March 5, 201214 yr 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.
March 5, 201214 yr 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.

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.

Louisville isn't joining. TCU replaces A&M and WV replaces Missouri.

Shows how much I've kept up with the conference scramble mess. If I'm the B12, I am thinking I go after BYU and Boise State to try to get back to 12. Makes sense on a few levels, and I think they both want to move up.

March 5, 201214 yr Author 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.
March 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) Boise is joining the Big East. Didn't know that either.
March 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 11:32 AM) Boise is joining the Big East. Because Boise State & South Florida are natural geographic rivals of course.
March 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 02:05 PM) Because Boise State & South Florida are natural geographic rivals of course. 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.
March 5, 201214 yr QUOTE (Heads22 @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 01:56 PM) Iowa State is finally ranked, #25. Nice to see a number next to the name. f*** yeah! First time since, what, 2005?
March 5, 201214 yr Based on a too small sample size I am liking Baylor. Of course I will be cheering for UT loudest.

March 6, 201214 yr BOU over TAM OSU over TT Baylor over KSU Kansas over TAM Mizzou over TT ISU over UT KU over Baylor ISU over Missouri ISU over KU
March 6, 201214 yr I know it's not a bold statement, but I'd bet lots of money on ISU not winning this thing.
March 6, 201214 yr QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 12:46 AM) I know it's not a bold statement, but I'd bet lots of money on ISU not winning this thing. Only team that stops Missouri on a neutral site is K-State.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Mar 6, 2012 -> 01:02 AM) Only team that stops Missouri on a neutral site is K-State. I'd feel better about our odds if we were on Kansas' side of the bracket, that's for sure. That being said, ISU has shown they can hang with Mizzou. A KU-Mizzou final is by far the most likely outcome.
March 6, 201214 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Mar 5, 2012 -> 09:06 PM) BOU over TAM OSU over TT Baylor over KSU Kansas over TAM Mizzou over TT ISU over UT KU over Baylor ISU over Missouri ISU over KU I'd be ecstatic. And ISU can hang with Mizzou. But, barring a horrible game by the Tigers, I think their athleticism will just be too much for the Cyclones, they just don't match up that well. Also, you have Texas Tech somehow losing during the play-in, then playing again in the next round. If I had to predict, just for fun... OU def A&M OSU def TT KSU def BAY KU def OU Mizzou def OSU (this was a tough call, I could easily see OSU pulling an upset here) ISU def TEX KU def KSU Mizzou def ISU Mizzou def KU

Should be a good game.

ISU can hang with Mizzou, but they were able to stop Royce White when it mattered (though, with calls going their way).

Also, Okie State is without LeBryan Nash the rest of the way. Kansas-Mizzou would be a great finale, but I can actually see a KSU-Texas final matchup to shock everyone.

They MIGHT be able to beat Iowa State, but I really won't pick it.
