First and 16 - A Big 12 Podcast

Power Conference Records in the NCAA Tourney through day 1 SEC: 4-1 Big 12: 2-1 Big 10 - 4-2 ACC - 1-1

BYU fans, now that the Cougars are out of March Madness, who are you cheering for?

Flynn Clayman: "High Point and Miami (Ohio) are 2-0 in Quad 1 games. We couldn't get games. They couldn't get games. Akron couldn't get games. UNCW couldn't get games. Belmont couldn't get games. We won 22 of our 23 last games, and we didn't move up one spot in the metrics..."

Biggest what-if season for BYU since the Jimmer year. Tough way to end it.

Quick evaluation of each team. I'll go more in-depth on this on tomorrow's show. Arizona - Amazing draw. Yes, Purdue won the Big 10, but didn't play as well on the back half of the schedule. Arkansas probably the toughest potential opponent. Iowa State - Should make the Elite 8 no problem. Michigan is an interesting potential matchup Houston - Don't love this draw. St. Mary's could turn into a defensive slugfest. Potential Elite Eight matchup with Florida also not great given play styles. Kansas - Hate this draw. St John's is a tough draw, and if they survive that they get Duke. Survive that, and UConn may be waiting. This whole side of the bracket is full of elite coaches/programs. Texas Tech - Really like the potential Alabama matchup. Very similar styles, but TTU is more physical. Game against Michigan would be lopsided, although I'm not sure which way. BYU - Best possible path given their seed. NC State and Texas both limped to the finish line. Gonzaga will be tough, but BYU has better athletes. Similar to Arizona, I like the Purdue matchup. Not saying BYU will or should be favored in any of these, but if forced to play a 3 and a 2, these are the two you want. TCU - Ohio State is a great opponent that I believe TCU should beat. The reward? Duke, in South Carolina. Tough to see them advancing. UCF - Tough draw. No matter how you look at it, it's tough to see UCF making a run. UCLA finished the season very strong, and IF they survive that, they get UConn, perhaps the best coached March Madness team out there.

From now until the end of the Tourney, we are all Big 12 fans! Come together and support our conference!

Who do you got in your final Four?

March Madness Tier Lists. The Grouping of pretenders and contenders. Where did I go wrong?

@jaromjordan Bad for BYU. NCAA Tourney is known for teams starting off slow (nerves). The winner of NC State vs Texas likely won’t have that since they will have already played a game. Throw that on top of BYU being a slow start team as it is, and it could get ugly early.

What's your reaction to BYU's 6 seed vs 11 NC State/Texas and 3 Gonzaga/14 Kennesaw State in the second round in Portland?

Not taking anything away from Arkansas and their SEC Championship, but their path to a Championship was insanely simple. Not their fault, they beat who was in front of them, which is more than anyone else can say. Just shows why March Madness is the greatest tourney out there. Here was Arkansas' path: - 11 Seed Oklahoma (after OU knocked off No. 6 Texas A&M) - 15 Seed Ole Miss (After Ole Miss took down No. 7 Georgia and No. 2 Alabama) - 4 Seed Vanderbilt (after Vanderbilt beat No. 1 Florida)

Time to set the table for madness.

Forget Miami OH vs Auburn for a spot. This is the team we need to talk about 😂

It's back!

@GottliebShow How about start your conference tournament so that it finishes the same time as everyone else? Big 12 has 16 teams, they were able to finish yesterday.

If your team plays today, you shouldn’t play in the NCAA tournament until Friday.
