If only the ball was oblong: Big 12 bids over/under

[catzacker]

I will set it at 3.  Please describe your thoughts on how many bids the big 12 will get for the NCAA toyrnament.  Thank you.

4-5. UT doesn't look like they're going to be a tournament team even with Kabongo.  ISU & KSU haven't shown anything yet when given the chance.  OU & WVU will beat people in the league but have sucked in the non-con.  Speaking of which DYK OU has already beaten WVU this season?  They played in the Old Spice.  OU got beat by Gonzaga in that tournament by 30 two weeks after Gonzaga beat WVU by 30.

we'll get 5, in this order --->  KU, Baylor, OSU, KSU, OU

the big12 only getting three in would be ridiculous. they'll get more.

[catzacker]

the Pac-12/10 got 4 last year and 2 in '10.  I think the Big 12 is on a similar path. It's just garbage.

i'll be really, really surprised if some teams don't step up and the big12 only gets 3.

that's what I don't know.  I’d like to say Baylor, then it’s a matter of how you value Kansas State.  That’s why I set it at 3.

baylor and KSU has too much talent not to make the NCAAs, of course that talent is negated by Drew/oscar, but i believe that they will get done what needs to be done to earn a spot. 

i went out on a limb with OU but hey, i'm a wild and crazy guy, what can i say?

No where near that bad, like not even close.  Washington was the best team in the league those two years, think about that.  As long as Kansas is good the conference will somewhat get the benefit of the doubt.

ISU is better than OU.  Will Cluburn and Korie Lucious may both make first team all conference.  They aren't deep at all but their starting five is at worst fourth best in the conference.

No win over KU = no bid

i'm probably sleeping on ISU too much, haven't even seen them play yet.  obviously depth is hugely important in conference play and without it, i have a hard time seeing them better than OU.

I think KU gets the benefit of the doubt (UT would to, but is probably losing its credibility).  I’m not sure about the rest of the conference though.  Our conference RPI is just awful.  IMO, we’re going to have a ton of teams that are bubblicious – and if that’s the case, a committee will have no problem keeping/deciding that ISU, OU, and KSU (or some combination thereof) out of the Tournament. 

[Stevesie60]

KU will get a 1 seed because they'll only lose 1 game in conference play.

6th, although we're likely to finish 5th, isn't horrible.  The Pac 10/12 finished with RPIs of 9 and 7 those years you mentioned.

Another night, another bad Big 12 loss.  Tonight Flood Aggy lost to Iowa.  Cy got rolled in the second half, they were never in it.  Time is running out on this conference to move into the top five of the rpi.

NOPE!

SD are your feelings towards ISU hoops similar of those you feel towards ISU f-ball?

what a god-awful game - score seemed misleading to me.  ISU seemed to give zero shits that they were continuing to embarrass the b12 (not shocking, but they usually at least try hard before tripping over their shoelaces and breaking their rec-specs)

look, the league just isn't that fun anymore.  why should they care?
