And let's use the Final Four dating back to 2005 to do so. This isn't the first year we've been the "#1 RPI" conference, after all, or heard all year how we were the best conference in basketball according to pundits from December to February.
Since 2005, the Big 12 has sent two -- two! -- teams to the Final Four, over 11 seasons. Both of those teams were, of course, KU. Let's see how that stacks up to other conferences...
Sweet! The Missouri Valley and Conference USA have got nothing on the Big XII!
In other words, the next time someone tells you the Big XII is the "best league in basketball," you'd be wise not to believe them. This league is Kansas and a bunch of nothing.
