WILD: Iowa State STUNNED, BYU Is STILL Sweet Sixteen Team, Arizona Slams Kansas, TCU March Madness?

Big 12 Basketball was insane.

The Baylor Bears will make Mark's madness and the BYU Cougars will not?

Well, actually, they will.

And also, I think they can still want to run.

Here's why.

This is Locked On Big 12 Locked On Baylor Crossover.

You are Locked On Big 12.

You're daily podcast on the Big 12 Conference.

Part of the Locked On Podcast Network.

Your team every day.

And then TCU wins the Big 12 Championship in Women's Basketball.

That's right.

We talk about Women's Basketball.

We support women's sports here.

Gold medalists at the Olympics.

And then we'll finish the show with Jackie Bradley,

Jr. going two for five with two RBI,

Can Big 12 Basketball this week?

I heard of it.

Many are saying BYU Basketball is dead.

Same Big 12 record as West Virginia, by the way,

who they lost to 79 to same record in Big 12 play.

West Virginia should make the NCAA tournament.

I'll make that case.

Also, Cincinnati, in all the sudden,

Joe Lignardi has them in the tournament.

Utah could not suck words.

I think TCU's a lock now to make March.

Baylor with a win becomes more interesting,

despite being still fairly putrid.

5 and 11 in Big 12 plays.

Not good, but Lignardi has them right square,

squarely on the bubble.

Imagine that Baylor's brand

helping them.

Then the defense puts up 102 points in their contest.

Iowa State loses at home.

Gets like killed at home by Texas Tech.

And Arizona, I still think Kansas is an elite 18,

but Arizona dominates them.

The Arizona will win the national championship.

Let's start on the bubble.

The bubble teams did well.

West Virginia included.

Baylor included.

UCF has already locked for the tournament.

Lignardi has Baylor up there.

He's got a TCU West Virginia up there.

The Baylor thing is not as crazy as some people think.

And by some people I mean me like two days ago.

Yeah, kind of like there.

Well, I'm saying they're not that far off.

They're really not.

Like Cincinnati is in the picture, right?

I think he had them as the next four out.

But like their resumes side by side are pretty similar.

Now, Cincinnati has the edge in that A.

They beat Baylor, um, of course.

And they have a better like top win, I guess, right?

beating Iowa State and Baylor's top win is like.

West Virginia, West Virginia, West Virginia on the road.

But like they hurt overall records are similar.

They're quad one records, both stink.

They're I one is two in 10 and one is two in 11.

They're both have four quad two wins.

Like it's.

Crazier things have happened.

Okay.

And if by some miracle Baylor beats used in this week,

all of a sudden you're you're kind of knocking on the door out of nowhere.

That's what makes that Arizona games last week so big.

They almost be there or something like they came really close.

But this this was the bubble weekend, dude.

This was the bubble weekend.

And it's kind of wild to say and not they don't deserve it.

But like UCF.

That didn't really matter what they lost to Baylor.

Like they are a tournament team.

They they are firmly a tournament team right now.

And TCU is firmly a tournament team right now.

West Virginia, man.

That I mean hold your breath, mountaineers,

because they they were a tournament team last year that just didn't make the tournament.

So and watch their coach in their entire roster.

Like the fact that they're here a year later in basically the same

scenario is a huge testament to Ross Hodge in that program.

But like I don't know, I watch West Virginia and I say that's a tournament team.

The same thing with TCU.

Like before we even go one of the resumes and everything.

Like when I watch those teams, I think tournament team.

When I watch Baylor, when I watch Cincinnati,

I don't get the same feeling.

I did turn my I did turn my microphone on by the way.

That was nice.

That's nice.

You couldn't have told me before the show on microphone was off.

It didn't sound bad before the show, man.

And then I get the then I get red light Drake toll voice.

Red light Drake, you know, just jumping on every big 12 host before we got on here.

It was that foul at points, you know, some real low blows.

They call me red light Drake in college for different reasons.

Yeah, you got to there, huh?

I from my contender standpoint, I still believe I still believe in BYU.

In what sense can I give you two things here?

Yeah, a and J.

No, no, but I'm saying like you believe in them to do what?

This is a sweet 16 team.

So, so let's take this into account.

And I believe this about Kansas.

I believe this about that that middle upper tier of the big 12 Texas techs,

kind of there without JT topping of those teams being sweet 16 teams.

Here's why.

AJ Devons is a big piece for BYU.

