No way, Cuse has that zone that Drink Stir would eat up. He'd probably have 10 assists.

have you even watched the last 2 games?  This team is rough ridin' terrible.  I guess if we get enough media slobbing on our nuts we might sneak in with our 17-13 (7-11) record.  Though at this point I don't see us winning 7 conference games being that we barely beat a godawful texas team by 4 at home, choked our ass off to blow a lead vs. baylor, and got blown out at ou.

Baylor is a much better team than KSU. Still, KSU literally had to crap down their legs in 4 straight possessions in order to lose that game by 2 points. Doesn't bother me, because that is not a typical occurrence.

We controlled the Texas game from start to finish imo (minus that 5 min stretch in the first half). KSU shot 12% under their season average on FTs, and as _FAN pointed out, UT shot 19% over their season avg on FTs, which is the only reason it was close at the end. Again, doesn't bother me, because that is not a typical occurrence.

The OU game is clearly the anomaly of the season. But Frank teams always ALWAYS have a game like the OU game. Every season. Hasn't stopped KSU from getting high seeds. We were a 2 seed after 2 OU-type performances.

Time will tell if the OU game is actually an anomaly, or a precursor for the way the team will play the rest of the season. History, stats, and the eye test all suggest it is the former.

This weekend will tell us a lot. I still want to see us handle OSU, who we should match up well with.

That said I think UT, ISU, and us will battle for the 4-6 spots in this league, and perhaps all 3 could be tournament teams, or at least 2 of the 3.

6 seed is our ceiling, IMO.

If we make the NCAA tourney though, I think a 10 or 11 seed like in 2008 is more likely based on what we've seen so far.

This team just seems to lack the same mental toughness to put games away and to compete at the same level we have in the past on the road in the Big XII under Frank.  Like _Fan said, we'll learn a lot this weekend against a marginal OSU team that we never beat in Stillwater.

I'd take a 10 over the 8/9 line.

Just playing the games should help, but we really need at least one win in our next 4 games. Its not the most important thing, but our RPI is not good right now.

Warren Nolan already has us at a 6.  Beating Baylor may seal the deal on a 7, and maybe it will be enough for a six.

Beat Baylor and KU, and I think we get up to the five line.  Win the whole thing, and we could be looking at a five or four, and easily a four if we beat Baylor, KU, and MU to win out the whole thing.

maybe 1, probably 2. ya never know with the committee. was anyone expecting us to be a 5 last year?? (especially after 3rd cu lost in first round of P66) i feel like everyone was expecting more of a 6-7-8 seed. so maybe that will happen again, and we will be a 6 or 7.

No one in the world knows that, the chairman of the committee wouldn't be able to tell you that.  That's why this bracketology stuff is ridiculous, its all part of a giant puzzle and for seeds between 3-14 the movement of one piece effects all the others.  It's an S curve.  Our seed, at this point, has as much to do with the performance and profile of others as much as our own.  As matchups go there is a huge difference between a 6 and a 9, as seeding goes there isn't much difference at all.  The NCAA will move seeds for reasons completely unrelated to direct on court results.  See our 11 seed versus a 6 seeded USC in Omaha in 2008.

Five seed last year was such a huge, wonderful surprise.

I know I should be jumping up and down about the chance to play a #1 seed in the second round but I obviously like our chances at beating a #2 or #3 seed a lot better.
