time to do our part tomorrow

One of the worst Zags teams in a long time. It'll be interesting to see how they'll bounce back next year and then in '26 the schedule will get a little bit tougher.

Big 12 might as well get 3 more through tomorrow!

Remember that Gonzaga end of game next time we don’t execute end of game lol

WI and BYU both had some cluster****s late. And heck Houston wasn't exactly smooth with it.

I really will have to hold my nose rooting for Arizona tomorrow. I dislike them way more than BYU.

Don't know about you, but when I hear Lady Gaga I want to get out on the hardwood

Is BYU a little cocky? Sure. But does it warrant them being hated? No, they’re kids. I think most are just salty we lost to them 3 of the last 4 in chippy competitive games. Which sucks, but they have a solid basketball team and I tip my cap to them as much as I hate losing to them. Great addition to the conference.

Obviously feel how you’re gonna feel but let’s calm down lol

Check the ages.

Gotta beat ACC/SEC/BIG 10 teams to do it as well.

It'd be a nice feather in the Big XII conference's cap if all 3 could pull that off.

How much longer does Few have though? I see that program falling off when he decides to retire.

I’d be happy with 2. Baylor would be an amazing upset to get though.

Great night for the B12, 3-0, let's keep it going tomorrow and make it 3-0 again.

The biggest risk if the big 12 had taken them

KU really let this conference down

We could have been a sneaky 11-0 had they played to their level from November/December, although I’m not sure it would have gotten much oxygen with the BIG starting 10-0

Between that and the location, I never understood the push to add them to the Big 12

Coworker is a Wisconsin graduate. I told him yesterday the final score will be 94-90. Wasn’t too far off

Wonder if conference records will be brought up at all tomorrow? Probably will focus on the total wins without mentioning the losses if I know how TV execs work.

I agreed before rev sharing

But in the revenue sharing era, had they joined the Big 12, they could spend much more in basketball salaries than football schools across the country. In theory many millions more

Between boosters laundering NIL money through the AD and their Big 12 share, they’d be able to spend a lot to offset the loss of Few
