    Both of them mean sweet new banners in Hilton, right? Or would this season just be added on to existing ones?

    Re: what would you rather?

    For myself, I would love the Big 12 tourney title. Nationally and recruiting wise, sweet 16.

    Sweet 16, final answer.

    Re: what would you rather?

    this is kind of like asking would you rather win the big 12 outright and lose in the first round of the NCAA's? Wait that happened - and it sucked. Option 2 for sure. Big 12 Tourney Championship is nice and has a 12 hour news cycle until the brackets are announced, but a sweet 16 has a week long news cycle and is much more memorable to the fans for years to come and has more impact on the fans to be

    Agree, lots of great pub - only 4 games that day, and big stories on Royce and Fred at least. Plus, you get a 3rd game and a shot at something more.

    Re: what would you rather?

    Any question is fair game, and either answer is acceptable, since it's opinion.

    But I can't believe roughly one-third of respondents (at time of this post) chose conference title over Sweet 16.

    Especially since poll doesn't stipulate "reach Sweet 16 and then lose" (although I'm sure that's the assumption with that choice).
