    We're back on path for that, which would mean OKC for the first weekend and Houston for the second weekend. The Big12 tourney double bye means one win is probably enough to secure that position, but two wins for sure. Gives us a chance to avenge that Kansas loss if TCU doesn't get them.

    No idea where High Point will get seeded if they continue to win this game (I'm guessing 11 or 12?), but I would absolutely hate to play them in the first round.

    Michigan v Michigan State later this afternoon for further potential seeding chaos.

    We're right where we need to be for the best tourney travel situation and potential final four advancement. I haven't watched too many Arizona, Michigan, and Duke games, but from what I saw, I think they're collectively a big gap ahead of the rest of the 1's and 2's. Florida has rolling, but I think they're closer to the second tier than the first. Still not has hopeful as last season, but some hope is better than none.

    CF’s won’t recognize me on my laptop. How do I contact the CF people to resolve this?

    I would post details in the Feedback Forum, @ Clutch and The Doctor of Dunk, one of the users may be able to help you as well.

    Also, reminds me of this:

    The 3 Truths of Religion

    Jews do not recognize Jesus as the Son of God
    Protestants do not recognize the Pope as the head of the Christian Church
    Baptists do not recognize each other at the liquor store

    Those of you who haven't seen a B12 Tourney game yet are in for a real treat when you see the court they're playing on.

    The current team will have to "flip a switch" because they haven't looked even competent at times, much less dominating. After the ISU loss, they seemed to decline. They struggle to make shots consistently, defense is on and off, long scoring droughts, loss of focus, and they really fade under pressure. These are not elements that contribute to a long tournament run. They have won a lot of games, but often they haven't looked dominant in doing so. The team seems to lack a "fiery" leader who holds others accountable. Sampson rants and raves on the sidelines (I often worry about his health), but his outbursts seem to have little effect. If you feel this assessment is unfair, please feel free to correct me.

    My personal keys to great success (no particular order):

    Uzan has to hit shots (this goes for all the guards)
    Tugler has to stay out of foul trouble (this goes for all the bigs)
    Cenac has to be more of a force inside
    Bench guys have to show up

    The Coogs look hesitant, can't seem to get into a flow. I would like to see them "force" the ball inside.

    Refs trying to help Dybantsa break Adebayo’s free throw attempts record. :confused:

    Just turned on the game. That court is awful. Being different isn’t always good.

    Need better defense than this. Tourney ball demands it.

    That and "intensity." Coogs seem lackadaisical, unfocused, and hesitant. I would like to see more hustle and aggressiveness. Tournament play is known for intensity. The Coogs are "walking in the park."