Last year BYU had one of its best college basketball seasons ever, right?

I mean, that team was stacked, loaded, playing its best basketball late in the year,

had that win against Iowa State in the big 12 tournament.

What they do went to the sweet 16.

Now, if you're a Baylor fan, if you're a Duke fan,

if you're a Kansas fan, the sweet 16, you're like, all right.

So what?

That's what we do.

You know, that's it's wait, wait, wait, wait.

Were you including Baylor?

And I don't know why I included you stop and started.

You said, I don't know why I included Baylor.

I would cut off limbs for another sweet 16.

I think the one time Baylor made the sweet 16 the last nine years.

They did win the national champ.

Yes.

Other than that, they have not had a ton of tournaments, tournament success.

Other than that, they take the tournaments one weekend.

I believe the BYU is fun.

We split it.

This year has a, even without Richie Saunders, a starting five that I believe in more.

Like that last year's BYU and it's time we started accepting this bed.

Plumber's a mailman.

There are a couple plumbers and mailmen that stuck their way in there that have made the way to

other universities or we got hurt this year and aren't and Richie Saunders is not a plumber.

But now you have Rob Wright, the third whose defense is a liability sometimes.

At age of bonds that when you, why limit it to Rob Wright?

They're giving up like 85 a game, dude.

That's right.

I think like, but when you get into March, man, and you have that first round game against Winthrop

and the second round game against NC State or all those ACC schools, it all starts to make more sense.

I'll say that the big east is so down this year.

They're draw.

Yeah, they only get three teams.

I'm cool with that, man.

I'm cool with the draw.

The big 12 is going to get because the conference is strength is so underrated this year that,

hey, yeah, I get a BYU fans of frustrated.

Kansas fans might be frustrated, Baylor fans of frustrated.

The second you face a mid to the second you face Ohio State, right?

Or hopefully drag out of the seven spot of the big 10.

All's going to make sense again because the big 12 conference.

You have 20 seconds to respond, go.

Well, I'll just say this.

What if, what if BYU's a five seed?

And they're not.

They're not.

BYU is a six seven seed.

That's better.

Yeah, you'll lose in the first round.

That's where I first, well, right.

I'm saying the BYU's a seven seed.

I have more confidence for them against my amoeba Ohio, my amoeba Ohio.

In the, yeah, in the, yeah, in the second round, uh, something like that.

You want to be right?

You want to be five?

All right.

Like I think BYU's got the good enough top 10.

They're top end talent still to get to the sweet 16.

Hey, yeah, it's just this, it's inconsistent, man.

You're preparing it.

Yeah.

You're preparing yourself for AJ Debons to play for 40 minutes.

Also Iowa State.

Ooh, it takes just 20 shots.

Reset button.

Taking 20 shots is, I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want to do that.

Red light trick.

I wouldn't want to do that.

It's in the description, which is what I always say first before telling you

I wore locked on big 12 dot supercast.com or that.

Yep.

For sure.

Cam.

Drama of foot in the do say grind between BYU and Utah.

Alex Markham who is a a prominent Utah source.

tweets the following that 20 million dollar BYU basketball roster.

Here has crumbled.

Get it because it's pretty good.

That's pretty good.

I got to give them credit there.

See what I did there.

So 20 million dollars by the way, that got 1.9 thousand likes.

You would give a you would give a lot for 1.5 1.9 thousand likes on a tweet.

I did.

How about 1.9 thousand views on a YouTube video?

I'd love that too.

That that statement is crazy.

20 million dollars Spencer Linton,

front of the program, response to that and says,

you say it like you know the financial number.

When a reality you have zero clue.

I know the number and Spencer by the way works for BYU TV.

He knows the number.

But you will never know the actual number.

And it's not even close to what you say it is.

Why do you insist on spreading false information?

Is rage bait really your platform?

It's going down on the big 12 Twitter.

Yes.

Can we get J.Hawk Lasso's full response here?

J.Hawk Lasso said.

It's Spencer Cook this man.

Gotcha.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Spencer Cook this man.

Pretty good.

Yeah.

Leave that on screen for a second.

So Alex Markham Utah, Utah reporter says 20 million dollars.

Spencer Linton says I work there.

And not, not, no, that's not it.

Markham response.

Thanks for engaging Spencer.

Everyone, including other big 12 administrators,

knows BYU is going far beyond the cap with players.

And might I say NIL is not capped.

Revenue sharing is capped.

