KSU : KU, @ BU, @ MU, ISU, @A&M, OSU
UT : @ OU, @ OSU, BU, @ TT, OU, @ KU
OSU : @MU, UT, @ OU, A&M, KU, @ KSU

UT has 4 games against teams below them in the standings.....OSU and KSU have 2

hello 6th, vs Baylor in the conf tourney. usually we get beat by ku 3 times in a year, now we'll have the opportunity to have Colorado and Baylor to that list. thank god those games against OU were in january.

I think we beat Baylor in Waco, and also win the last three on our schedule...and make the NCAA's.

Looking forward to you leaving...for awhile.

I was watching Semi Pro yesterday and it had a lot of real life significance for me. Especially the first 30 seconds here.

i'd much rather play bu than isu in the big 12 tourney. about equally hard to beat and you get a lot more credit for beating bu than isu.

5th:
KSU : @MU, ISU, @A&M, OSU
UT : BU, @TT, OU, @KU
OSU : @OU, A&M, KU, @KSU

Yesterday's games made things much more interesting. OSU improved themselves, but they'll have a hard time winning more than 2 more games and we get them in the OOD. UT and us both likely have a loss with our road games @KU and @MU, so it comes down to the other three. UT has the easier road with OU and @TT, but BU in Austin could be interesting. None of our final 3 are guarantees by any means, but I like our chances to finish 10-8. If we tie with UT (assuming they lose to KU), we will own the tiebreaker via beating a team higher in the Big 12 rankings (MU) than UT did, which is the 2nd tiebreaker after head to head games.

3rd:
BU: @UT, OU, TT, @ISU
ISU: TT, @KSU, @MU, BU

The race for 3rd could come down to the final game in Ames, but ISU does have two tough road games.

kenpom projects it this way:
BU 12-6
ISU 11-7
UT 10-8
KSU 9-9

I don't think it matters anymore, but Lunardi has KU, Missouri, Baylor, ISU, EMAW, and Texas making the tourney.

5 or more games to play, none of which are against texas tech. it all matters.

This. We've lost to ou twice, we aren't above anything. our remaining schedule is still pretty difficult.

My neck is sore from all the strutting and collar popping since yesterday afternoon. Starting to feel my age.

How about 3rd?

kso_FAN · « **Reply #87 on:** February 21, 2012, 09:44:50 PM »

Dang, we pretty much sealed the tiebreaker for the Clones.

And now I regret cheering for Baylor last night...

Feels good to have cheered for them last night. More faith in the Cats than _FAN, so that's fun.

We are looking good for either 4 or 5. It is a meaningless distinction though as they play each other in the second round of the B12. If we win out and ISU loses to MU & Baylor we are 4th. If ISU gets one of those we are tied and I'm not sure what the tiebreaker is at that point. They beat KU so they get 4?

If Mizzou and KU tie, Mizzou would in all likelihood be awarded the tie breaker for first giving us the tie breaker for fourth

Yes, if we tie with ISU, they own the tiebreaker. But we both get 4th place trophies.

kso_FAN · « **Reply #96 on:** February 22, 2012, 07:56:39 AM »

And MIR is correct above, if MU would sweep KU, then we would have the tiebreaker for 4th.

jmlynch1 · « **Reply #97 on:** February 22, 2012, 10:49:47 AM »

I would rather be relegated to meaningless 5th seed than see Mizzou win a Big 12 title.
