With a new episode, The Big 12 Insiders—hosted by former Big 12 offensive lineman Brien Hanley—return.
A brand-new program that covers all things pertaining to and impacting the 16-school Big 12 Conference is called Big 12 Insiders. Brien “Big B” Hanley, a former football player at Kansas State, is the host. Mike Casazza, the publisher of the West Virginia website on the 247Sports Network, joins Big B today to talk about the Mountaineers’ future in the growing Big 12.
The GoPowercat YouTube channel hosts The Big 12 Insiders every Tuesday through Friday at 1 p.m. (Central). The K-State Insiders are broadcast on the channel on Mondays.
Choosing It’s Sunday, and in just a few hours, CBS will disclose the 68-team field for the NCAA Tournament. This comes after five conference tournament championship games, which included bid-stealers from the American Athletic and Ivy League. Purdue, Houston, UConn, and North Carolina are the final March Madness projections’ top seeds, but after one of the most exciting weekends ever for bubble teams, there could be some shocks elsewhere.
Dan Gavitt, senior vice president of basketball of the NCAA, stated on CBS on Saturday that the last No. 1 seed is still up for grabs. Moreover, UConn was the only presumptive top seed to win their tournament after the Tar Heels’ shocking defeat to NC State in the ACC Tournament championship game later in the evening. Isn’t parity going to win March Madness?
Can the reigning national champions, the only team predicted as the top seed to win their league tournament, win another NCAA Tournament under Dan Hurley with a different starting lineup and the same mentality? That is the aim, particularly if the Huskies secure one of the highly sought-after No. 1 seeds and make it to the East. That’s the expectation for a club that has been almost the most consistent winner in college basketball this season going into Selection Sunday. UConn accomplished a noteworthy milestone this season by dominating the Big East.
