Title: How do we do in the Big 12 torn-a-ment?
Post by: deputy dawg on March 06, 2015, 10:51:35 AM
So, 'Cats have never won the Big 12 Mens BB tournament, and won their last Big 8 conference tournament in 1980.  Everyone says that the only avenue to NCAA tourney is winning he confy tournament.  Odds that we can win it in 2015?

This team isn't beating Oklahoma, ISU, and Kansas in 3 straight days on a neutral court. It just isn't happening.

I would put the chance higher than usual tho, as there really isn't a bad matchup for the cats in this tournament.  Hell, the two squads that gave us the most trouble imo, WVU and Baylor are almost guaranteed to play each other in the 4/5 game.

That was less delusional than us winning the Big XII tourney

People who plan on us even making Friday night's games are probably the type that play the "If I win the lottery, I will buy _____" game every Friday when they buy their Kansas Pick 3 ticket on the way home from work.

KSU's chances of winning the B12 tournament = 0.84%

Royals' chances of making the playoffs, as of July 2014 (you didn't specify which part of July so I chose the lowest point, which was July 21) = 7%

Looks like TSC bros will be playing without Cliff Alexander, but don't know how much that will actually hurt them given his recent play.

Also don't know how soon Ellis will return from that sprained knee (his absence will definitely hurt them, he's been red hot).
