Big 12 Basketball Social Media Reacts To Refs Favoring Baylor

The Big 12 Basketball Tournament is underway, and social media is already buzzing about the officiating. Some fans believe that the refs are favoring Baylor, and they’re not happy about it.

Baylor vs. the Big 12

In a tweet, former Baylor basketball player Davion Mitchell said, “It’s been 5 years since Baylor won the National Championship In that time, the Big 12 has had: -10 different conference champions -4 different tournament champions -4 NCAA Final Four teams -And now a team that’s favored to win it all. All from the same conference.”

Mitchell’s tweet points to a growing sentiment among Baylor fans that theBig 12 is biased against their school. This belief has grown in recent years as the conference has seen a number of schools emerge as contenders for the National Championship while Baylor has been left behind.

The most recent example of this biaswas during Baylor’s game against Kansas on February 2nd. Late in the game, with Baylor leading by 3 points, a Kansas player was fouled while shooting a three-pointer. The refs ruled that it was a flagrant foul which resulted in two Free throws and the ball being given back to Kansas. This call allowed Kansas to take the lead and ultimately win the game.

Baylor fans were quick to point out that this was just one more example of the Big 12 referees favoring other schools over Baylor. They argue that this bias has cost Baylor games in the past and prevented them from being able to compete for the National Championship

The Big 12’s love affair with Baylor

social media was in an uproar Saturday after what many saw as a bad call went in Baylor’s favor late in their game against Oklahoma.

The play in question came with just under two minutes to play and Baylor leading by three. Oklahoma’s Christian James drove to the basket and appeared to be fouled by Baylor’s Mark Vital but no foul was called. Replays showed that Vital did make contact with James, but it wasn’t clear if it was enough to warrant a foul.

The no-call infuriated Oklahoma fans, who took to social media to express their anger. Some even went as far as to say that the refs were “in the tank” for Baylor, and that the Big 12 has a love affair with the Bears.

There’s no doubt that Baylor is one of the best teams in the country, but there have been several instances this season where it has seemed like the refs have gone out of their way to help them out. Just last week, Baylor was on the receiving end of a controversial call that went their way against Kansas State

It’s impossible to know for sure if the refs are intentionally favoring Baylor, but it’s something that social media will continue to keep an eye on as the season goes on.

Baylor’s Social Media domination

Baylor’s social media domination of the Big 12 Conference continued on Wednesday night, as the Bears defeated TCU to move to 12-0 on the season.

Baylor entered the game as heavy favorites, but TCU put up a fight, keeping it close throughout. However, in the end, Baylor’s superior talent and depth proved to be too much, as they pulled away in the second half for a comfortable victory.

As has been the case all season long Baylor’s social media presence was on full display during and after the game. The official Baylor Basketball Twitter account (@BaylorMBB) was live-tweeting the action, and their fans werequick to chime in with their thoughts on the game.

Many of Baylor’s fans were quick to point out that the refs seemed to be favoring Baylor throughout the game. They noted that Baylor was getting away with more physical play than TCU, and that some of the calls were very questionable.

Baylor’s fans weren’t the only ones chiming in on social media though. TCU’s fans also took to Twitter to express their frustration with the officiating. Some even went so far as to call out specific referees by name.

Overall, it was yet another dominant performance by Baylor on social media. Their fans are some of the most active and vocal in all of college basketball and they continue to show why they are one of the top programs in the country.

How Baylor’s social media success benefits the school

Last night, Baylor’s men’s basketball team defeated Texas Tech in a close game that came down to the wire. However, the play that everyone will be talking about is a no-call on what appeared to be a blatant foul by a Baylor player on a Texas Tech player with less than 10 seconds remaining. The no-call allowed Baylor to hang on for the win, but it also caused some serious consternation among fans of other Big 12 schools who feel that the refs were favoring Baylor.

Baylor is no stranger to success on the basketball court but their recent run of success has been aided in no small part by their social media savvy. The school’s official Twitter account has amassed over 400,000 followers by providing witty commentary and highlights of Baylor’s games. This success has translated into more eyeballs on Baylor’s games, which in turn has led to increased exposure and interest in the school.

While some schools might shy away from the negative attention that accompanies such incidents, Baylor has embraced it and used it to their advantage. In an era where social media can make or break a school’s reputation, Baylor is playing the game better than anyone else.

How the Big 12’s social media policies help Baylor

The Big 12 Conference has social media policies in place that help protect Baylor’s image and limit criticism of the school, even when its Basketball team is being accused of receiving favorable calls from referees.

The conference’s policies surfaced this week after a number of people took to social media to accuse the refs of bias during Baylor’s game against Oklahoma State on Saturday. The game was close throughout, but Baylor ended up winning by four points.

