Thank you for highlighting exactly why I’m not missing the PAC one tiny bit.

Plus we'd be debating how good this team is mowing down crappy Pac teams instead of being impressed by the road wins in the Big 12. Doubt we'd be in consideration for the 3 seed as well.

ISU is too short handed to compete with Houston today.

Watching Houston at home got me thinking about these Big XII arenas and the capacities and some history and I found this ranking of the arenas. I think Okie St is way to high and certainly not above McKale

Houston's Arena, Fertitta Center, is the smallest or 2nd smallest venue of the major conference teams. 7100. Less than half of McKale.

Aren't basketball venues called arenas and not stadiums? Football fields are called stadiums.

Otz was hired at the same time Tommy was.

They’re both out of the park hires IMHO.

Glad Houston took care of business. It got a bit close, but now we just need to take care of business against Utah to be back alone in 2nd.

Oh, and congrats to Houston for winning the Big 12. Well deserved.

He tried to win it for KU - very late call of an out-of-bounds by TT, was overruled by another red who called a foul on KU...

I think it is only because Tommy and Jedd are friends and it was a cool thing Tommy did

I wouldn't read anything more into it. Think it is just the jolted lover podcaster playing things up to feel important because he is so mad still

Great game, and I agree. Iowa State is for real too. Both teams are tough defensively and have a balanced offense. IMO, the Cats are on par with both teams defensively but lack a similar reliable 3 pt threat. I could see either team reaching the Final Four.

I agree with everything you said. If Arizona had the 3 pt threat that could get their own shot Ariz would be a final four contender. Seems funny to say but Arizona will only go as far as their defense takes them.
