..this Saturday....baylor or Iowa St? Winner will likely be the 4th seed and our first round opponent.

I'd rather play Baylor. Really a win-win situation. If we lose, not a bad loss. Win, and it is another top rpi win.

Also, I'd rather not be Coloradoed again.

Cheer for ISU so we can play Baylor. And it's not even close.

So is the question "Who should we cheer for?" or "Who do we want to play"? Because I think some people are confused.

DON'T CARE

Guess, if Baylor wins, we could have the chance for another win against a ranked team and improve our seeding?

This should be the unanimous answer.

I'll make a decision if somebody posts how it would affect what times the KSU games are in the big 12 tornament.

I think we are basically locked into the 5 seed. 11:30 AM thursday game

steve dave · « **Reply #13 on:** February 29, 2012, 07:41:11 AM »

given that, is there any way we could drop to the more desirable 6 spot?

Yes. Barring a ridiculous upset and UT winning in Lawrence, even if we lose Saturday we are 5th because we have the tiebreaker with UT.

I say cheer for whoever you want.

Damn that sucks. How about any effect on seeding/bracket sides that will make it easier to recoup money from ku/mu fans for the shitty upper level seats it appears KSU allotted me?

_FAN, please to a tourney seeding probability breakdown focused on how tickets are packaged together by session and selling/buying tickets on the secondary market. T-Y.

According to kenpom, it's nearly 50-50 on ISU or Baylor for the 3/4 seeds. If we match up with ISU and with KU in the same session Thursday afternoon, the tickets will be going for high $. If you want slightly cheaper tickets, pull for ISU to finish third.

root for isu i guess:

isu and mizzou thursday night should be a good thing for sellers (me). also gets us a chance for an old big 8 local semifinal of ksu vs ku and mizzou vs isu.

Baylor - poor coaching, great athletes top to bottom.

ISU - good coaching, less athletic depth. Would the 'Cats allow themselves to be beaten 3x by flood aggies?

Preference: Want to play ISU.

Losing to ISU a third time would be more meltdown worthy. Go Bears!
