Big 12 > Big 10 and it's not even close.
because some idiot would call me out if I don't use this.

well, iowa did beat us. although i hate everything about iowa, if they were in the big 12 they probably would have made the dance. if we can play that card for football, they can play it in bball.
regardless, i hope iowa loses by 40.
Sure they bring guys back, but I just don't see their ceiling being much more than it is right now. We'll see.
This is so stupid and typical of our stupid fans. Iowa played an easy schedule in the Big 10. They played Ohio State, Michigan State, and Michigan once. Their conference schedule was very similar to our conference schedule. Maybe a tiny bit tougher, but we won 2 more games than them.
And for god's sake, why do we keep bringing up the fact that they beat us? That's fine. They won. Does Texas Tech beating us make them better than Iowa State? What about TCU and Kansas? We played poorly. Iowa played well.
The teams are similar, but I don't think we have to act like they are as good as Iowa State was this year. Or that just because they beat us, they are the better team.
Iowa fans are happy with their NIT run. That's cool. I would be too. But their season was not better than ours.
So far, shots that have been falling the previous 4 games aren't falling right now. Hopefully for the Hawks this has a start and finish like the Indiana State game.
Plus what about the schedule. They can't possibily get 3 of the best teams only once again, can they?
This is what I am thinking too... plus they won't have as easy of a schedule next year. Isn't possible, that cupcake preseason and the easiest road in the Big 10. They can make it but it won't be easily.
7 of their 12 loses were by less then 5 points. If they even won 2 of those 7 games, they are easily in the NCAA Tourney this season. They are young and return a lot...those players will be a year older and wiser. On top of that, then are bringing in much better talent they is going out. Iowa makes the tourney next year.
Scott Drew didnt stand up once in the first 5 minutes. Hes has not sat down in the last 5 minutes. No coincidence there at all.
Baylor being Baylor. They had the talent this year to play and win a few games in the Dance. Instead they are playing the Hoks in the NIT Championship.
They also didn't have to play Michigan, Michigan State, or Ohio State more than one time.
I doubt they'll get a double dose of Nebby, Penn State, Purdue, and Northwestern again.
