Baylor knocks off KU

[AdaSooner]

Who whudda thunk it? The Bears beat KU 81-58.

Does that get Baylor into the dance? Are we competing with them for a spot in the tourney now?

I think the short answer is yes.

They "might" need one more win in KC to put themselves on the bubble.

Geez.

And I thought it was raining around here. Poor Chicken and Kitty fans.

Geez.

Exactly what I was thinking. We're not out, by any means. But I do believe that we might have to win our first game in the conference tourney to get in now. Not a good outcome for a team that was in the driver's seat before the day began.

Stomped 'em!

Kansas .... 58
Baylor ...... 81

We beat them twice including at their place - also finished 2 games ahead of them in the conference standings. Not sure how they're ahead of us when it comes time to match up potential bubble teams.

I think Baylor will still have to beat OSU. If they do that I suspect they are in and our chances go down a little if we lose to ISU. I do not think Baylor is in right now though.

They finished what? 8-9 in the conference? So, no we aren't competing with them for a tourney spot. It would be the so-so teams from the other conferences. Alabama, Ole Miss, somebody from the Big East.

Even if we lose to Iowa State, how exactly are we competing with Baylor for a tourney spot? We had a better conference and overall record than Baylor and we swept them. How could they possibly get in over us without winning the conference tournament?

They couldn't. People are overreacting. On a message board? No way.

We are in the tourney. Regardless of outcome against ISU. Period. Baylor has to win Big 12 tourney to get in. Good victory today though. Surprising too; they'd been flailing lately.
