Disagree. It's just that people want instant gratification ... how often does that happen with development? There is always going to be some guys that work out long term, and some that don't. From a singular basketball development, being in the gym without restricted hours working with NBA trainers/development coaches is always a basketball win over college with restricted hours. Outside of just the basketball aspect, there is a different convo for me. The life part ... the guys decision making on what they will do with their time.

I don't think the G-League Ignite program is ending after a recent conversation with someone that works for the NBAPA ... could it change in the future, can't rule that out. But I asked this person after Adam Silver's remarks at the All-Star Game

IMO, Texas won't limit Disu tonight or against Iowa State if the Horns play Thursday. Those are the go get 'em games. Plays into the last Q ... I don't think Texas will move any higher than a 7 seed even if they win the Big 12 Tournament. Doesn't mean I would agree with it, but it's just unlikely with everything else in CBK taking place in terms of conference tournaments/results.

To add ... last year Texas could have played Timmy Allen in the Big 12 Championship, but they made an NCAA Tournament decision with that one. And it was the correct decision.

I'm one that hates the NBA sitting out guys purposely, so this does go against the grain of my general thinking ... May take is probably not a popular one ... If Texas wins tonight, go all out to beat Iowa State because Texas would very likely end up getting off the 8/9 seed line. If Texas were to beat K-State and Iowa State, sit Disu vs. Baylor. I know it's not popular at all, but Disu playing three physical grueling games in three days is not the ideal scenario for his health, and heading into the NCAA Tournament.

Big 12 Tournament: No. 7 Texas vs. No. 10 Kansas State The second round of the Big 12 tournament begins today in Kansas City. And that includes the No. 7 seed Texas Longhorns taking on No. 10 seed Kansas State at 6 p.m. central (Big 12/ESPN+). For Texas (20-11, 9-9), a win or loss won't likely change anything from an NCAA Tournament seeding standpoint. If the bracketology projections are correct, Texas is locked into an 8/9 seed win or lose today. But a win over Kansas State today would send Texas into Thursday against No. 2 seed Iowa State with an opportunity to secure a 7 seed with a win. That makes the Big 12 Tournament meaningful for the Longhorns. Kansas State (18-13, 8-10) enters the Big 12 Tournament playing for their NCAA Tournament lives. Headed into the game, the Wildcats will not make the Field of 68. Not only does KSU need to beat Texas today, but also needs to beat No. 2 seed Iowa State Thursday. OnTexasFootball takes a look at the rankings and scenarios headed into the Big 12 Tournament. 2024 Phillips 66 Big 12 Men's Basketball Championship Tuesday, March 12 Game 1: No. 12 UCF 77, No. 13 Oklahoma State 64 (Season over for the Cowboys) Game 2: No. 11 Cincinnati 90, No. 14 West Virginia 85 (Season over for the Mountaineers) Wednesday, March 13 Game 3: No. 5 BYU vs. No. 12 UCF (ESPN2), 11:30 a.m. CT/10:30 a.m. MT Game 4: No. 8 TCU vs. No. 9 Oklahoma (Big 12 Now on ESPN+), 2 p.m. CT Game 5: No. 7 Texas vs. No. 10 Kansas State (Big 12 Now on ESPN+), 6 p.m. CT Game 6: No. 6 Kansas vs. No. 11 Cincinnati (ESPN2), 8:30 p.m. CT Thursday, March 14 Game 7: No. 4 Texas Tech vs. Winner Game 3 (ESPN2), 11:30 a.m. CT Game 8: No. 1 Houston vs. Winner Game 4 (ESPN), 2 p.m. CT Game 9: No. 2 Iowa State vs. Winner Game 5 (ESPN2), 6 p.m. CT Game 10: No. 3 Baylor vs. Winner Game 6 (ESPN or ESPN2), 8:30 p.m. CT Friday, March 15 Game 11: Winner Game 7 vs. Winner Game 8 (ESPN or ESPN2), 6 p.m. CT Game 12: Winner Game 9 vs. Winner Game 10 (ESPN or ESPN2), 8:30 p.m. CT Saturday, March 16 Game 13: Winner Game 11 vs. Winner Game 12 (ESPN), 5 p.m. CT Big 12 and the NCAA Tournament The Big 12 is a near lock to be a nine bid league. The most of any conference this year. The record for bids by one conference is the Big East in 2011 with 11. 1 seed - Houston 3 seed - Iowa State 3 seed - Baylor 4/5 seed - Kansas 5 seed - BYU 6/7 - Texas Tech 7/8 seed - Texas 10/9 seed - TCU 10/9 seed - Oklahoma Texas NCAA Tournament seeding scenarios The Longhorns are going to be a No. 7 or No. 8 seed barring a run to the Big 12 Tournament Championship Game. The majority of bracketology projections continue to have Texas as a No. 8 seed, currently. Joe Lunardi has Texas a No. 8 seed. One projection (Jerry Palm), has Texas a No. 9 seed. The metrics for Texas have the Longhorns as a possibility to be a No. 7 seed NCAA Men’s Basketball NET Rankings (March 1) Texas is No. 25 in NCAA NET headed into the Big 12 Tournament. The Horns moved up 15 spots in the last two weeks from No. 40 prior to the win in Lubbock. The Longhorns are 5-9 in Quad 1 games, 3-1 vs. Quad 2, 5-1 vs. Quad 3 and 7-0 vs. Quad 4. Kansas State is No. 70 in NCAA NET, and would be a fourth Quad 2 win for the Horns. Should the Horns advance to Thursday, Iowa State would be a Quad 1 win opportunity on a neutral court. Iowa State is No. 9 in NCAA NET. T-Rank Texas is No. 19 in Bart Torvik’s rankings currently, up from No. 23 prior to the win over Oklahoma. 2024 Ken Pomeroy College Basketball Ratings Texas checks in at No. 23 after being No. 25 prior to the victory over Oklahoma.

The way I see the G-league ... great for development, but you go away from the public/brand building for a year. There is no doubt Ron Holland developed more on a day-to-day basis in the G-league this year working with NBA personnel in skill development vs a year in college with restricted gym hours, but nobody saw him for a year...

Well, this was a national story on ESPN YESTERDAY If anything can help coaches recruit the here and now … they do and will
