Why is this OT?

Why is this OT?

All non-Liam McNeeley topics are currently classified as OT

BYU fans at Providence is as good as it gets. It’s America’s matchup.

Wanted Ku but Baylor fine

 

[EROCK CONN]

Strong cowardice from Kansas.

 

[gsmooth]

I know if a team played on the road last year they will play at home the upcoming year, at least for the most part if not entirely. However, can someone tell me 1) who decides the match ups and 2) how the match ups are decided?

Why are we not matched up against KU?

 

[nashusky109]

I'm pretty sure they set this as a rule when they first came up with the Big East/Big 12 challenge but teams cannot play each other back to back years. Since KU hosted us as much as we wanted them at home that was never going to happen.

They do not do rematches. Always play a different team than you played the year before. Baylor home is the best outcome we could get.

Houston.

Houston.

Ehh, we've played Houston at home several times already. Recently.

From yesterday:

Baylor. Like this matchup!

And they might be due for a home game. They are just #1 in the Coward rankings. They run from any OOC opponent that isn't a HBCU.

Whatever, if they wanted the matchup, which would have been the best for both schools and college hoops, and conferences and tv, they would be playing it.... i can hear the chicken clucks from Lawrence.

The Commissioners agree on it, based primarily on what the TV people want.

They're bad, gonna be like the 7th or 8th best team in the Big East even if everything breaks right for them. They don't deserve a top team

Kansas has no say in it. Kansas fans are complaining too, because they wanted it. KU isn't Duke, they welcome these games.
