Remember when the B12 was good at basketball

[rmilia1]

[Beengay fudgepackers]

No, I don't remember that.

What was the last big12 team to make final 4 not named kansas?

Off top of my head I can't get one.

Ok state had a good run was that final 4 or elite 8?

Texas in 03?

I know Baylor played duke in the elite the yr duke won their last title

Yeah I think elite 8 is the peak outside kansas.

And even KU is known for a few chokes.

B12 tapping out.

Heh, still gotta pull for the Horns upset (most disappointing team the season including Florida and Michigan).

I still think it was the strongest conference this yr.

Is that even an upset. Seeding doesn't mean much. I thought UT went off as a favorite.

It was but because as people said. It was 10 teams of balance. No really good teams. In a down year that works. But makes you exposed come tourney time.

I don't know. they did quite well in non conference play. crazy stuff happens in a single elimination tourney

Opened as a pick-em. It probably did move in UT's direction. Just seems like the Horns are the dog after their performance this year.

They were the deepest conference in terms of having many quality teams. They had zero elite teams, though. Two upsets doesn't really speak to that since this shit happens, but this is why I laughed when people suggested Kansas as potential NC contenders. Nothing they did on the court, besides beat a bunch of solid but not excellent teams, suggests they are the kind of team we have seen from Kansas squads of the past.

So did BE. And everyone just blows them off as not even being a major conference lol

how many teams in the pac12 would u consider elite? Kansas beat Utah on a neutral court

 

[MI Nightmare]

Kansas will choke on ND's offense soon enough.

It is true. You can't totally judge a conference by it's tourney performance.

That said, losing two 3 seeds in an hour is pretty bad.

hopefully they choke on Wichita or indianas
