Really thought the B12 would have a better showing than it has. I see people picking the conference apart once again on twitter, but fail to realize they've won the past 2 ships and been in the past 3. Never mind that you know!
I was uncertain about how well Big 12 would perform in this tournament. Still definitely was strongest league in regular season (and postseason doesn't automatically prove that "wrong"), but it seemed like at least some of the top-tier teams are too inconsistent and/or missing pieces to make deep runs.
Definitely performing at or below seed level so far. Expected round based on seeding, and actual performance so far:
1 Kansas - Final Four; Round of 32.
2 Texas - Elite 8; still alive in Sweet 16.
3 Kansas State - Sweet 16; still alive in Sweet 16.
3 Baylor - Sweet 16; Round of 32.
6 TCU - Round of 32; Round of 32. (matched seed expectation)
6 Iowa State - Round of 32; Round of 64.
9 West Virginia - Round of 64; Round of 64. (matched seed expectation)
KSU and UT still could advance beyond seed expectation.
KU is only team that got bounced more than one round earlier than seeing.
