NCAA 20-21

Isn’t Buffalo Wild Wings Chad your one buddy who sucks at big buck hunter?

dude owes me a quarter.

Yes, it's a good game because creighton should be good. Geography has nothing to do with it.

The game actually doesn't bother me that much b/c it's not a home and home and we don't have much control over the opponent. I think the "challenge" itself makes less sense. It's a crappy league outside of one school.

I just had to give Omaha-coach a hard time b/c he was on a path of calling it the buzz-iest game since Mizzou 2012.

Buffalo Wild Wings Chad is the dude that a lot of posters on here care so much about.
He's the one they look to for validation whether KU's unprecedented Big 12 conference streak even matters.
He's the one who they ask whether the team we are playing against is cool enough.

"No bro, Big 12? Conference is weak. ACC. They've had one good player, Trae Young. Try winning whatever number in a row in the ACC against Duke and UNC. And Creighton? I mean, I think I had them in the Sweet 16 last year. You wanna play Ohio State, UCLA, good teams like those guys."

[CrimsonNBlue]

Serious question if anyone knows, are Wichita State and Creighton still arch rivals?

That crappy league won the series 8-2.

I'm not concerned about what the series means/does for the league.

I was just pointing out the league isn't as "crappy" as you make it seem. I'm with you on the fact I don't care about which conference wins it, but I'm all in on it simply because it means KU will be playing a top team from a power conference, even if some people call it a crappy league. Give me these challenge games all day over another team from the Sun Belt.

Big 12 was also crappy this year, but again, that's not my point at all.


The series is not replacing a Sun Belt game. And Creighton isn't replacing a Sun Belt team. They're replacing Villanova.

I also don't completely agree that the Big East is still a power conference. And, I like ribbing twocoach about Creighton still not being a power conference team.

[PhDhawk]

crappy can mean a lot of things.

Teams that have some cache, like Georgetown and St. John's suck. And then School's like Seton Hall that until recently hadn't been relevant are good as are schools like Creighton who still seems like a solid mid-major.

That goes to my issue with the series. The Big East is not a league where you can say year in and year out that they're going to get 4-8 teams in the tourney with one team vying for a 1 or 2 seed. It also lacks the fallback of having flagship institutions up and down its table.

For KU's sake, I wish our league would do away with it.

I disagree that you can't count on them to be a good conference (insofar as you can count on any conference). I think they play good ball.

But I don't think perception of the league is any good, and I don't think anyone takes them seriously. Hell, no one even really knows whether they're a major or mid-major anymore. Part of that might just be that they don't play football. Part of it is it will never again be the big east. Part of it is Adding several (albeit good) mid-majors. Who knows if bringing back UConn will do anything to help that.

Not quite but close.
BWW Chad doesn't register for sports boards.
He does have a twitter account but mostly just comments on NFL.

If there's an active twitter account, the tweets will get posted on this message bored.

Big 12 seemed down this year.. but then again. Big 12 had arguably the two best teams in the country (two of the top 5 teams at worst)

And would have gotten maybe half the league into the tournament. Kansas and baylor obvious locks. with west virginia, texas tech, oklahoma, texas all somewhere on the bubble

the season seems like an eternity ago

[PhDhawk]

the season seems like an eternity ago

yeah, but I thought today was Wednesday until about an hour ago, when I was honestly shocked to see that its Thursday.

Time is meaningless right now.

Last week I thought Tuesday was Friday. And I still work M-F every week.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Looks like we added another Creighton to the schedule:
