For those wondering what the best conference in college basketball is, the 14 most difficult remaining strength of schedules all belong to Big 12 teams. Unreal.
Big 12 is the only remaining conference in basketball where all teams have a winning record. Every team. No.500, just winners. All of them. The whole conference.
Houston, Iowa State, Baylor and Kansas are a combined 56-1 in home games this year.
The one loss? TCU winning in 3OT at the Foster Pavilion, 105-102 in Waco.
Wow Hawkeyes aren’t gonna be happy with Spence Rattler after he mocks their gator chomp. Which Iowa invented and did not copy and paste from a different bigger brand school.
Luka Garza is the truth. If he was wearing cardinal and gold he’d be my favorite player of all time. Had a bunch of fun watching him this year. I hope he can find his niche at the next level. What a career.

The 23-24 MBB team is my favorite Cyclone team of all time. 18-0 at home (21-0 if you count KC), the best defense in program history and a team that loved playing basketball together.
This TEAM is exactly what coaches and kids should watch if they want to get better.
Iowa can’t catch a break. First Oklahoma mocks their Iowa Hawkeye Florida Gator chomp and now Minnesota, hated rival, is wearing alternate black uniforms (with no other incorporated school colors) I’m sick for all the hawk fans rn. T’s and P’s
Monte Morris only had 15 more turnovers in his career than McCaffery currently has.
Here’s the kicker, Morris has 282 more assists.
So, Connor could get 250 more assists without turning it over once, and Morris would *still* have a better A/TO ratio. Absurd.
Connor McCaffery has the best career assist/turnover ratio of any college basketball player in the last 2 decades. Why are we talking about his value? That is such an old dead argument
“Brock Purdy is the 10th-best player on the 49ers”
To earn the 'game changer' label, you must be among the top three players on your team -

From the family of Nick, we are overwhelmed with your love & support. Nick's body is no longer able to keep up the fight. We are currently talking to IA Organ Donor Network. Nick would want to help others in this way. More updates to come. We love you all.

Here's a stat:
The weakest team in the Big 12, Texas Tech, has a BPI of 9, higher than the average of the second-ranked Big Ten Conference (8.5).
Essentially, our worst team, would finish in the top half of every other conference according to BPI.
Insane.
What a gritty win by the twister sisters. Emily Ryan has been one hell of a difference maker. Audi Crooks will be the most dominant player in the conference in due time. 4-0 in the Big 12. Buy stock now 📈

the Sweet 16 was the lowest scoring since 2015. The Elite Eight had only two teams reach 70 points, and four teams had 50 points are fewer.
College hoops has work to do.
Sound the alarms!

I can’t get over the depth of Iowa State. Depth was constantly a problem even at the best of times in the Hoiberg era.
The 4th guy off the bench led the team in scoring, didn’t miss a shot, got 9 boards and played incredible defense all night.
Tested positive for COVID 19. If my body can get through a year of Taco Bell and food heated up on a pizzaz without a flinch, I like my chances.
In all seriousness, stay safe, wear a mask, wash your hands, be mindful of your surroundings, love y’all.
I know the focus is on football but the Big 12 now has:
Kansas
Houston
Arizona
Baylor
Kansas State
All five of those teams were top 3 seeds in the tournament last year. Mercy.
This is a phenomena I call the “pity cheer” and I’ve only ever heard it at Hilton Coliseum.
It’s like a choir of dad’s in unison saying “Alright, we gotta get a stop here,” and they all just stand up and start clapping after Iowa State gives up a 10-0 run. And it works!
An honor to be part of

graduation. Seems like just yesterday your family and you were in my office on your official visit. So proud of who you are and what you have accomplished.

How to make Hilton better:
1. Old lighting
2. New court with black and white paint, light stain for the hardwood
3. No more band
4. Music that students/players actually listen to
5. Juicy wiggle instead of the weirdo running around with the wack iowa state American flag