I think Alex knows that's not what he's going for here.

But he's going far beyond the cap.

I mean props to them for being able to.

But it's amusing with how the basketball team is doing.

Here comes Spencer.

OK, so your whole platform is to try and rage bait people.

That's a ridiculous platform by the way.

That anyone who runs a platform like that.

You don't care about the truth.

your currency is clits. Well, at least you answered my question. I thought you were better

than that, man. Disappointing. Oh, oh, that's her. Sheesh, man, that's the actually

disappointing, man. This is like when JT West or so comes on literally any one of our

shows. This is what the comments look like. The comments usually say your whole platform

is to try and rate spate people. Um, so Markham posts the $20 million, Spencer Lenton

who works for BYU says not 20 million. And then Alex says, well, you know, the BYU

is breaking the rules. Spencer claps back. And then finally, Alex says, okay, I'm going

to, I'm going to try to end the last one to button here. Alex says, nah, man, I just

have a little harmless fun. You should try to have some harmless fun. I've actually

said some pretty complimentary things about BYU. And that's what this is like say wrong

complimentary. I think I'm going to, I'm going to go somewhere crazy. I've actually said

some pretty complimentary things about BYU. That's what cracks me up every time I'm blunt

about something and you BYU fans lose it at me. Enjoy your Sunday, my dude. Uh, this

is like saying, I'm not racist. I have black friends. You make a really big statement

where you're like, oh, yeah, BYU is 20 million. You, you're rage baiting. Um, and look,

that most of Twitter is rage bait, by the way. So I'm, I'm, you know, far be it for

me to, to, to be mean to the rage baiter. But hitting him with a, uh, hey, and by the way,

I say nice things about BYU too. I've said nice things about BYU in the past is I'm not

racist. I'm not rage baiting. I have black friends. My, my college roommate is feeding

the means. Well, but that's the, that's the equivalent here. We've got, um, we've got

beef on the timeline. We have got some serious beef there. That is, that is real, real

beef. So you don't think it's 20 million? I was entertained. And that's what the conversation

should get. Okay. What is it? What is it actually? Yeah. Let's, let's get the truth.

No, I do not. No, I do not. I have a lot. Yeah. I, and so here's why I have spoken

with inside sources of BYU and I, I have no doubt. By the way, Alex Markham is really

well-connected. And you know what? Maybe he's got a pretty confident source who said 20

million based on some number or a source who's donating and thinks it's 20 million based

on some number, right? Maybe I, you know, I can't speak for that. What I can speak for

is the deposit number. Let's say the deposit number is on a high, high end of what we've

hit, right? Six to eight million dollars. Let's say eight, which I don't think it's eight.

And the rob right number was three and a half. So the richie saunders number would be,

we'll say, we'll put richie saunders at three and a half, two, three. I don't think they

needed to pay him as much to stay BYU guy. He's sticking around. He got his payday and

that Kentucky debacle where he almost went with Mark Pope. So we're at 12 million dollars

here, 13 million dollars. And that's on the, and that's us doing the high end of the game.

You're telling me that, and this is me being facetious because I get a BYU is a very

good roster. You're telling me the plumbers and the mailman outside of the big three are making

up seven or eight million dollars of this roster. Half the guys are sitting around hurt

or making seven, eight million dollars. Like I, I get it. Bosco's good. Cato's good. Dawson

Baker's good. I don't think I've do a mad needed that much money to leave the NBA ranks

and forfeit the NBA all star opportunity to play at BYU. Also, that's sarcasm. I don't

think it's 20 million. Can I give an unpopular take around college sports that does, I mean,

BYU, I think would fit into this unpopular take. Don't raise pay, please. It's like even

if BYU was giving 20 million dollars out to the roster, like that, that would suck for

schools like, you know, Baylor and TCU and in the smaller schools in the conference that

that can't pony that up. But it's like, I find it tough to be mad at that. Like, you know,

BYU and Texas Tech have seemingly endless pockets when it comes to paying these guys

for football and basketball. It's like, well, yeah, that's, that's kind of how the game

is played now. That's, that's what the NCAA has allowed, you know, and, and it does kind

of stink, but no more than anything else in college sports does. Like if college sports

allowed for this to happen, then it's like, why wouldn't you take advantage? It's like

the Dodgers and baseball, man, right? There's no salary cap there. They found a way to, to

buy up all these players because they do deferred payments. It's like, why isn't anybody

else doing that? You know what I mean? Why isn't, why are other teams or schools investing

like that? And I know some of them can't. I cover a team that can't do that kind of

money. But it's like, that's what the NCAA has put forward. That's what they have allowed.

