Maybe should have tweeted that Monday night

I guess Houston can say they have won 100% of the conference titles since they have been in conference, and have averaged 15 conference wins a year more than any other Big 12 school.

Didn't take long to try to elevate ourselves ahead Kansas, who can say the only Big 12 school to win 11 plus games 15 of the past 16 years and win 6x the next closest school in conference championships the past 15 years

KU has had one bad year since about 1988.

Why do we do this type of " self congratulation"?

I don't like it either. We have a really good program. Let its accomplishments speak for themselves. Touting regular season success while making it out of the first weekend once since 2017 and twice since 2014 makes it look like we're trying too hard IMO. Granted that one year since 2017 was a title, which overshadows any tournament disappointments around it. But programs that are successful in March don't have to try to remind or convince others how good they are with arbitrary, often manipulated stats.

Do you think anyone outside of Baylor is particularly impressed by this stat? Those who are paying attention already know how good Baylor has been the last five-plus years, and those who aren't don't care how many straight seasons a team has won 11 conference games. What a silly, arbitrary, manipulated, nonsense stat.

If you want to impress casuals (and everyone else who follows college basketball), win in March. Regular season accomplishments -- particularly those without a trophy attached -- are meaningless compared to tournament success.

Part of marketing for organizations is to appeal to their own base. It's makes your alumni feel good. It's not for people who are filling out multiple March Madness brackets but is probably for their wives who happen to be people too.

This stat is not like UT bragging about their highest team GPA ever at 2.9. It has some kind of weight to it even if is not massive. Marketing's job is to highlight whatever positive there is. Not everything has to be a championship.

It would be weird to be dead silent until the end of March Madness.

No need to be dead silent. There's plenty to talk about without manufacturing stuff like this. We've made 12 of the last 16 played tournaments and had a top-three seed in seven of those. Talk about that. We've won a national championship and two Big 12 titles. Talk about those. Those are actual accomplishments. Choosing a convenient number of conference wins over a relatively small statistical sample and pretending that's a big deal is silly.

It's what every program does. If we didn't do it someone would be complaining.
