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?

1 in 100 chance.

1 in a million if we don't get the 6 seed

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.

I'd put the odds right around 1/10 of us winning the Big 12 tournament.

Cartierfor3 · « **Reply #13 on:** March 06, 2015, 11:11:45 AM »

I wouldn't pick the Cats in any game except against Tech/TCU

Remember when everyone was all "oh if we beat Baylor, and Florida State loses, and Iowa State beats TCU, and blah blah blah then we'll make the College Football Playoff!"

That was less delusional than us winning the Big XII tourney

420seriouscat69 · « **Reply #17 on:** March 06, 2015, 11:18:33 AM »

This is our postseason. I'm going to enjoy the crap out of it!

Our chances of winning the Big 12 tourney are about 10x better than the Royals chances of making the playoffs were last July.

not really at all

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%

http://www.teamrankings.com/ncb/conference-tournaments/big-12-bracket/

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%

http://mlb.mlb.com/mlb/standings/probability.jsp?ymd=20140928

So, KSU's chances of winning the Big 12 Tournament are about 10x worse than the Royals' chances to make the playoffs.
