***? Big 12 Basketball Tournament Thread***

[Aaron Carrara]

The First Round of the Phillips 66 Big 12 Tournament kicks off today at the Sprint Center in Kansas City.  Texas will open up play on Thursday at 11:30 am against Texas Tech.

Depending on your comfort level, Texas likely needs a win tomorrow to be assured a spot in the field of 68. ESPN's Joe Lunardi currently has the Longhorns as a "play-in" team (11 seed) facing NC State.

Discuss all games except the Texas games here (as always we will have a dedicated game thread for the 'Horns).

Tournament Bracket is below.

Will we be one and done? Its tough to beat a good team twice, especially when the 2nd game is so close to the first game.

If we lose, do we go NIT'ing? Will Shaka get fired?

So, what does CDC do about Shaka?

I think he will be back due to the $$$ owed him if he gets fired.

I think the big money guys are losing a heck of a lot of money in oil and won't want to fork over the $$$ owed to let Shaka walk and bring in a solid coach.

This. People are quickly losing wealth. Plus Shaka made a deal with Patter......I mean the Devil.