That's what, you know, that's how they've made the game, so to speak. So even if it was

that, which I agree, I don't, I don't think they're, they're putting 20 million dollars into

that roster. Um, even if it was saying, yeah, well, that's, that's what the game is now.

That's, I'm going to show you something. I'm going to show you something. One of my favorite

memes of all time, um, spence, post a picture of pizza, it says always flip a lucky. That's

cheese pizza. One piece flipped over. Carried technician says looks awful to expense replies

with. If you died, nothing in my life would change. That's how I feel that a BYU is spending

20 million dollars on this basketball roster. If you died, nothing in my life would change.

Like, it's just, if they are, it doesn't, but there's a war going on. And, and cooling

tandem, it works with, with the, a smile might be good. Nothing's, nothing smile about

my life. Like every time someone's like, you hear BYU is paying 20 million dollars

to roster, they're bombing people. They're, they're, they're, there is genocide in some

random country in Latin America. Yeah, man, to me, like the whole, to bring it back to

a Rob Wright thing, something that I was very much worked up about. Like, before doing

a blame pie, it's like 95% the fact that he walked away from a signed contract and

5% the money he's actually getting paid. You know, like at that point, I don't really

care, you know, that it's this much more money. It's just like, it's again going back

to we need to have some rules in place. So that's, that is hating the game rather than

the player, so to speak.

Coming up, T.C. women's basketball wins the regular season again to the past, the

Baylor Bears, fire, the coach, maybe locked on big 12, locked on Baylor.

It starts spreading the news. Today's show is brought to you by Robin Hood. Look, dog.

I'm 25 years old. That's still pretty ripe. I used to, I could get on the show, like,

I'm 21 years old. Like the age was just jarring. 25 is pretty normal now, which sucks.

Throgs women's basketball team. Just one gold in the big 12 regular season. They are

champions of the conference. Once again, knocking off the Baylor Bears in Fort Worth with

America watching. It was cool having the game day thing participating in that. Going

to women's basketball for a second, giving credit to TCU and the rest of the big 12 came

I'm. Die. Look, Baylor has been way better than Notre Dame was or Tennessee was after

their legendary coaches left. Baylor's been good after the legendary Kim Mulkey left,

okay? I don't know what that counts for considering Baylor fans have been trained for rings.

And now TCU is accumulating all of those. Yeah, it's not good. It's not good. I'll tell

you that much. It's the first time in 20 years that they'll go four straight seasons

that winning a big 12 championship, potentially, potentially, if they don't win the conference

tournament, which I'm not going to pick them to do that. It's, it's, it's a kind of unfortunate

state of affairs. I would say for Baylor women's basketball because you were dominant, dominant

at a time where America didn't really care that much. Like let's be completely honest

here. Okay. And then as soon as the country did start to care, which is great for sports,

Baylor is a good, not great, not a power, not not one that would have gotten all the

attention that it would have, you know, had the dynasty kind of been pushed back a couple

of years and Kim Mulkey had stayed. So that's the one thing. And then the other thing is

we talked about it with football so much, you know, who is going to be the dominant

power now that Texas know you left when it came to women's basketball, if you're Baylor,

you're like, all right, man, like we don't have Kim Mulkey anymore, but the only real competition

we have at the top, Vic Schaefer in Texas is gone. Perfect. And now they can't get back

to the throne. They didn't lose to TCU for 35 years, 35 years. That's a long time. And

now they've lost five in a row. So yeah, it kind of sucks. And now three of them were

quasi big 12 championship games last year, regular season championship on your home floor.

You lost conference championship game. You lost this one TCU would already quit to share,

but you could have done one of the greatest things in sports and indeed in life. Three

way tie for the big 12 championship. And they couldn't do that either. And they don't beat

ranked teams. So and then a second for TCU. Let's see if they can hold onto their coach

if we're being honest because that dude Campbell can flat out coach like they they finally

put something together last year with VanLith and Sedona Prince. And then oh, too bad.

So sad. They're both gone. And all they do is get the national player of the year in

Olivia Miles. And in Suarez there who was a nice player for a couple of years now looks

like an all-American. And so they just reloaded again. TCU is the best women's basketball

program in this conference. And Mark Campbell is the best coach in this conference.

