is setting up to be a huge game for us. I know I'm looking past CU, but in reality if we lose that game we have to play on sunday in OKC to even have a shot anyway.
OSU is quickly playing their way out, and they're probably at best looking to finish out with 2 more wins and finish 7-9 in the league. However, we can still get a bump from winning in their place and it probably is a must win for our team. IMO, this could be a game that decides whether or not the Big 12 gets 4 or 5 seeds, with us being the 5th seed. OSU is likely an NIT barring some miraculous finish.
Tech can obviously still play their way out or in and I don't think the chances are high they win out, but even at 8-8 and with their good wins and SOS Tech probably still has a good enough resume in the eyes of the committee. I think Tech is likely in unless they finish under .500 in the league.
I do feel better about our chances as we got some help in the overall picture last night, but I think we need to win out our regular schedule to have any comfort. Even 2 more wins and 1 in OKC has me edgy now. We still control our own destiny and winning out is far from certain, but this team has shown they can string some wins together and we should be set up to get a 2nd wind after a decent break from the big monday game. Having those few extra days could help a bunch down the stretch.
