Ucla beat us in 07

Oregon beat us in 17
USC slaughtered us in 21

Of course, I don’t wanna be a roiboi about it. But it’s quite the anomaly in Self’s otherwise dominant career
Eh, Bill has 16 tournament losses in 20 years. I don’t think a concentration of four of the losses to one conference is all that surprising.

This.


I am not scared of the pac12 any more than the big10 or ACC. Less probably if we are being honest.

By BIG 12 standards. the big 10 is awful this year. the acc is awful this year. the pac 10 is awful this year.

I'm guessing the B12 will have several misfires in the tournament, early flame outs. The top half may be better than the B10's, IDK, but the bottom half isn't.

The "bottom half" of the Big 12 is absolutely not weaker than the "bottom half" of the B1G.

But, I'll grant that you might have a lot more historical understanding of the bottom half of the Big 12 than anyone else here.

i think the BIG 12 is more likely to have 5 or 6 teams in the sweet 16. and 3 or 4 teams in the elite 8. than they are to flameout in the first weekend.

over the last 10 years his son could count the number of times his team finished high enough in the B12 standings to where he could count to.

NET rankings of the bottom 5 teams in the Big 12: 23, 27, 47, 50, 65

NET rankings of bottom 7 teams in the Big 10: 41, 55, 60, 64, 74, 94, 239

Go sell that nonsense somewhere else.
