Um, baseball's back.

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.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 09:26 AM) 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. By the way, my pick for the team to upset someone in this tourney is Oklahoma State. No. It'll be 10 next year. Louisville isn't joining. TCU replaces A&M and WV replaces Missouri.

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.

Royce White gets Big 12 Newcomer of the Year and Fred Hoiberg and Bill Self get co-Big 12 coach of the year. Surprised Haith didn't get anything, but Hoiberg and Self definitely aren't wrong choices.

Let's go Redbirds.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 3, 2012 -> 07:59 PM) Iowa State beats Baylor to get the 3 seed in the Big 12 tourney, lining up on Mizzou's half. All I can think is the Mortal Kombat dude saying "Round 3, fight!" Welcome to Thunderdome if we get past Texas. Hopefully the win over Baylor can finally get us off of Jerry Palm's bubble. Most awesome moment tonight was Christopherson hitting a free throw to put us up 8 with 9.2 left, then they sub him out. Instead of going straight to the bench, he heads to mid court, gets on his knees, and kisses the Iowa State logo at center court. Gonna miss watching him ball in Hilton, but glad he's going out on a tourney team - one that's looking f***ing dangerous right now. If they can make a little noise in Kansas City, they could be a very dangerous 6 seed.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 09:27 AM) I'll take it. I'd love to see them knock off Baylor at home to put an exclamation point on a pretty fantastic B12 season. I had a good feeling Freddy would get the team better, but this team has exceeded expectations, especially once the B12 season started. That loss to Drake still stings though. Agreed on all three, I think NU is headed for the NIT. Should be a great game. Game is already sold out but they are still selling SRO tickets. It's a totally different team than the one that lost to Drake and UNI. And yeah, once some AQ bids are stolen, I expect NW to fall off the bubble. Of course, I also expect them to lose to Iowa. QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Mar 1, 2012 -> 09:42 AM) Yes. Iowa with a nice controlling road win in Nebraska. And yes, I know Nebraska sucks, but newsflash, Iowa has been absolutely horrendous since Alford left, so playing near .500 ball in conference is great. Iowa had some horrible early season losses which really killed their RPI (which is horrific). Its too bad they will lose Gatens. Guy has been money this year. Iowa has been the most erratic team I've ever seen.

Shockers falling asleep a bit here.

i missed you guys

If the committee is really about rewarding teams that challenge themselves, the Beach should be encouraged.

Mizzou wins by six. Not a fan of the officiating tonight, but whatever. We're not going to get those calls on the road. Sure as hell hope we get Mizzou back next week.

ISU-Mizzou still fantastic. Mizzou up 60-59 with 7:50 left.

Up 40-36 at Mizzou at the half. About as much as I can ask for.

Yay, hot start at Mizzou, up 18-14 early. Should be a great game. It's on YES if any of you have that, I believe.

I have a serious crush on Mexican beers, mainly Dos Equis and Corona.

The bubble is so damn soft.

Number one basketball center in the nation from the class of 2011 is visiting Iowa State this weekend. Get him Fred!

If nothing else, it appears that he's trying.

Can't sleep. Have to be at work in just under four hours. Already took a Unisom. This sucks.

You guys going to want a March Madness sub forum again? Do we want to put conference tourney stuff in there? I don't remember what we did before as far as that. Horizon League is the first to begin on the 28th.

I don't care if we're going to suck this year. I miss White Sox baseball.

OK, I'm watching the start of Illinois/Iowa. Does Illinois have any sort of plan or anything on offense?
