If you got to pick the Big 12 Tournament Opponent - Would it be WVU?

OU dominated them twice.

Who would you pick to play in the opening round?

Isn't TCU and WVa the only teams we beat twice? I would say TCU if it were a choice of any of the 10 teams. WVa's size and rebounding are always a problem.

With the rest, even those with which we split, seems like one of those games, other than Texas or Tech, was a blowout.

Yes, they seemed to have recovered their mojo in that game. Of course, it was in Morgantown, which always helps. For example, they shot twice as much free throws as Baylor did -- 34-17 -- which, given the style of ball WVU plays, suggests home cooking to me (I only saw a few minutes of the game, so I could be all wrong).

Always hard to beat a good team 3 times. wvu poses some matchup problems for us. It’s gonna be a tough game.

I think it’s hard to say who I would prefer to play when I don’t know which OU team will show up. If bad OU shows up, it doesn’t matter. If TCU Reaves shows up with the OU team that won at wvu, then I’ll be very happy, regardless of who we play.

It may sound odd, but I wanted Texas again. I thought we gave that game away even though we had a borderline-historically bad shooting night from 3.

Right now, I think we match up best with ISU (decent offense, but horrid defense). WV seems to be good matchup for us as well because we seem to know how to defend them (pack it in) and they can't shoot a lick from outside.

I wanted texas too. Would have been great to maybe send their asses to the nit. Also think we would have a better chance against them than wvu.

Good point...

I didn’t see game.

If we can hit decently from deep we should be good...
