At least on paper, the 2023 Big 12 post season MBB tournament could be *the* most competitive conference tournament in the history of conference tournaments:

Other than Cyclone Nation, no one could be happier to see Iowa State snap out of their February slump by dominating #7 Baylor on the road in the regular season finally than the post season tournament hosts in Kansas City. The field already includes 5 ranked teams, including both Kansas teams. And now, to set the stage, hope for the league's most insane fan has been re-kindled.

It's been 4 years since ISU's last league tournament title for MBB. Could it happen again in 2023? If so, who will be the oppoents in addition to Baylor?

Kids and social media

Do your kids have social media? If so what age are they and what do they have? What kind of parental controls have you put in place? What discussions and things have you looked into for it? I haven’t had Facebook, Snapchat, twitter, take your pick for over 7 years (and all I really had was Facebook). I have a 14 yr old daughter begging me for Snapchat and am Leary about letting her get it. Appreciate any input given the subject!
