Tech should be ahead of Arizona due to them beating them

15:40 Arizona is not playing well at all lol they're playing with 4 new starters, star center had a season ending injury in the 2nd game of the season. By the metrics and player rating and talent, Arizona is ahead of Iowa St. 4 NBA prospects to zero

what would get you more subs is adding the school logos on the screen when you talk about them, maybe their kenpom and torvik metrics

I appreciate your analysis and how you have backed it up with concrete examples. I'm new to the Big12 this year. Still miss the PAC 12, but here we are. Live in the real world, which is where your analysis is rooted. Good job, Big B!

Ohhh the media and talking heads was always saying HOUSTON plays in the AAC. What now HOUSTON came in last yr and won the Big 12. HOUSTON wins with culture and defense not with style points..... Go Coogs💪🏿👊🏿

I am a BYU fan, and I agree that Baylor is better than BYU. The reason being they played BYU to a stamate, and they are missing a couple of good players due to injury. Byu will continue to improve due to a new coach and a couple of freshmen players. It's the same thing with Baylor. The other teams I don't know about. Maybe you can fill me in.

Best Big 12 transfer this season? Milos Uzan!

Power rankings are spot on at least top 5 right now... KU not a contender for the Big 12 Championship... I think it is down to Houston and Iowa State at this point, unless there is an injury or breakdown issue then Tech and Zona could compete. I don't agree there were a lack of fouls of the KU /UCF end of game, it was tight but I think the refs made all the right calls - but one could have said USF deserved to win that game if they also are arguing KU deserved to win against Houston.

Texas Tech beat Arizona by 16 and we are behind them….. if Caleb love doesn’t hit that lucky shot it’s done. I think proper ladder order is Houston, Iowa State, Tech, then Zona. Zona isn’t even ranked

Arizona is playing their best basketball this SEASON. (And they are getting better week to week)

Arizona hurt the Big12 in basketball this year by not winning any of their premier non conference games. Arizona doesn't usually do that so hopefully it won't happen again next year.

We need fitz back for power rankings!

AZ fan here. Man what a game. ISU is a legit #1 or 2 seed, and let me tell you all AZ fans are so grateful to be in in the B12 where the competition, the fan bases AND THE REFS are such a step up from the PAC

What a great set of games this past week!

I like the power rankings this week on point 👉🏾

Nice to see the Cougs on the up-and-up

86-75 not 84

The pac 12 teams boosted the big 12

Bro didn’t even watch the game…

It's Houston and then everyone else in the Big 12

Now people think first Houston is the Big 12 basketball

The Ariz/ISU game absolutely had the extreme dynamics and energy of a march madness environment. Amazing game!

I disagree on the KU take - they are talented, but they are inconsistent, and the inconsistency is primarily due to a lack of effort and energy … usually it comes down to a lack of effort to put two quality halves together .... found this in the Missouri Game, and Houston Game, and KSU game, in particular. The only one they had it both if for sure the season was the first game against USF. Are they the best? No you need talent and effort to be the best win a lot of games, and also for the team to click to a certain extent. Those are the best teams (Houston, ISU). KU has one of those 3 right now (talent). The teams at the top of the conference have a combination of all 3.

Ur wrong about the Caleb love shot go back and watch it… it didn’t hit a backboard I was there in person it hit the back iron inside the rim then went in it did not hit the back board… other than that never ever count a Tommy Lloyd’s team out… remember its not how u start it’s how I finish and Tommy has his team playing at a top ten level… 🐻⬇️

2019 2021 2022 National championship games had Texas Tech, Baylor, and Kansas. And the last two years UCONN and Purdue and San Diego State. The SEC is good this year but I don’t want to hear that they rule college basketball. First year the Big 12 hasn’t been in full control. SEC hasn’t made a National Championship game since 2014. So your research idiot.

Big 12 is a truck stop league! Arizona might finish in the top tier.big 12 is always overrated. They play basketball like football.

I never thought on Saturday that the K-State men would win and the K-State women would lose.

I LOVED Walton. He was one of a kind.

West Virginia’s team has been down with the flu for the last 2 weeks

Bidunga is huge for KU... I don't think starting is as important as getting more minutes (at least 25 I think are warranted moving forward every game). If KJ comes back he may start but I think Self would be foolish to not give more of KJ's (and Hunters?) minutes to Flory. Unsure how a Flory/KJ looks works over multiple games and as a consistent lineup- but looked good and worked in the close out against Duke.... and Flory showed in the Houston game he can score. That has always been the argument against reducing Hunter's time ... who is gonna score? Well - Flory. Houston doubled Hunter the 2nd half, and Flory got those points. I could see the same system working with Adams/Bidunga.

There were no close games except KU vs Houston. This is not like last year at all, with most games decided by a few games. There's a clear pecking order. Houston best, ISU clear second, Arizona 3rd, a group of middle teams which can beat all but the top 3, and 4 really sad teams.

