I think Sunday evening could be a must watch for Iowa State fans.
***Big 12 Championship (Sat.-Sun.; Tulsa)***
- Thread starter theshadow
- Start date
Sunday evening??? The whole damn thing!!! I think the Semi's are gonna be amazing.
Should be finalists:
Parker, Degen, Carr, Coleman
Realistic paths:
Kysen, Yonger, Schuyler
Longshots, but I've seen crazier things happen:
Judge, Devine
Absolutely no chance:
Ramazan (sorry, he's not beating fix)
Best case scenario I think is 7 finalists, which is an insanely good tournament for the team and would have everyone here ecstatic for Detroit

Agreed, Plott lost to the MIZ backup and is the 1 seed.. 174 is a wildcard bracket. Could be a number of different finals scenarios.
I'll be glued to the television all weekend. I think the most casual fans are going to want to tune Sunday for the Semi's and Finals. I was *this* close to buying tickets to go down there but just couldn't pull the trigger. It's going to be a great weekend.
How many in the finals do we need to feel good about the team trophy? 5? How many will okie st have?
ALSO, what team is gonna come up from the pack that out of no where has a good tourney? The jack rabbits? Wyoming?
I considered it too. I told little JM maybe David Sr year well go.
Honestly, I think bonus points and backside wins will mean more in the team race. If we get 7, yeah we probably have it locked up. But 5 in the finals with good results on the backside and I will be feeling comfortable.
Quick glance at the seeds, I think Okie State gets 3 finalists. Very tough draw for Wittlake to be on O'Tooles side and Geer on Keck's side.
For teams that could sneak up, I am not sure there is one like OU from last year that could take out Iowa State, Mizzou, or OSU. But, OU has the pinners to surprise some people and sneak up so I'd probably choose them. UNI also has some guys that could make things interesting, but not sure they have the horses to contend
I think SDSU could be interesting. They have Tagg at 133, Carlson at 141, Cook is a pinner at 165, DeVos at 174, King at 184 and Sloan at 197 & NeVills at 285. They are hard to judge since we never had them in a dual. Tagg came 2nd semester and Sloan hurt early on.
This will my first time going to the conference wrestling tournament. I'm pumped!
SDSU and Mizz are my threats. They can snag bonus and that's what wins
A gray background with flying toaster GIFs would have been better than years past.
I'd selfishly like to see KC bid to host Big 12s once the Tulsa deal ends after 2024. If they can host NCAAs (2023), they can just as easily host Big 12s.
Spending two straight weekends in KC for wrestling and hoops would hurt the wallet, but be a helluva time.

If KC took over for the next 4-8 years, it would be the best decision Big12 wrestling has ever made. Cyclone fans would pack the house along with Missouri and UNI fans for icing on the cake. Would make for a loud and fun atmosphere.
