Does the B12 Tournament matter?

[goody2012]

Sports are fun and the Big 12 tournament is fun, so yea, it matters.

It doesn't matter... is a loser mentality. Coping mechanism. Who doesn't want to win a trophy? If nothing else, regular season championships are what should be debated. Whose dumb idea was it to have a regular season champ? It reminds me of those Utah jazz teams from a few years ago when Niang played there. They'd win 50+regular season games then could barely get out of the first round of the playoffs each year

It can if you need a win to get into the field, for Iowa state this year, no it does not matter

If you watched any of the 4 games today you know these guys care about it.

IDK about that. I heard King McClure this morning say that players are tired of playing one another by now and just want to move on to the dance. He played at the highest level. I respect his views as a past player. Actually, his comments were why I brought the topic.

Frankly, I suspect fans care more than many of the players who have their eyes on something far more important. And coaches don't want tired nor injured teams going into next week.

Well if he is talking to his Baylor Brethren, I am sure they are tired as hell of playing ISU.

Lol, no wonder EMAW pretends they don’t care

If KSU can win a game or 2, they are back in the conversation for a 2 seed. If they lose to TCU, they might drop to a 4.

Nope, doesn't matter.

And....4 seed!

Yup. I have a better understanding tonight of why surly started this thread. Worried only one team would show up.

After drinking since the ISU game, I've been having trouble keeping track between the purples of who is who. Purple is the worst color.

It was TCU Purple Rain with all those 3s tonight. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

This thread is an instant classic with Surly jinxing his team beyond balls.

I looked at my phone earlier today and saw TCU -2 and I thought that cannot be right with KSU being an underdog in KC. Wow, that is why you don't **** with Vegas.

This was less jinx and more preemptive coping.

This just in, losers say "winning doesn't matter."

I thought KU fans booed a lot. Holy cow KSU is an angry fan base.

I feel you … after watching for 10 minutes my kid had to tell me KSU was wearing white.

Combine us and KU tomorrow in the semifinal tomorrow night Tmobile will be filled with expressive fans voicing their displeasure over the referee's decision making.

This one drank too much grape kool-aid....

 

[mynameisjonas]

Both Iowa State and Kansas State each have two regular season big 12 championships. The separator is the big 12 tournament titles, and that’s where Kansas state is a few fries short of a happy meal.

Wonder if Surly will revisit this thread to pontificate some more?
