Heads22 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Should be fun. If Kansas, Mizzou, Iowa State and Kansas State all win their quarterfinal matchup, the Sprint Center should be a madhouse. Can't wait for it to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 Not that I miss Colorado and Nebraska when it comes to basketball, but I do miss the old 12-team tournament. Felt a bit grander. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt a bit grander. Well, it gets back to 12 next year, right? TCU and WV? Then A&M drops out, and is replaced by Louisville? I am actually not sure about how all that works out timing-wise. Â By the way, my pick for the team to upset someone in this tourney is Oklahoma State. Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heads22 Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 Boise is never going to join the Big 12. The conference isn't going to add a former JUCO with nothing outside of its football program that far outside the conference footprint.

Yeah, that is one of the many things that bothers me about this whole conference scramble. You lose the geographic rivalry aspects, not to mention saddle the schools with higher travel costs, and take the students out of their rhythm even further.

That being said, ISU has shown they can hang with Mizzou. Â A KU-Mizzou final is by far the most likely outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Nash means no threat from Ok State. Texas isn't good. I won't get on that bandwagon. They MIGHT be able to beat Iowa State, but I really won't pick it.
