Big 12 Hoops: FanPosts

Pathetic

2010-03-14T00:53:29Z

Being the best league in the nation, I would hope that the Big 12 network/ ESPN would soon realize how terrible their broadcasting is and please take Bob Knight and Brent Musberger off the air. Their commentating is the absolute worst thing I have every listened to and I know many fans would be pleased to never hear them commentate a big 12 game again. Fans deserve to hear a better game than this and I think this is truly a disgrace to the Big 12.

Yours truly,

Big 12’s hoops strength evident at Coors Events Center

2010-03-01T15:30:47Z

How strong is Big 12 basketball on both the men’s and women’s sides?

That couldn’t have been more obvious after Saturday’s double-header in the Coors Events Center.

Consider this:

The men’s game featured two teams, Colorado and Iowa State, that were tied for 10th in the league standings. Nothing to get too excited about, right?

Well, as many as four future NBA players might have been on the court: guards Alec Burks and Cory Higgins for CU and forwards Craig Brackins and Marquis Gilstrap for Iowa State.

In the women’s contest, Texas A&M brought a No. 12 ranking in The Associated Press poll – despite entering the game with a Big 12 record of just one game over .500 (7-6).

Amazing.