Yeah. Credit TCU here. Baylor. Stop saying that. Baylor perspective it. It maybe had

20 years yet 35 years. It's it this, but this is for for those who are wondering how

the transit property works here. This is like my I don't get that women's basketball thing.

I even watch an internet podcast off. I watch them. I listen to that. I don't even care.

This is the equivalent of making a college football thing. Okay. Thank you. I'm back. Texas

is loses five straight to Texas state. You know, like how would this have ever happened?

They were an afterthought. And then yeah, they got into the pack 12 and trying to rebuild

that conference. But there's still an afterthought. Oh, yeah, it would it would be like if Indiana

suddenly got good at football and started beating Ohio State every year, five straight times.

Yeah. And you can't be in the box on the line. And you're like, oh, we can't even stop

that. We can't even come close to stopping that at this point. That's and buddy, but what's

even crazier is I still like using the Texas example a little bit. I guess maybe not doesn't

really work that way. But Texas is if TCU is doing it without competing at all at the national

scale. I can at least make it worth it in March. Go to a final four. Yeah, at least go to

a final four win an national championship. I can feel better. I don't know if it feel better,

but this thing, you know, you're like, all right, we lost to a team that is top four in a loaded

college basketball season. But no, you just lost to TCU who's going to lose in the sweet 16 elite

eight. And no, we're the team that lost to them when Baylor loses in the sweet 16 elite eight.

And the big 12s in this weird part. That'd be nice. That'd be a nice run for them. I think

be why you should make the tournament women's basketball. Colorado should be in their Oklahoma

state is is a lock for sure. I think Utah has a plenty to get. The big tub has so many teams sitting

about 500 in conference play. Plenty of about 500 in college basketball TCU. Baylor should both

host that first round west for genius in that category. Texas tech is near that category.

Iowa state is in the tournament like he's a big 12 could have close to 10 teams in there based

on records this year. But you know how America hates the big 12. They hate the big 12 women too.

I've long said that about America. And I have women practice. I was mentioned in the state of the

union. So you can't tell me that it was mentioned in the halftime show that you watched. Yeah.

You can't tell. You can't. By the way, I have a lot of female friends. Correct.

Got me in trouble in college. You cannot tell me that I'm not a fan of women's basketball.

I have friends that are girls. So now what? Some of them are D1 athletes in the big 12.

Correct. Correct. That's cute. That's Cameron. Shooter. I have a mom in a way in a way. I have two mobs.

I can't believe it. Mary mother Mary. Of course. Yep. Of course. Was she the second there or were you?

She's the technicality second. I also have Medea.

Tyler Perry. What's she gets back from jail? I thought she went to school.

I think that does Chris. Whatever. Whatever earnest did. I think Medea did as well.

I hope we can come for years later. Whatever Mr. Bean got up to.

She's a bride of the co-tails of that. It's a trend.

I can't. This damn Havachi plays. I ordered food from 35 minutes ago. It's going to be ready 20 minutes.

They haven't even prepared the order yet. Dude, you know what? You're getting it for like $7.

Yeah, it is really cheap. You got like a dinner for three for like $7.50.

That's that's my local Havachi placement and they're really good at what they do.

Drop a drop in the comments who my two mobs are. Can we get that? That'll get some engagement.

If you've stayed this long, damn it.

Vlogged on Baylor. You see you basketball players. That's that's not allowed.

Mark Campbell. Who's your mommy? I think they called the Mark Hamill at one point in the broadcast.

I was like, that's not it. I know that's not it. Harry Fisher's been dead for like 10 years.

I was reminded of that the other day. She's been dead for a long time.

Married to?

Harry Fisher was the only one. Not the only one, but this is a good one. Married to like the one

that you would think of first or should I do at least? Mark Campbell. Yeah.

Try Paul Simon. Oh yeah, I did do that. Uh-huh. It did six up on you and then he wrote

Graceland. Wait to wait to hear about James Taylor. Graceland and Liz Taylor.

Paul Simon. Yep. Married to Harry Fisher. They divorce. He writes Graceland about his nine

year old son who's sitting in the car after the divorce and they drive together to Graceland

where he feels like he'll be accepted. Everyone's accepted there. I think it's a line in the song,

which is not something I've ever thought about Graceland. It's yeah. I mean, I would have thought

that was like a euphemism for heaven in a way. Yeah, but I don't really want to go to. Yeah,

he's just actually meant great. He's just actually going to race forever. Everybody's to somebody