The athlete is the one who decides whether his future is ruined or not. Does he work/learn/practice/play hard and be the guy everyone wants to bring on? Does he not do those things and become someone teams don’t want? This is his decision.

Love Houston flying under everyone’s radar after the November losses instead of being ranked #1 at this point like the last 2 years. Sampson’s teams always get better, especially with the new point guard figuring it out and this may be the best most connected defense in 5 years. Next 3 games will tell the story. Always tough to win at AFH against the ghosts and the refs tho.

Great show sir

Gotta disagree with you Big B that Houston "has not been tested." Would you say going down to the wire against the current No. 1 and No. 4 teams in the nation equals a little bit of a test? Yes, Houston lost both of those games, but let's look a little closer: In the Auburn game, second game of the season played in Houston but not on UH's home court, Houston's starting center, JaVier Francis, coming back a little too early from an injury, only played the first 9 minutes, then he was out for the rest of the game. Also in the first half, Houston's leading scorer, LJ Cryer, got two (ticky-tack) fouls early and sat out the rest of the half. In the second half, Houston's other two bigs were also battling foul trouble, both with four fouls and having to play a little softer down the critical stretch. At that stage in the season, UH was still working in newcomer point-guard Milos Uzan, who also got in foul trouble and sat out much of the second half. Still, with all this diversity - and with Auburn's freshman guard Pettiford shooting lights-out, Houston LED the game with two minutes to go. Down by one with 49 seconds to play, Milos fouled out of the game, and the last four points by Auburn, to win by five, were free-throws. The Alabama game was played in the Players Era tourney in Las Vegas. This game was even closer. In fact, if Houston had made one more free-throw with 39 seconds to go, or LJ had made a close-in two with 2 seconds to go in regulation and the game tied, it is doubtful Alabama would have been able to send the game into overtime, where the Crimson Tide won the game. So Houston is just a scant few plays away from having wins over two of the Top Four teams in the nation currently. The Cougars have been tested alright, and they are much better now than they were early in the season when those games took place.

UH at KU should be a really good game. As for Utah, I was going to roast you because I don't think Utah is a very good team at all but you are right it looks like after this Baylor game that there are some very winnable games coming and they could put together a decent record. But every conference loss so far for Utah has been by at least 23 points and they almost got doubled up by Houston. They are bums. I agree big game for both ASU and ISU, Cyclones need to make a couple statements in that game. Hopefully Lipsey can keep playing, he injured his thumb against WVU and but he hasn't missed any time yet.

I need the big 12 discussion. Thank you

So once we get the “Employee “ status for the players for pay to play, will that destroy the portal? Also when they sign a contract can they be traded?

I enjoy the Big XII Insiders, alao many other Big XII and Kansas State podcasts. Keep Up the Good work, Brien "BiG B" Hanley!, with the true reports of the BIG XII Conference; Along with the several other BIG XII, and K-State podcasts... I enjoy them All. P.S. Also a Huge Thank You goes out to our Commissioner of the BIG XII Conference, Brett Yormark... He doesn't put up with the sec and big 10, and their constant B.S.!

To early to tell, but even though we won I think TT is a team built for the long haul. We still have a tough Sat., Mon. road trip in Arizona schools, & road trip to Houston. IMOA this will determine the conference.

WVU fans point out that most of their players are suffering from the flu bug. I think the team showed signs of a hangover. I also give credit to Coach Hurley for putting together a good game plan to neutralize Javon Smalls and his team executed that plan very well. Let's see how they rebound in Manhattan on Saturday and then Houston at home.

Even better. No money lost and none gained. Move on to the next one. This should never have been an issue. There are more players out there that would love to play for Wisconsin. Go get one.

Win at home….sneak by a couple on the road ….get in the top 4… don’t get injured….and you have a good chance of getting in the Elite 8! The rest is just a crap shoot….they are all great teams…..then defense and free throws and depth take over!…Lastly, a little LUCK!

Thanks Big B.

This is not the NCAA’s fault. They get sued at every turn. It costs money to fight a lawsuit

What are you talking about Houston have been tested

Nine out of ten schools are cheating and the other one is in last place. Jerry Tarkanian

Yes tampering happens but to quote A Few Good Men “It doesn’t matter what I think, it matters what I can prove.” No school will never prove it on another because both have broken so many rules that neither want to go to discovery.

NCAA can’t enforce common sense NIL rules because those rules needs be collectively bargained. Also the members voted to have an honor system, don’t have to participate in investigations and enforcement arm can’t subpoena anything. They literally have to have the money fall out of the envelope. That is why the rule book is so big and no it can’t be smaller because they can’t enforce those. They can see the candy, there is proof. You are being a tool for the schools by constantly saying The NCAA. The next governing body will have the same problem if the members decide to not allow enforcement

This should not be a problem. He has a contract but he wants out. He breaches the contract so it’s null and void. Move on, simple. The consequences for him is he looses all his money.
