I'm just hoping my Spartans make the tournament this year, we need to pretty much win our last few games to have a good shot. Luckily we had a very tough schedule. If we manage to sneak in, watch out for Sparty :)

I'd be surprised if they didn't get in. Nice come from behind win at home against the Badgers. They are in a tough conference with a tough schedule
 
With Brandon Davies off the team BYU just lost a chance at a number one seed, unless every other team screws up.
 
Good win for the teasippers tonight in Wacko. I actually rooted for those clowns because I just dislike Baylor basketball that much.

Hopefully the Ags will knock off Missouri or Texas Tech again on Thursday and give the Horns a little better game on Friday (assuming they beat Baylor again [or OU if a huge upset happens] on Wednesday) than they did the previous two meetings this year.

This is actually the least hateable Longhorn hoops team in a while. Outside of J'Covan Brown, pretty much all the regulars just play the game hard without too much douchery ;). Fun to watch when they're playing well.

Here's the Big 12 Tournament schedule, for anyone who's interested. Really surprised to see Colorado jump all the way up to the #5 seed. Huge opportunity for them to exact revenge on Iowa State, beat K-State again and punch a ticket to the NCAAs.

How has this thread gone so dormant in one of the best tournaments ever, no number 1 or 2 seeds survive to the final four.

UConn has become the favorite to win it all after sweeping the Big East and winning 9 in a row. Butler proves not to be a cinderella and is back to the finals. VCU maybe with the biggest upsets of all to come out of the opening round and pick off Kansas.
 
I am pissed KU lost but think UK should win this tourney fairly easily now

My favorites in terms of odds winning it all in decreasing order
1)UK
2) VCU
3)uconn
4)butler

The way uconn is playing? really? By that argument, VCU should be favored after dominating a Georgetown, a Purdue and a KU team

But then I look at your location and it makes sense why you feel the way you do lol

Sure VCU has played 5 games already but UConn swept the Big East tourny and won 5 in a row when nobody thought they would even win 1 game.

KU and UConn should be evenly matched and it will probably come down to one final shot.

I would still put Butler ahead of VCU, they came one shot away from winning last year.

I think it will be a great game as both teams have played a ton of down-to-the-wire games lately. Vegas has UK as the early favorite, though.

I think one thing the last couple of weeks has proved is that nothing is easy in the tournament.

For me it's (in descending order) UK, Butler, UConn, VCU.
 
Ohio State was the favorite as well, the way this thing has been going any of the four could wind up winning it all.
