....or does anybody else not really care how we do in the B12 tourney?...fact is, I find myself not caring where we're seeded in the Dance, 'cause if we can't do serious damage in the Big Dance, what does the B12 tourney really matter?....again, is it just me?....

Doing good/winning the Big 12 Tourney will make us feel better when we choke in The Dance... ...again.

....first round games scare the beejeezus out of me....usually against a team from a "lower" ranked conference that's had a week to prepare.....

Despite my previous post I think we'll be fine. ...but when games like that happen it's on the coach.

....I don't think it's all on the coach, Coach could be screaming "Fire!" at every opportunity leading into the game, but if the kids don't take him serious.....which leads me into wondering how to get/keep a kids' focus at that age....I (vaguely) remember being that age....gotta be like herding cats.....

WV fans don't demand a Big 12 championship combined with a NC in basketball like they do in football. If Dana doesn't deliver both this year.............................he gone. At least that's the word in the street. The 'shiny shoes' are saying this as well. Not.

Maybe it is just you but I want us to win out the rest of the way. The only way to be the man is to be the man. String off the B12 tourney wins and build that confidence that we can win it all.

Cheers!

Top 20 teams shouldn't be "winded" with four days of rest/practice.

Win three games this week, and then win the last six over the next month.

Our draw last season, had we gotten past SFA, was very favorable...

Our half of the bracket featured a failing Xavier, an average ND and a Wisconsin team with no bench....

I'll bet the committee stays up nights trying to figure out how to screw WVU ... NOT!

Not saying that, it just works out that way

Sfa had won 21 straight and had a rpi in the 20s

Should have been a 1 seed on 2010 instead a 2 with overall #1 Kentucky

Always the toughest region, just like duke is always on the weakest

I want the conference title. We don't often have teams that can play for conference titles so when we're here let's make the most of it.

Also a conference title likely gets us to a 2 seed where our chances of losing in the first round drop significantly

It's just you. Remember how good this felt...

Joe Lunardi said this weekend he felt that even if we win the tourney the highest we would be seeded would be a #3.

Well see. Lunardi's accuracy on seed projections is hardly considered Gospel. But after double checking it would probably be tough to jump 5 teams when 2 of the PAC teams sit in front of us meaning atleast one is going bare minimum make the Final in all likelihood. Our ceiling may be the highest possible 3
