At this point I think it's more likely the Cats fall to a 10 than rise to a 7. ISU at home would be a significant win though.
I think we are gonna have to get 3 more wins to get off of the 8/9 game. That could be going 3-1 to end the season or 2-2 and win a Big12 tourney game (very likely the 4 vs 5 game in the B12). Like always it will depend on what those teams that are barely ahead of us do the rest of the year too.
I had Memphis as my weakest 7 seed. They have a good 20-6(10-4) record but only 4 of those wins are vs top 150. Lunardi had SMU as a 7 while I have them as a 9. Their non con SOS being 294 is horribly bad. And the American conference has good teams in the top half and terrible teams in the bottom half (thus the 8th rated conf overall). So the conf sched for SMU helps them some but their overall SOS is still 165(rpi 45)
** Last year Oregon went 26-8 but non con SOS was 253 and their overall SOS was only 125, RPI 46. They got a 12 seed
Would only take an 8/9 seed if we play WSU in the 2nd round.
Can you imagine shockernet if we beat them?
Yeah, being in the 8/9 game with Shockers as the 1 would be totally fine. If we don't get that, then being in the 8/9 game will likely suck
