Proud to split the title with our Kansas brethren.

Pretty nice to be kings in both sports.

Congrats, guys. Unexpected but well-earned in both sports.

If anyone is going to win the Big 12, it might as well be the local teams.

I AM PUMPED UP FOR THE TOURNEY!

I'll hook you up with a kstate shirt ATKC!

I'll take it! I'll could also use some K-State car magnets. Once again, all Big 12 teams will be represented on my car this year.

I'm also looking for car magnets for any other Big 12 team (hint, hint KU fans).

Here's a photo from 2 years ago (all 3 local teams have car flags):

(Last year, the sign said, "Welcome Big 12 Fans...and SEC fans." Not sure what to put this year.)

If KU gets a one seed, and I suspect that's not that likely, they'd be the weakest of the one seeds

I think Gonzaga's weaker.

Thank you, waiter, I'll have the crow, please.

Ha. We aren't serving crow until it's in season - should be available after the first week of the tourney.

KU probably won't be a 1 seed after yestarday and Gonzaga almost surely will but lets see who survives the first week.

I'm convinced that this is the year a #1 loses to a #16, so that drubbing in Baylor was fine with me. The conference title streak is intact and it (hopefully) keeps an erratic KU team off the #1 line. Yes, I'm rationalizing.

Gonzaga should probably be crowned co-champs too, as they went 5-0 agains the Big 12, with wins against four of the top six schools!

[chaglang]

Don't forget that Mizzou was undefeated in the Big 12.

I have a feeling there might not be enough to go around then.

Marcus Smart, OSU, named Big 12 player of the year

Jeff Withey, KU, named defensive player of the year

Bruce Weber, KSU named coach of the year

What a terrible hire by John Currie.

It is pretty amazing what KSU was able to accomplish in tying for the championship considering that they were fourth in the Kenpom.com rankings. They were also the 29th luckiest team in the nation compared to OSU's 243rd and ISU's 277th (KU was 124th). Perhaps they just have something going for them this year. It will be interesting to follow these numbers into the big dance. In the meantime, it should be quite an entertaining last three days of Big 12 play.

How is luckiest team decided?

By lottery.
