Surly was triggered cause he said KSU last week cares more about winning regular season championships than ISU, even though it was pointed out that ISU and KSU both have 2 Big 12 Championships. Also KSUs are both shared.
So am I. But think about the players who are tired, beat up, and looking at playing this B12 thingy on top of a rugged conference schedule. It's a money grab, like the football championship game, only with less meaning.
Not unless it furthers the trolling.You’d think since they started this thread they’d be able to stay on topic.
We don't even know that, do we? I mean the field hasn't been set prior to the B12 thingy, so how is one to be sure it matters at all? I've heard some talking heads say it doesn't.And I said it can affect the seeding of teams already in the field. ISU could jump up to a 4 seed if they’d win it all, but if they lose first round, would likely be a 6. Does the tournament matter in terms of making the dance? No, but there is still something to play for.
The exposure is actually very important for teams and players as well.So am I. But think about the players who are tired, beat up, and looking at playing this B12 thingy on top of a rugged conference schedule. It's a money grab, like the football championship game, only with less meaning.
I was making an informed commentary on the B12 tournament, something that would have far more usefulness played during the holiday season.Cats looking for an excuse already?
King McClure says that because he never did that well in it.Well, that's what I said in the opening post. It matters to the lower tier, not so much to the already-seeded teams. I mean guys like King McClure are saying just that.
Informed by his arsehole maybe.I was making an informed commentary on the B12 tournament, something that would have far more usefulness played during the holiday season.
My sense this morning is that the only programs who are fully vested in it are at the bottom. oSu, WVU, TxT have an interest in doing well to secure their NCAA births. OU would have to win it to get a dance card.
For the rest, yes, it would be a nice trophy in the case but everyone will have forgotten who did what by next week when the dance starts. I remember Bob Knight ranting about it over there as meaningless.
I mean I'll watch out of curiosity and because I love this league and each team. But I wont have a fit over an early or late out, unless it's the championship game. The 2023 B12 champion is Ku.
Exposure? What's to be proved in Kc that hasn't already in the round-robin? Like we don't already know the order of these teams?The exposure is actually very important for teams and players as well.
Don’t tell us it’s Randy Peterson.…..I mean the field hasn't been set prior to the B12 thingy, so how is one to be sure it matters at all? I've heard some talking heads say it doesn't.
And I already said you don't know that. The field hasn't been set.And I said it can affect the seeding of teams already in the field. ISU could jump up to a 4 seed if they’d win it all, but if they lose first round, would likely be a 6. Does the tournament matter in terms of making the dance?

You have zero clue what you’re talking about and the fact you just said thingy means you personally don’t care about it at all (guessing cause your favorite team had sucked in it).We don't even know that, do we? I mean the field hasn't been set prior to the B12 thingy, so how is one to be sure it matters at all? I've heard some talking heads say it doesn't.
So what’s the endgame to this thread? Are you trying to get people to say the Big 12 tournament is 100% meaningless? It’s ok if it’s meaningless to you. Others probably don’t find it meaningless. Just not sure what your goal is here.Exposure? What's to be proved in Kc that hasn't already in the round-robin? Like we don't already know the order of these teams?
You heard it here first. All conference tourneys shall be terminated henceforth by the Holy Writ of Bob Surly T.M. Cats. Here endeth the informed lesson. End this thread and grovel as you prostrate yourself before his Hokiness.Exposure? What's to be proved in Kc that hasn't already in the round-robin? Like we don't already know the order of these teams?
