selling Texas right now for the big dance. Heard it tonight on espn during the uk vs. Oklahoma game. Why they are in it's because of their 6 wins against top 50 rpi teams. NCAA selection committee I believe has pretty much cut the cats. This just sucks big time.  :banghead: :banghead: Then they showed that OK lite still had a chance to get in but had to play good ball from here on out. K-State never mentioned. I hope that the cats run the table from here on out. Then I can't wait to see the selection committee persons squirm in their seats on why the cats shouldn't be in. Just can't believe that they think that there's a chance for Ok lite yet and not us.  :curse: :curse: :curse:

Okie lite and UT both have much better RPIs.  It's that simple.

:rolleyes:

UT deserves in, Okie State..not so much. They've done a nice job of manipulating the RPI.
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

if ksu doesn't beat mu (10% shot), they don't deserve to go.  pretty hard to get worked up about.

OSU had this crazy thing called an "out of conference" schedule worth a damn. Check it out sometime F^3.

I realized the other day that even Memphis bball fans have this "everybody's out to get us" mentality.  Pretty much universal.

IF we beat MU and OSU, I believe ksu would have as many top 50 rpi wins as UT (cept we'd actually have road wins).  But that's asking alot out of the katz.

They got blasted by 3 decent teams, fats (MSU, UW-Seattle, and Gonzaga).  That should count for something.

OSU notable out of conference games = gonzaga, washington, michigan state, and sienna
KSU notable out of conference games = kentucky, oregon, iowa, and cleveland state

no it shouldn't.  it should only count if they win.  so we could have lined up and played uconn, marquette, and Louisville....lost...and now we're a "good" team?

If UT really deserves to be in and for OKie lite a chance to be in there shouldn't have to be a sell job going on right now.

You people are aware that "baracketology" and "bubble watch" are from ESPN and not the actual selection committee? It's also worth noting that Lunardi's bracket amazingly has some drastic shifts about 30-45 minutes before the selections are announced.

wtf? go frank yourself. if we still beat OSU, we should be a lock.

ok.  if they win the other 3 and a 1st rounder they're good that way too (10% shot).  happy?

we won't need to beat texas if we finish 10-6. we won't be a lock, but we can still easily get in.

where do you think the espn folk get their info from?  even gottleib shed some light on the process last night and no where has KSU been mentioned since the ukjr loss.  pretty much all tourney hopes (IMO) hinged on that game.  if we beat MU wednesday i could see us getting back into the tourney talks, but we'll still have to beat NU and OSU.  some huge games over the next week and a half.

Pretty sure there is no tourney selection convention taking place right now.  That's pretty much the only time these decisions are ever made.  There isn't, like, a room full of Joe Lunardis dissecting every Big Monday on the big screen while sequestered at a Holiday Inn or something.

pretty sure if you watched college bball final last night you woulda heard it straight from the horses mouth (gottleib) that he sat in with a few of the selection committee members about how they go about the selection process, evaluating teams, etc...
