Big 12 Partnering with NFL for Big 12 Pro Day

This seems like a smart move to try, should get a lot of exposure and be a decent add to the conference schools' recruiting pitch.

"Big 12 partnering with NFL for unique conference-wide pro day ahead of 2024 NFL Draft​

It is believed the event will be the first of its kind for a major-college conference"​

  • Poll Poll
Should any conference tournament champs be slotted to play-in games?

Auto-bid Qualifers:

  • 100% go to round of 64

    Votes: 75 78.1%
  • Eligible for play-in games

    Votes: 21 21.9%

Seeing some spirited debate on this topic on whether 16 seed conference tournament champions should have to go to the play-in games.

My personal opinion is that if a team wins an automatic bid through the conference tournament (or reg season per conference decision) they should NOT have to go to Dayton. I believe the "last 4 in" type bubble teams should be the teams playing there. Thoughts?

Quick look at Pitt

Some nuggets:

  • BartTorvik had them winning by 2. They won by 1
  • BartTorvik has them as #85
  • NET is 67
  • 4 Q1 wins
  • 1 Q1 loss
  • 1 Q4 loss
  • KenPom is 77
  • AdjO is 24
  • AdjD is 142
  • Notable loses:
    • WVU by 25
    • Michigan by 31
  • Notable wins:
    • Northwestern by 29
    • North Carolina by 1
    • Miami by 3
  • They have SIX WINS in the VERY average ACC by 3 points or less.
  • Using BartTorvik...a loss to Pitt would be our worst loss by a LOT. Texas Tech is our worst loss and they are #54. Pitt is #85.

On That Note: Winning/Get Lucky

Welcome back to “On That Note,” CycloneFanatic’s weekly music exploration, co-hosted by @MeanDean, @CycloneRulzzz and me, cyclones500.

For this segment, we want songs with titles or lyrics containing forms of the words “win” or “luck.”

Theme has a dual seasonal overlap with NCAA Tournament (“win or go home”) and St. Patrick’s Day (obvious!) …

Credit/shout-out to @pourcyne for the “win” suggestion, in connection w/ March Madness.
