Does the Big 12 not have their championship today just because of BYU?

No. It was that way previous to BYU joining.

I think finishing on Saturday is a nice advantage. Didn’t acc finish yesterday

Yes but they used to end on Sunday, don’t know what changed.

If I recall correctly, BIG12, ACC, and Big East always finished on Saturday.

I don’t care who we draw…our coaching is good enough that I am not as concerned

I'd change it to mildly annoyed with a 6 and mad with a 7. I'd be surprised if we're not a 5.

I think being a 6 seed COULD be better than a 5 seed
