Big 12 Tournament "Predictions Sure To Backfire"

Promoted to top with Consensus Picks

Throughout the season we have been picking all the Big 12 conference games -- some better than others -- but it all built up to this. Once the Big 12 Tournament starts, it's anyone's game.

For this week we'll take what you guys all think, so enter your picks in the comments and we'll fill in the Guest Picker with the consensus of the commenters. Check back before the first tip on Wednesday to see the Guest Commenter consensus pick

Good luck, and we all know I need it.

Interesting that Matt has Mizzou in the championship game

Hopefully Mike Anderson is right about still having a run left in this team.

I hate making chalky picks.

And I think Mizzou in Kansas City has a strong shot to knock off Texas.

They played well in their only other game in KC

a 1 pt win* against G-Town.

  • OK they lost, but they should have won.

Mizzou?!

Everyone is so quick to write A&M off against a Missouri team that couldn’t beat a high school girls team on the road this year. I wouldn’t be so quick to write off the Aggies.

by jwolfaggie on Mar 7, 2011 9:15 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Well

probably some truth to your main argument there (not talking about the high school girls comment). My reasoning for picking Missouri is the game (if Mizzou makes it to play A&M ofcourse) will be on a “neutral” site in Kansas City not on the road and the crowd will be highly partisan towards Missouri. I honestly think Mark Turgeon deserves some coach of the year chatter with what he has done this season but I think Missouri has better athletes than A&M and the Aggies have been beatable in alot of games this season. Plus I think the Tigers will have a little more to play for with their recent struggles coming into the Big 12 tournament they are going to want to make a statement.

Partisan Crowds?

I’m not sure why everyone thinks a KC crowd is so partisan towards Mizzou. There are just as many ku and kst fans there who hate mizzou to root against them. Not that any of that stuff matters. As the great book, Scorecasting, says, home court advantage is just about refs making more favorable calls for the home team. Some schmoe eating Gates in a Mizzou jersey in Section 102 cheering for the Tigers won’t make any difference.

by Miguel Mejia on Mar 8, 2011 12:19 PM CST up reply actions  

I wish I was that Schmoe

I love Gates.

I'd take Mizzou and the Over

in that HS girls game on the road. HS boys, now that’s another story.

Picks...

Round 1: NU, CU, OU, Tech
Round 2: KU, CU, Texas, A&M
Round 3: KU, Texas
Round 4: KU

I picked Tech just because of my previous comment (Missouri has too much on the line to lose to Tech.) I am also hoping CU pulls the upset to bring some excitement to the Denver area. Also, as much as I hate Texas, if they can straighten the ship they could breeze through this tournament.

by jwolfaggie on Mar 8, 2011 10:06 PM CST via mobile reply actions  

Round 1: NU, CU, Bay, Miz
Round 2: KU, KSU, UT, Miz
Round 3: KU, UT
Round 4: UT
