I've been following KSU because my wife went there, but I don't live and die with Wildcat basketball. I enjoy watching them play. They don't rip your spleen out every game like Mizzou does.

BTW: The last time I saw Bill Self in person like five years ago, I told him to shove a burrito into his big yap and that winning 8 on 5 was no big trick. He just smiled and shrugged. He knows he's a made man.

I personally think the Fat Man Mangino nailed it. Dollar signs. That's all it is. With the NCAAs coming up, the Big 12 wants a high seed, prime time TV draw that will hang around until at least the Elite 8, and the easier road they can get for KU, the better the TV revenue for the whole stink on ice lot.

Nobody gives a shit if ISU makes the tourney or not, nobody gives a shit where KSU is seeded. The Big 12 wants KU as a high seed, same as they want Oklahoma in a bowl game every year. Dollar signs.

And as far as the refs. They'll say "oops, my bad, sorry Hoiberg. But your name is not Bill Self." No way they hand ISU a game on a charge. One thing I will say, EJ still had to hit the free throws to put the game in OT, so I'll give him that.

Here's waiting for the next March Farouhkmanesh!



Just my opinion after watching Big 12 Basketball for 45 years.

For a fan base who doesn't have a dog in this fight and supposedly doesn't care, you guys sure have a ton of posts in this thread.
