I get that the tournament is all that matters but what a kick in the nuts.

I guess following sports isn't for you. Why don't you start on the great American novel with your newfound free time?

You don't want to ever take Kansas down? 2nd place is always good enough? Loser mentality that is pervasive in our fan base. Pretty pathetic.

****ing season isn't even over yet. ****ing pants-pissing "fans" we have. We're in a bad stretch and you start chicken-littling. Sickening.

Not true and I suggest you nut up.

Signed,
Chicago Cubs fan. They proved in 2016 that ANYTHING is possible. You just hope you're still alive to see it happen.

Lest we forget the FBI correction forthcoming. KU will finally have to pay for cheating to get their status all these years. They'll have to play on the same court as the rest of the league for once.

Yeah, how absurd. Just because we haven't won one in going on 71 straight seasons shouldn't make anyone feel just a tad bit pessimistic.

Demeaning reading because you want to demean a person has got to be one of the stupidest things I've ever read on the internet.

Only been a B12 since 1996 and we've only been truly competitive for 11 years but do go on. Wouldn't want to brighten your cloudy day.

Even our best teams have never finished closer than 2 games behind Kansas. Even our Elite Eight teams weren't close to winning it.

Maybe it will eventually happen but we rarely even finish in 3rd place.

OK, so if you believe we will never ever ever win the B12, why do you stick around? I think that's a fair question. If you can't see what's building here this season, and next year has the potential to be even better, I don't know what to tell you. This loss sucks immensely but we're 25-3 and a 1 seed. Brush it off and move on to Monday.

I'll be at the game Monday (driving up from Houston) cheering louder than you.

This game has potentially hurt our #1 seed. Can't lose another one.

Sorry for expressing severe disappointment. This year was a great opportunity to take the Big 12 title. Best we have had since we entered the league. And we couldn't pull it off.

Hope we make the Final Four. But I need to stop hoping to win the Big 12. Probably not going to happen.

Cool. Glad you'll be there Monday. I only hope you're cheering for us to win. If I lived in closer proximity like you, I'd be there too. I was there for WVU so don't feel you have to puff up your fandom for me.

I'd love to end the season in any Baylor sport on an uptick rather then sliding down. I still have hopes this is the year in basketball. The women never disappoint.

It was so much fun in football only two have two crushing end-of-season defeats, sort of like the Fiesta and Cotton Bowls.

The Duke loss is as close as we've gotten to the ring. Here is hoping the guys learned today the season is a long way from over.

UT is slowly improving...four straight wins by double digits. Hope to hell they don't get the hot hand in the Big 12 Tourney.

We haven't been in the Big 12 for 71 years and have only relatively recently started investing in men's basketball the way you need to compete an elite level. If Texas Tech could win a title last year, there's no reason we couldn't at some point.

We've just unfortunately have had our best season in a year where two conference losses may disqualify you from title contention. That's not the norm in this league.

Kansas is on pace for its best conference record since the Big 12 went to a double round robin format. It may take a 17-1 record to claim an outright title this year. This was only a great opportunity because we're really damn good this year.

I agree on that. But this was the only season we were in real contention for an outright title with 5 games to go in the season.

Not holding my breath. NCAA has let many blue bloods of the hook. IMO, NCAA knows who butters their bread, and the butter is called "Blue Blood." My question is, will the investigation be completed by 2030?

Could BU possibly have peaked too early and the home KS loss initiated the end of it?

I never cared a lick about a national ranking. Number 1 was cute, but it means nothing in terms of achievement. What I root for most every year is a damn conference title. The rest is all gravy.

Great run this season, but they blew it. Maybe they get hot again and luck out in the tournament, but it's not the same as winning the season title by earning it all season long.

The NCAAs are another thing, starting from scratch. I hope they get the mojo going again.

We are also the only team that has been in the conference since its inception to not win one.

Win the remaining games and get to the Big 12 Tourney Final and #1 seed should hold. Otherwise, #2 or #3 seed around the corner. Would have rather lost to TT instead of TCU. Our season has been one for the BU record book and we still can add a few more paragraphs before seasons end.

The best chance Drew has ever had to win the regular season Big 12 just went down the drain. Ain't happening this year. But, might be an elite eight team. This is Drew's best team. Whether or not they'll be successful in the Tournament is any body's guess.

End of the regular season. Either outright title or shared.

New poster here (read the boards for a long time) why as fans are we not allowed to be critical of them when they play that poorly? I've never understood posters who get so offended when fans call out the effort. Today was a garbage effort by the coaches and players call it how it is. First game this year I've felt that way. But this team even at 25-3 has many glaring holes and teams are seeing them the second time around. Again this team has been amazing this year. But today they lost a 1 seed and a big 12 title because of an atrocious effort

Yes they did . Can they get it back yes. The hometown is kicking in if you don't think this hurts! The bears will be lucky to go 1-1 this week the way they're playing

No we didn't. At absolute worst, we're the third overall 1 seed. We're so far ahead of SDSU and Dayton, we can absorb another loss too as long as it's not to KSU or someone in the first round.
