I miss the rolled up overalls. Wait. Did I say that out loud?
Title always makes me think of this
Everyone's talking about how ISU got a touch draw. No one's talking about how UConn might have to play the best 2 seed?
I'm not greedy, I just want the next six.Bracket is set, nothing to do now but win a bunch of games.
Why are you worried about collateral damage in Iowa $#!++y?Yeah, less collateral damage.
I get being irritated that ISU didn’t get the last 1 seed, but that wasn’t even on the table going into the championship game, getting Omaha was the goal (for the fans), and they got it.
Nothing will come close to the egregious, unfathomable, Final Four costing miss of Arizona and Stanford being 1 seeds out of the PAC-10 and not even playing a conference tournament in 2000.
This wasn’t a great look because of the moving goalposts, but I’ve seen a lot worse.
I will keep beating the drum that the non-con games get counted twice in SOS while the conference gets counted only once since the non con is all of the non con SOS and part of the overall SOS while the conference is only part of the overall SOS. If they are going to have non-con SOS as a thing couple it with conf SOS instead or put all three of them (non-con, conf, overall) on the Nitty Gritty sheets.I'm more bothered that the committee now views non conf SOS as more important than ENTIRE SEASON SOS.
We were 16 out of 362 for hardest schedule...if anything that should be the reason we lock up a top seed playing better teams than almost any team in the country did, not the reason they drop us 2-4 spots from where our metrics have us.
I'll allow it.Screw it lets go for a 4th rematch against Houston, and beat them down again for the championship.
Agree. The non con was so long ago. There should be a heavier emphasis on conference games and the conference tournaments.I'm more bothered that the committee now views non conf SOS as more important than ENTIRE SEASON SOS.

Last year like 2001 you could feel the team was limping in. This team has so many players that can carry the offense. So many guys are capable of getting 20 i just believe we'll be fine.As a Cyclone fan forever I worry about EVERY SINGLE GAME we play. We play like we did against Houston we can beat anybody. We play like we did against Byu there and you know the answer. Stay healthy, 1 game at a time and get some refs that aren't whistle happy......

FAU returns their 4 leading scorers from a final 4 team. I really think somebody really had a bug up their ass regarding UCONN.UConn fans are talking about it. They know they got the best 2, best 3 and by far best 4 seed. They also know they could play a team that made the Final Four last year in second round.
Seriously, give me our second round opponents over FAU even knowing Drake will be the most motivated team in basketball history.
And guys like Kellogg will continue to go on national TV and slob that knob. Their always going to find a way to support their narrative.Yeah, if you must value non-conf SOS, divide them up completely.
Expose that every other team had a dog$hit sos compared to Big 12 teams...and it's been that way for about 15 years.
You cannot penalize a team even slightly for playing the 16th hardest schedule out of 362, it's completely asinine.

Yep, wrong jersey color. Let's hope the chip on their shoulder gets noticed every game they play.I don't know what to say about the stupid non conference controversy. The Big 12 regular season is long, hard, physical, physical and physical. If TJ wants games that allow his guys to wade into the rat race, so be it. Even with a tougher non conference schedule we wouldn't have gotten the Kansas or Baylor treatment.
