Marquette isn't going to be affected at all because Kolek isn't playing plus nobody is getting dinged for losing to UConn at this point in the calendar.

This would be more about us adding a win over the #1 team in the country on a neutral court, and Marquette not. Is our resume better after that? Could be.

Tonight’s game…

Reading that lady's tweets from during the game....yikes. She may need to take a break from basketball.

This should be a great game. Win or lose, I believe ISU NCAA seed and location is already been determined.

Agreed - these last games of the conference tourneys very rarely affect seeding at all (unless someone steals an autobid)

Plus the committee (or those who pretend to speak for them) HATE our non-conference strength of schedule and will ding us for that if at all possible. But we should have done enough for a 2-seed in Omaha

that was 5k cyclone ladies getting pregnant at once

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

With the other 2-ish seeds all laying eggs in their conference tourneys, does ISU lock up the top 2-seed with a win tonight?

I think it's already locked up.

Moving the tourney from KC would be so dumb. The southern schools don't support basketball. It's a no brainier to keep it where it is.

Been there, done that.

Getting in car now, dragging 3 little ones with me to their first big 12 tourney game. They can be as loud as they want from 5pm to 7:15pm!

Have fun.

Round 3. FIGHT!

 

[ClonerJams]

I know they have hosted the Big 12 tournament in Oklahoma City before, haven't they done Dallas as well? In either case I know it wasn't attended nearly as well as it is in KC. Having the basketball tournament in KC and the football championship in Dallas seems to be the best locations for both.

 

[Stumbles]

Baylor and Baylor fans are Charmin Ultra Soft. Complaining about the physicality of the game. "No wonder Iowa State and Houston are the top two in the league, the officials let them get away with physical guard play!!!!!"

Loser talk.

Yes it was in Dallas in early 2000s and was just blah…

 

[CloneFanInKC]

Taking my 6yo daughter b/c she asked me if we could go . Leaving around 1:30/2, going to be a long day and fun evening.

And we had the same arguments last week about the wrestling championships in Oklahoma. You out these championships where you get the most fans, not the most evenly distributed fans.

Is this the day our shooters finally 'go off'?

Probably can’t expect to match the 10-20 from 3 we had last night.

 

[twincyties]

I think that was yesterday

Come on guys. You know the entire world revolves around the state of Texas. They should never have to leave the state.
