K-State over UMBC, and TxT over Florida. Big12 teams all favorites, 'cept TxT which is a pickem v. Florida.
Dean is day2day. No one knows but coach Weber and Wade. I'm confident he won't play in the next game.

The SEC went 6-2 with only the Mizzou train wrerck and Butler beating Arkansas as their only blemishes.
Since ISU isn't in it's already a failure. It could be an all B12 Final 4 or they could all lose their next game. I don't care. It's a crap shoot at this point. Have a bad game...go home. The tournament gods don't care what conference you are from. I tire of the conference arguments during this time of year.
You left out the part where the purple kitties get the easiest path to a Sweet 16 ever seen.
K-State is without its best player. Nothing will be easy going forward. Kentucky, Tennessee, Cincinnati still in this bracket would hardly be considered walkovers.
Cats are ten point favorites v. the Retrievers. WVU -12 v. Marshall.
Would not surprise to see a quarter of the Sweet 16 wearing Big 12 patches. Way beyond my expectations if it happens.
We beat a 12 and 13 seed two years ago. You can only play the games in front of you.
Welp, league's top two in the Sweet16 already. Could be a quarter of the field by tomorrow night. Both WVU and K-State being favorites.

How dare you refer to purple Kansas as State on this site.
Yes 4 of 16 is probable based on seeding. Could get 3 of 8 too but that's less likely again based in seeding.
Big12 conference standings seem to be a reliable indicator this year. I guess all that RPI, BPI, quadrant stuff doesn't necessarily apply to court performance.
It's called the luck of the draw. KSU drew a team that wet the bed and played scared while TCU drew a team that play confident and fear free. Hats off to KSU for executing well. For Kansas' bank account, I hope you win your next game as well but I'll be honest, seeing Bruce Weber become the 2nd team to lose to a #16 seed would make me laugh. Just cheering for an entertaining game in that one.
Right, Jamie Dixon's 6th seed TCU (earlier beaten two out of three by Weber) just drew a tougher opponent than 9 seed K-State. After all, Syracuse had to win a play-in, thus they were way tougher than 8 seed, Big East #3 Creighton.
And let's not forget, Big East #4 Seaton Hall was way better than the #3 Jays as well even though Creighton beat SH by ~20 earlier in the year. Head2head means nothing.

Except when KU beats KSU head to head 3 times in one season by a combined 31 points. That means something...
You're drunk.
Bottom line, that Syracuse zone is a nightmare to have to play in a tourney setting. ACC coaches and players have played against it enough to know how to handle it but to see it for the first time in the tourney is another animal altogether. Your reliance on seed numbers, win numbers and conference standings as some sort of accurate measure of the quality of a team is tiring. You'd think after this long that you would start to see the bigger picture.
You wear a Ku sock nicely for someone who claims Ames. But you're probably a Yankees and LeBron fan as well.
