“The Big Ten was bad this year. No way around the truth.”
– Bracketography’s David Mihm on Selection Sunday.
Lost in all the Selection Sunday madness was any discussion of the Big Ten. And, because of the questionable season the entire conference put together, maybe the lack of discussion […]
Red Rover champions, these officials must be. Under the guise of a basketball game, Tim Higgins, Reggie Greenwood, and Pat Driscoll craftily chose and removed the most irreplaceable player from each team. Foul trouble forced both teams to bench crucial starters. In the children’s game of Red Rover, once your best player is […]
Where are the best of the best from?
With All-Conference Teams mostly announced in the last two days, we at Bracketography thought we’d take a little different approach to our awards: the point of this article is to take a look at the best five from each state in the nation.
Talented players tend to come […]

With a win on Wednesday, Oklahoma and Texas A&M went from bubble teams sitting on the outside to real Tournament contenders. Wednesday’s victories marked a possible turning point for both schools.
After dealing with injuries (Oklahoma) and moments of sheer stupidity (A&M losing consecutive home games to Oklahoma State and Nebraska), both schools were able […]
Player of the Year: Adam Emmenecker, Drake.
The spunky guard floats around the floor not with boundless athleticism, but with the clearest understanding of prudent play.
Rarely shooting more than eight times a game, Emmenecker led the conference in assists (6.7 per game). During conference play he dished out over 30 more than anyone else in […]
The system is the same. Thankfully, the coach is the same. There was a frightful window in which Dana Altman was gone, but he chose to return.

Way back in […]

What a week this should be for the Big 12 Conference. It seems just like yesterday we were talking about the conference getting six bids into the tournament, and now with the recent play of a few teams (namely Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas A&M), it could be looking at only five tickets.
Let’s take a […]

With the Big 12 season winding down, it’s time to once again take another look at where all six major contenders stand in terms of chances of getting into the Big Dance.
Week 8 should give us a lot to talk about with the conference tournament quickly approaching, so this week’s edition of the “Confidential” […]

Ah, the Big 12 Conference; it’s good to see you’re back in rare form again!
Just when you think you have the Big 12 all figured out this year, the conference turns around throws a Dice-K gyroball your direction.
The “consistent” play from Kansas? Gone.
Baylor’s Cinderella run? It’s hanging on like one of those […]
In this most recent off-season, one coach, Mark Turgeon, left for the money and recruiting benefits of the Big 12. His departure, coupled with the graduation of countless valuable seniors, leaves the MVC fighting for that elusive consistency that power conferences tend to have. Look at the list of names of the departed, […]
