Too bad. It would have been way better if St. Mary was rolling zags on a Saturday night.
Dunno. I assume Houston will be in Memphis and so will Tennessee? But I could be wrong.
hot take. i really dont like cougars getting shortened to 'the cougs'
other than my strong desire to see Baylor burned to the ground, as long as ISU stays ahead of Baylor I couldn't care less what Baylor moving ahead of Alabama affects.
They acted like punks after that game.
Well, the thought would be that if Baylor gets to memphis, they're not competing with us for Omaha.
TCU probably underperformed more this year than any team in the league
there's a certain irony that Knoxville is actually a lot closer to Charlotte than it is Memphis, but Memphis is considered a more desirable location for Tennessee than Charlotte. Maybe because Tennessee is a "statewide" school, and Memphis would be closer for most of the fans. Otherwise, (shrug).
but then like I said, as long as we stay ahead of Baylor I couldn't care less where they land. (I understand what you're saying, though - just expressing my own opinion on the subject)
For sure. I'd just like to have that extra cushion in case the committee sees things differently.
Not sure underperformed is the right word. They honestly should have won that game in Lawrence...the refs bailed KU out 100% and you can't tell me otherwise. They beat OU. They beat Houston. They won at Baylor.
They have losses by 4 to Cincy. By 1 to Iowa State. By 2 to Texas Tech.
They're really close to tied with us honestly.
BYU down 17 at half scored 58 in second and ends up winning by 12. So weak.
If we win out I don’t see how a 14-4 big 12 team isn’t a top 6/7 team regardless of Baylor’s non conf or head to head home game. That would be an incredible record vs this conference.
I forgot about UT, who has done worse vs expectations, but they were picked 5th preseason and with their returning talent, they were expected to better than they are. Still good, don't get me wrong, as this conference will do that to you.
A lot of Big 12 teams will be so happy to be playing someone from out of conference (including us). Just a meatgrinder.
