BIG 12 25-26

They have some solid wins. Beat Baylor, West Virginia and Utah all on the road, all upper half teams in the Big 12. That's not something bad teams do.

Those are some solid wins; I was just going off the eyeball evaluation vs a team (ISU) I've seen a lot.
By "not very good" I wasn't calling them "bad". I was just surprised what I saw given their record.
 
The league is weak sauce this season. Techs early wins, and into conference also, made people think they might actually be a contender but they were pretenders. A few good teams, a pack of mediocre teams and a bottom of horrible teams. My own take is that only TCU and Baylor should be ranked. I'd drop TT and WVU out, they are not Top 25 teams. ISU might be playing like a Top 25 again but I'd need to see us run off a 5 game win streak before that would be my vote.

Lot's of talk of parity "blah blah blah" but to me it's more widespread mediocrity.
 
Yeah I get that the Big 12 overall isn't very strong this year. I just think everybody in the conference is all over the place, like I said earlier (might not have been this thread) it's almost impossible to guess what the outcome of any given game will be.
 
Actually have some games today that impact the Big 12 race. Battle for 1st combined with a battle for other two to hang on to a ranking. If both Tech and WVU lose they should be outside the 25 in my opinion.

#14 Baylor @ #22 WVU -12 noon ESPN
#12 TCU @ #21 Texas Tech - 1pm FS1

Baylor and TCU need to win to have any hopes of the ultimate champ creeping back into two-seed consideration. Actually, one of them would probably need to win out the season and conference tourney.

Well, so much for Baylor. Looks like West Virginia was in control of this one for most of the game.

Just when some thought Texas Tech had run their course for the season, they grind out a win against TCU. Maybe they're not done just yet?

Arizona St. was generating some buzz early. Getting thumped on their home floor by Kansas St. today. A very mediocre K State this season. This is the kind of game ASU needs to win to keep moving forward.

The Big 12 will be lucky to get a 4 seed or two. I don't see any Big 12 team, even with a winning streak, getting anywhere close to a #2. Baylor is not a hosting team after today and TCU should be dropped to a middling 4-seed, maybe poll at #14 for Baylor's old spot.

There are only 4 ranked teams and the quality wins left on the calendar aren't numerous and nobody is going to get a top 10 win because there are no top 10 teams in the league.

I kinda feel for Olivia Miles at this point. She gave up a sure lottery pick last season for one more campaign. It doesn’t look like such a good decision anymore.

Probably making more money in Lubbock than she would have last summer in the W. And they should still be at least be playing to this month to keep a host for March and a run at home to the Sweet Sixteen.
