If Kansas keeps winning those close games they could win it again for the gazillionth time.

I can't decide if the league is good or not. Before conference play started it looked damn good. Now, many teams seem to have frequent brain farts.

Last night I watched an injury plagued TCU that was 2-5 and 3rd to last in the conference beat a 2nd place 5-2 West Virginia team. WTF.

This league is very good. I think it was the 2nd best conference entering league play in the KenPom history(stat I got off a podcast, which I hope I'm remembering correctly), which dates back about 15 years or so.

Also TCU is top 20 in basically every metric, don't think just because they were 2-5 in league play mean they aren't a very good team. They lost their 5 league games by like 16 points or something stupid like that.

They are going to kill each other though.

They will but it won't have to much of an overall effect on seeding come tournament time. But even if a team like TCU loses 10 games, they'll still be a 3/4 seed more than likely.

2004 ACC had to have been #1.

I don't recall them(it was Parrish and Norlander from CBS) saying exactly who it was. But that wouldn't surprise me in the least. Maryland finished 6th in the league and ended up being a 4 seed in the tournament. lol crazy.

Seven (out of 9) teams finished in the kenpom top 30.

Oklahoma fans...:L:L:L

You storm the court even though you’re ranked 12th and just beat your 4th top 10 team on the season.

Huge win for OU and the rest of the league. Kansas would have pretty much wrapped up the league regular season with that win.

Kansas has won 17 of the last 20 meetings with Oklahoma, so that was a huge W for the Sooners. Conference play on the road is a bitch....especially in the Big XII. That's what has made Kansas such a force. They usually win anywhere more often than not...13 straight regular season Big XII titles. That's impressive.

Allen Fieldhouse doesn’t appear to intimidate like it used to. It’s getting sweaty under Bill Self’s hairpiece.

I said this a while ago and it may even be worse than I originally thought. The winner might have 5-6 losses before this is over.

I'm not sure any arena does anymore.

Big 12 very much up for grabs at the moment. Could this be the year KU doesn't win it?
