They definitely are. They are not juggernauts though. I think think 13-5 might win the conference outright. I'd say it will at least garner a tie (and I'd take the tie with K State or Baylor, anyone but KU).
Man,that was one ugly game. Between poor play at times by both teams and bad refs it was hard to watch.
After watching some of these games lately I have to wonder... what happened to Freedom of Movement? Teams like KSU and Texas etc are getting away with a ton of grabbing, holding and physical play.

Yeah and that was KSU’s super bowl. It may be a full arena when they play but the crowd won’t be like it was last night. And even then it isn’t like Hilton or Allen Fieldhouse
How is the regular season title relevant in the grand scheme of things?
Outside of stopping the KU streak, it’s also a footnote to what you do in the tournament:
You nailed it. Is that guy from a different planet? Only Steve Alford agrees with him.
Because regular season championships are what everyone acknowledges is the true conference champion. That helps with things such as fan enthusiasm, recruiting and media coverage the following season.
It's not a footnote when recruiting...or in the trophy case...or in the rafters...or to fans...or to former players...or to current players...or to the rest of the B12...or to knowledgeable people.

Again, KU has lost plenty of games at home the past two seasons. They were 7-2 at home last year in conference play.
The West Virginia Fall Out...just foul a little less than WV and you are good to go.
Because it's a bigger accomplishment to come out on top in a 16-game 2 month slog vs. getting hot in a 3 day single elimination tournament.
And KU has placed more emphasis on it for the rest of the Big 12. If we are the ones to end the streak, we will get a LOT of national publicity.
No, the regular season conference champion is what everyone acknowledges as the regular season conference champion. Which is also an irrelevant footnote not even a week later, same with the conference tournament.
Recruits acknowledge what you tell them and outside of the KU streak, most college basketball fans couldn’t tell you the regular season P6 champion from even a year ago.
I get that, but 3 home loses in the previous 2 seasons, and this is one of the worst KU teams we've seen in awhile. Its hard for me to assume they will win out at home with how terrible they have looked at times.
Say what you want about KSt they walked into our house and stole a huge win. Our game in Manhattan should decide our chances of winning an outright championship.
KSt has 5 games left on the schedule they could lose.
Kansas on the other hand could run the table if they can pull that enormous yellow beak out of their ass. Doubt they will but the schedule is favorable.
