9th Place in Big 12 should be a tournament team.

DerMarr Johnson (still at WVU) just posted on Xtwit that the big 12 refs came into their practice and basically told WVU they aren't calling charges this year.

Big 12 just let out that they're expecting to move to 20 MBB and 18 WBB games for conference play next season. That's two cupcake games you don't have to attend and a little less buy game money out the door for the Athletic Dept. Should considerably help the SOS as well.