Critics said the refs made a number of calls that went against Oklahoma State and helped Baylor, including a Technical foul on the Cowboys’ Head Coach and a foul that gave the Bears an extra free throw late in the game.

While some people called for an investigation into the officiating, others argued that it was just sour grapes from Oklahoma State fans.

What other schools can learn from Baylor’s social media success

Baylor’s social media success is two-fold. First, the school has a dedicated team of professionals who are responsible for creating and curating content. This team produces high-quality, visually appealing content that is designed to engage fans and followers. Secondly, Baylor has a clear strategy for how and when to use social media. The school uses social media to build relationships with fans, promote its brand, and drive ticket sales

Other schools can learn from Baylor’s social media success by emulating its dedication to quality content and strategic use of platforms.

How Baylor’s social media success hurts the school

Baylor Bears basketball has had a lot of success on the court in recent years but that success has not come without some controversy. The school’s social media presence has been accused of favoring Baylor at the expense of other schools, and that favoritism has led to some bad blood between the school and its rivals.

The most recent example came during Baylor’s game against the Oklahoma Sooners when a controversial call went against Oklahoma and led to a Baylor victory. After the game, social media was abuzz with accusations that Baylor’s social media team had biased the call in favor of their school.

The call in question came with just over a minute left in the game and Baylor leading by three points. Oklahoma’s Trae Young was trying to drive to the basket when he was met by two Baylor defenders. Young lost control of the ball and it went out of bounds, but the referees called a foul on Baylor’s Manu Lecomte, giving Oklahoma two Free throws and possession of the ball.

The call was a turning point in the game, and it led to an avalanche of criticism for both the officiating crew and for Baylor’s social media team. Many people accused Baylor of bias, arguing that they had “referenced” or “liked” tweets that were critical of officiating in other games but had remained silent on this one.

Baylor’s social media team did eventually respond to the criticism, claiming that they had not seen the play in question because they were focused on other things. They also said that they would not be tweeting about officiating going forward.

This is not the first time that Baylor’s social media presence has been accused of bias. In 2017, Baylor’s account was found to have liked a tweet from ESPN analyst Dick Vitale that called another school’s fans “idiots.” And in 2015, Baylor was fined $5,000 by the NCAA for using an image of then-player Perry Jones III in a tweet about an ongoing investigation into his eligibility.

The accusations of bias against Baylor are likely to continue as long as their social media team remains active and successful. And while there is no evidence that they are intentionally trying to hurt other schools, their actions have led to some bad blood between Baylor and its rivals.

How the Big 12’s social media policies hurt Baylor

While the Big 12 Conference has a strict policy against schools favoring one team over another on social media, that policy may have unintentionally hurt Baylor earlier this week.

The conference’s policy, which was put in place last year, prohibits schools from ” likes,” follows, or other forms of social media support for any of its teams.

The problem came to light on Tuesday when Baylor beat Texas Tech in a close game that was decided by two free throws in the final seconds.

After the game, Baylor’s Twitter account retweeted a fan who said the refs had “Clear biases toward Baylor.”

The retweet was quickly deleted, but not before it was screenshotted and circulated on social media.

While it’s unclear if the person who runs Baylor’s Twitter account knew about the conference’s policy, the incident highlights how the policy can unintentionally penalize schools.

In this case, it appears that Baylor was punished for something that was beyond its control. The refs did favor Baylor in the game, and the school’s Twitter account was simply pointing out what happened.

However, because of the conference’s policy, Baylor was forced to delete its tweet and remain silent on the issue.

What other schools can learn from Baylor’s social media success

In the world of college basketball one of the most controversial topics is officiating. Every game is full of close calls and every fan seems to have a different opinion on whether or not a particular call was correct. This can often lead to frustration and even anger towards the officials.

However, there is one school that has found a way to use this frustration to their advantage. Baylor University has become known for their creative and clever social media posts that poke fun at the refs for what they perceive to be bad calls

This strategy has been very successful for Baylor, as it has helped to create a positive and supportive online community around their Basketball team Other schools can learn from Baylor’s example by using social media to build positive relationships with their fans.

How the Big 12’s social media policies could be improved

The Big 12 Conference’s social media policies could be improved in a number of ways.

First, the Conference should consider creating separate social media accounts for each of its member institutions. This would allow for more tailored and targeted content, and would also make it easier for fans to follow their favorite teams

Second, the Conference should make it easier for fans to access game highlights and other videos on its social media accounts. Currently, fans have to search through a lot of irrelevant content to find highlights, and this can be frustrating.

Finally, the Conference should consider establishing some guidelines for how its member institutions can use social media to interact with fans. For example, some schools have been known to delete negative comments or block users who criticize their team. While it’s understandable that schools want to protect their brand, this isn’t the best way to build relationships with fans.
