Title: Would you rather play...in the 4/5 game
Post by: fatty fat fat on February 21, 2007, 09:45:33 PM

OSU/OU/NU are all pretty much eliminated from the 5/6 slots.

Tech.

We owe those bastards, and it could really help KSU get over any "bubble hump" there might be headed into OKC.

I do, however, remember that CU played Tech as the 4 seed and lost and ended up being screwed after they lost...I think.

As someone pointed out elsewhere: it's not a given that we'll finish 4th.  UT has a fairly tough schedule and we do own the tiebreaker so we could finish 3rd.  OU/OSU rematch anyone?  Bleah.

Tech.

Difficult to beat one team three times in one season, unless one team completely outclasses the other.  Plus, Mizzou is playing well.

Please, let us win the next 3, though. Please.

tech definately.  beat them and we help our case a bit.  beating ou/osu/mu is just more of the same.

Definately Tech, Mizzou is hot right now.

I've changed my mind on this after doing some research.  Winning over Mizzou helps us zilch.  Us winning over Tech pops another bubble while pushing ourself even closer to the "good side" of the bubble.

Lose to either and we're NIT bound.

I don't want anything to do with mizzou again -- plus beating Tech (assuming it could be done) would help push them off of the bubble.

Tech would give us the biggest boost.  MU doesn't help us much at all.

Tech. It's hard to beat a team 3 times in one season, and I think we match up with Tech really well. They just caught us at the perfect time.

Tech leans on two players that play 37 and 35 minutes per game.  OSU leans on two players that play 36 and 33 minutes per game.  I think that may be catching up with them, especially since neither has a real deep bench.  I'm hopeful we can sort of catch our second wind down the stretch here, especially since none of our guys has been relied on to play more than 30 minutes a game this year.  Jackson for Tech has played 300 more minutes, and Curry 200 more (with one less game b/c of NU being moved), than any single player on our roster.  I don't care how good of shape you're in, that's going to where on you.  I don't think its any coincidence both Tech and OSU seem to be fading down the stretch, Tech may just get some relief from their schedule.

Mizzou. You don't want to give Bob Knight a week to prepare for you.
