RC MAN.....crazy game last night. Another big12 bites the dust. Come on homboi, just accept it not. The big12 is, in a simple term, overrated
Hello RC, Methzoo LOL, I've never thought one thing or another about them thru all my years. Are ya saying ya don't miss em?
I was tired of fighting with a SEC guy who only had 2 teams in the 64-team tournament and claiming that was better than 7. At a certain point, why bang your head?

We can't help the media bias. I figured you'd admit it now that another big12 went down.
After all these years of your league failing over and over, you're still not gonna do it.
Ok.
But the basketball nation is laughing their *** off. Again.

In this case yes. So you're admitting it? I know it kind of deminishes your national conference titles, and connects those dots your people have been running from for decades, but give it time. Kansas is still an ok basketball program.

I'm not quite sure I get your argument. I get your agenda.
SEC's top 2 (now for the record, you only got three teams into the tournament) teams made it to the second round of the tournament.
Big12's top 3 (of 4) teams made it to the second round of the tournament.
Texas lost on a prayer and that's the nature of the tournament.
For the record, you are hooting and hollering quite a bit against the Big12 when Kentucky may go home today, since Indiana is a very dangerous team.
No I just find it funny that Rupp has 3 or 4 Threads calling out a league for sending 70% of it's teams to the Tournament. Are there threads on UofL boards about the SEC NIT teams? Let's look at the SEC and the Big12 in the Sweet 16, Elite 8 and Final Four. We will compare then. I don't run from anything.

It's just typical. The league is overrated. It's just what it is.
UK won't lose to Indiana, but I bet Kansas loses to Uconn. Big12 champ usually goes home 2nd round.
Your league is hyped up, by the media, and that's why you get so many teams in. Once they're in, they're out, because that's what being overrated is. Now, eventually, you've got to come to terms with this.
Our league is hyped by the media, in part, based on how it performs in the out of conference schedule. If the SEC performed well in the out of conference, it would be hyped too.
Better to underperform early, than to suck late, which is what you do.
I guess I just don't understand what it would take for big12 fans to admit the league is overrated. It's gets its *** handed to it yearly in the tournament, Kansas wins it with ease every single year, Kansas goes home early nearly every single year. I mean, tell me, how much of this does it take for you to say, hey, the league isn't as good as we think?
You are talking in absolutes. Good luck on your game today. I'm calling Kentucky/Indiana a pick-em and look forward to watching what Crean look creepy in one way or another today.
I don't care about the Big 12 at all, but damn if I don't admire your passion, buddy. Go get 'em.
Are you kidding? Better to stay home than play in the NCAA? Better to Suck early? Come on man...
Ku's big 12 streak means absolutely nothing. No other team can get an outright? I know ku gets all the calls in that league but it's just embarassing.
How well it performs in the out-of-conference schedule? The true test is playing out-of-conference teams in the tournament. I'll take the SEC's record over the past decade than the B12 any day. Congrats on being the top turd on a big pile of crap.
I'll take the SEC's tournament history over your crap leagues ANY day. You want to play that game? Really?
Enjoy beating St. Peter's in your 3rd game. Enjoy the media hype. The SEC has the hardware, your league has the losses.
My post was in response to the Big 12 being hyped. The hype happens before the NCAA tournament and is valid based on what I posted.
Big12 fans want to talk brag about getting bids (they shouldn't get), then don't want to discus what happens as soon as they step out of conference in the tournament. And we all know why.
They totally suck. One of the worst leagues all time in the NCAA's.
When you consider bid numbers. The SEC totally kicks their *** in this category, which, they won't admit, is all that matters.

That's the whole point. As has been said before, and the gist of this thread, the B12 is over rated.
Really? I think we have played the games on the court...the Big12 and SEC has played a head-to-head challenge for the last 3 years. Big12 7-3 first year, 6-4 the second year and 7-3 this season. For the mathematically-challenge, that is 20-10. in favor of the Big12.
If you think you're fooling anyone running in a circle talking about unearned bids that we've already explained away, you're dumb.
Your league GETS BEAT on the COURT every f'ing tournament. It's all BS. Those bids are a joke.
You don't think we know why you don't want to discuss what happens to those bids? The SEC out performs the BIG12 period. Keep running from it, it's hilarious.
BUT BUT BUT........BIDS..........
How many second round exists has Bill Self had at Kansas after dominating that league?
No BUTS...I disagree with you that SEC teams that are home watching the tournament on TV right now because they suck AND don't get beat in the NCAA Tournament proves that the SEC is better than the Big12. At least 70% of the Big12 goes...SEC will never be able to say that. Never.
Do you ever wish someone besides Kansas ( and they usually don't either) could perform in the NCAA tournament from the little12?
Well then, can you explain why playing in the B12 doesn't prepare the teams for playing in the tournament? Is it because the competition isn't that tough, or is it just bad luck?
