ESPN's Early Season Big 12 Review

5

I have to seriously question the basketball acumen of someone who labels an 8-3 team that was picked to finish 8th in the Big 12 the conference's biggest disappointment thus far. Really, Dana? I realize there aren't a whole lot of teams to choose from, given that Nebraska, Texas Tech, Iowa State and Colorado were the only teams picked to finish behind us and they have been as putrid as planned, but c'mon. We lost one NBA lottery pick and one guy who was taken in the second round, have blown out the crappy teams we were supposed to blow out, and have lot by a combined nine points in three games against major conference foes. What a disappointment. Thank God we weren't picked to finish oh, say, tied for third, and were currently oh, say, 8-3 with, oh, say, one of those losses coming to Massachusetts and a blowout loss to an Arizona team that Texas A&M beat. It really is a shame we've been more disappointing than that. If we were having a contest for most disappointing major sports media outlet, ESPN would win going away.
