    Expectations for 2018-2019

    I saw this I was tagged in this post, and it gave me an idea, which I've tweeted about here. https://twitter.com/Big12BasketBlog Pulling together some data on my end and using the great barttorvik.com site, I've put together a Google Sheet on Big 12 rosters for the 2019 season. Each team has...

    Trying out a new feature this week. I'm calling it #TheTuesdayTally for now. Trying to decide if it will be weekly or bi-weekly, but basically, I'm finding an interesting statistic, trend, or factoid about each Big 12 team and reporting it here. As I focus more and more on game clips in the...

    Big 12 Power Rankings at The Big 12 BasketBlog

    I posted by weekly Big 12 Power Rankings one day late, but here they are. This is a little different this week, but I examined one reason to be optimistic and pessimistic about each Big 12 team headed into conference play. It's a nice reset as we head into conference play tonight. Enjoy...

    Came here to post my current Bracketology projection with analysis on each Big 12 team's tournament outlook. Seems like a perfect time to post it considering the currently popular thread by someone negging Iowa State's tournament chances...

    Big 12 Power Rankings at The Big 12 BasketBlog

    I guess I don't think it'll happen unless there is a consistent trend over 2-4 games of Iowa State starting games slow and being down 12-4 or 15-7 with Beverly out there. And if that happens, I agree with what someone else said -- I think Brase would likely start. His shooting and rebounding is...

    Big 12 Power Rankings at The Big 12 BasketBlog

    Yeah, after watching the game last night, his right elbow probably doesn't flare out to the right as drastically as I thought, but there's definitely some flare there. It's not the perfect elbow-in jumper that Donovan Jackson has. Jackson's elbow is almost aggressively perfectly straight.

    Big 12 Power Rankings at The Big 12 BasketBlog

    I originally posted my Big 12 Power Rankings here and they've been well-received. I've gotten more views to my blog from this forum than Twitter or any other team sites. (The opinion that Iowa State fans are some of the most passionate in the nation is apparently true.) For anyone who doesn't...

    Big 12 Power Rankings Post - November 16 Edition

    I'm not sure why my background truly matters. There are plenty of college basketball writers like Seth Davis who went to Duke and have been writing for years, and his writing is as bland as can be. Zach Lowe was working as a crime reporter when he started blogging the NBA. But sure, I've...

    Big 12 Power Rankings Post - November 16 Edition

    Someone had posted the preseason preview for Iowa State that I wrote on this forum, and it got a TON of hits. By far the most of any team preview that I wrote. Wanted to let the people here know I'm doing a weekly Power Rankings post as well, kind of similar to the old Luke Winn Power Rankings...

    I found this article previewing ISU's season on Twitter. Thoughts?

    So I just wanted to come here and say thanks to everyone who read the preview. I'm the site runner for the Big 12 BasketBlog and will be posting about Big 12 basketball all season long. I was wowed by the number of views I had for the ISU preview that came from this forum. Far more than the...
