Big 12 is going to be a blood bath - -stats point it out
-
Ran across this article this morning really pretty good. From the NCAA .Com written by Mike Lopresti. This is what he had to say: He says this Season the Big 12 is a powerhouse , one that will never be seen again in College Basketball. He goes on to say that we have a true one & done - - the Big 12 Conference - -at least THIS Big 12 Conference. Behold the one , the only , the here today , gone tomorrow Big 12
Lopresti says , 6 of the top 19 ranked teams are members of the Big 12 with KU (2 )- -Hous ( 4 )- -& Bay ( 6 0 at the top. - - - - - 6 of the top 15 current NCAA Net Rankings carry the Big 12 label with BYU , Okla , and Iowa St towards the top.
Only 7 unbeaten teams – -- 3 call the Big 12 home - -Houston - - -Baylor - - & -Oklahoma - -( 28-0 ). Texas is ranked 17th Nationally but has only the 10th best record in the Big 12. The Big 12 has played 127 games this season , they have won – -102/25 --for a 80.3 winning %.
Lopresti says , Name a team , any team and there is something extraordinary or at least unusual to say.
Houston : - -# 1 in the Nation in scoring defense , and turnover margin . Has held 8-10 opponents to 55 points or under & in – 20 halves of play have allowed no more then 30 points - 4 times. - -Houston has outscored teams 234-80 in points off turnovers, Houston has brought this suffocating way to the Big 12.
Kansas : - KU leads the Nation with a 22.1 in assists pe game , which contributes to 74 % of the Field goals. - -KU is 2nd best in D- 1 shooting at 52.7 % , KU has won 58 games in a row when out rebounding their opponent. McCullar is the only men’s player in America with two triple doubles.
Baylor : Is a close 2nd in the Nation in 3 point field goal % outscoring opponents by 84 points behind the arc. Baylor is 27-11 in the past 4 seasons against ranked teams including 16-5 away from home. Baylor is in the top 10 for the 5th straight Season Duke & KU are the only other Schools who can say that.
BYU : -( this is crazy ) - -BYU was predicted to finish 13th in the Conference but yet currently # 3 in the Net rankings – 2nd in the Nation in average scoring margin and three pointers and 3rd in rebounding margin. BYU is 2nd in the Nation with 40 points a night coming off the Bench. Teams leading scorer hasn’t started a game Jaxson Robinson ( 16.9 ) the BYU starting guards- - Spencer Johnson & Trevin Knell are 26 & 25 years old, their back court is older then the Orlando Magic & Oklahoma City Thunder.
Oklahoma : - they were predicted for 12th in the pre season but haven’t lost yet , Oklahoma is 13-2 against the SEC since 2018-19 Season, guess where they are going next year ?
Iowa St: -They are 3rd in the Nation in both steals & turnovers forced. Their top player grew up 2 miles from Hilton - -averaging 15 ppg - -6.3 rpg - -& 6.1 assts
Kansas State : - 8-2 record with 4 wins coming in over time. you better get them in the first 40 minutes - - Tang is 9-0 in overtime and he is 25 -12 in regulation.
To finalize - -Houston since 2017 owns the 2nd highest winning % only behind Gonzaga. - - How high is the rankings going to be & how loud will it be when Houston comes to the phog for the 1st time in 40 years - -then when KU goes to Houston for the 1st time since 1983.
Baylor with the luck of the Schedule , gets a break – No Houston - - Iowa St - -or Oklahoma on the road. - How will the Big 12 farmlands do on their BYU swings through the Mountains in Provo ? My answer (Jayballer 67 ) to that - -I think we will handle the Mountains fine as we have played in Boulder many times - -we will be fine.
It’s going to be crazy - an absolute blood bath, - -just saying with Arizona coming in next year on top of this - -then and I’m saying if- -if it come to reality we would end up adding Gonzaga - -Holy Crap
