OU and BU still playing, but terminal. Texas lost - conference not the power it used to be. It seem the committee wisely discounted our KC wins. Do we miss Kim yet?
Big XII - Done
- Thread starter BenEClone
- Start date
Kim leaving had opened up the top but we have not been able to capitalize on it so I'm a little disappointed. Not fire Bill disappointed but when he retires it will be interesting to see who gets the job
Recruiting has picked up a bunch since he took it over(I think I'm right on that) but I would like to see a broader search than just anointing him. If he wins it fair and square and at a unproven price tag I guess it would be ok.
OU holds on 54-53 (end of 3Q)
Just showed "Little Jennie" screaming in the stands. Looks just like her mom...
I think they were a torn ACL away from hosting this past weekend. Top ten class coming in. Must be doing something right.
Big 12 has been thoroughly demoted to mid-major after this season and it will get significantly worse once OU & Texas leave. BYU, UCF, Cincinnati, and Houston all finished this year with losing records.
I am looking forward to the hosting the WNIT next year if we don't win the conference AQ again.

I cannot believe the level of negativity towards the program and especially the coaches after the NCAA loss. You’d swear we just came off a 16-15 season and were ousted in the first round of the conference tourney in a blowout. Has anyone paid attention to all the first and second round upsets in the tournament? I can’t imagine their fan bases are exploding like this one. Maybe the head coach at OU or Indiana is available now to take over at ISU since they were both ousted early as well. But do we want coaches that lose early in the tourney? We’d best hold out for whoever loses the national title game.

Bill had a series of rea of really good assistants including 2 (MD, GA) that did well. Have a couple other ones that were/are head coaches. He went a long time after those without a good one. I am not a fan of turning it over to a kid. Never seems to work out. Apparently the other 2 weren't HC material.
Someone hit happy hour at Joes today. Everyone knew Big 12 was down but women’s game once past the top few programs fluctuates and we are recruiting strong, still have programs in conference that Care.
OU put up some fight but everybody else got stomped. I disliked Mulkey, but she made the league relevant - she also dominated it.
And Bill is bringing in the top rated class in the program’s history. I don’t get the doom and gloom either. Should be pumped for the future. We’ll be fine.
Definitely should be optimistic but I think Bill needs to change some things (developing/utilizing depth, diversify the offense with motion) in order to max out that incoming talent. The conference is obviously wide open to increase the odds of finally winning another conference championship which generally results in home court advantage for the first weekend of the NCAAs.
She made the Big12 like most of the other major leagues. Who challenges South Carolina in the SEC? UConn in the East? Stanford in the PAC? The womens game is extremely top heavy and has been for awhile. Mulkey gave us that type of program in conference. That's the only real difference. Theres always seems to be a thousand pound gorilla in the womens game. As great as what we are seeing in upsets who is beating South Carolina? No one is.
The Big 12 this year was a lot of good teams (except TCU) and no great teams. The three teams in the WNIT are still alive. Our record reflected that with some road losses, there was not opportunities to take a day off and unfortunately it bit us when we did not play great road games in the conference.
