Will the Big 12 exceed expectations?

[DFWHoopster]

Vegas is usually truth serum for these discussions. Odds to get to the Final 4:

Texas 18-1
Missouri 30-1
Kansas 100% chance (only kidding 2-1)
OSU 28-1
Baylor 6-1
A&M 18-1
Kansas State 3-1

Lunardi has picked Baylor to the final 4:

The Bears are the hottest (and probably best) team in the historically weak South Region. I like them all the way to the Final Four in Indianapolis.

Look, I'm not saying they're a bad team. In fact, since Penn went out, they've only lost to tournament teams (although they lost to Texas Tech when Penn attempted to play through the injury). But, I'm just saying they could easily lose to GA Tech.

I don't know who you're arguing with... I think everyone realizes that.

The 7/10 games are always toss-ups.

I said this in another thread. You couldn't ask for a better draw in New Orleans- in front of lots of Tweety and Lace supporters and then Houston where they would probably have to go through two East Coast teams in Villanova and Duke.

The table is set. Time to eat.

That being said, I would worry greatly about Notre Dame. They found something special at the end of the season. If the Bears get out of NO, I like their chances to beat a slumping Villanova team that doesn't have much size. And a Duke team that has in recent years struggled against big, athletic teams.

That's funny, I'm actually going to be in New Orleans this weekend, albeit not to watch the basketball. We had planned a 4 day vacation down there and I had no idea there was even a regional there until yesterday. I guess I'll run into some Baylor fans down there. lol

Baylor won't make the FF. Drew isn't a good enough game day coach to get them there.

Baylor has the talent and more. I wanna see them actually get in front of someone on D before Im convinced they ll make the Final 4 though.

I dont like K State and dont think they make it past the round of 16.
