Ou needs to take care of business in this tourney and help the Big 12 keep the #1 spot until we get in con play.

Texas Tech beats undefeated Arkansas Little Rock today, which should bolster this ranking.

Now 5 undefeated teams left: Michigan State, OU, Xavier, SMU, and South Carolina.

South Carolina's schedule is horrific. They will play their second game away from home on January 5. They have played 5 games against RPI 221 or worse. OU's only played one game against teams with an RPI over 190 for comparison.

The other four teams are legit and should be contenders at the end of the year.

I believe SMU is banned from postseason play so they won't be there.

Quality road win for ISU over Cincy tonight. They controlled the game early and then lost the lead late but hit a big 3 for the lead with 11s. Cincy then missed 3 contested shots.

ISU looks the same as in the past and will be a tough game.

Iowa State got lucky. Cincy was crawling away with it and then made mistakes.

Maybe but they would beat Cincy on a neutral floor. Cincy was fortunate that ISU took themselves out of the lead.

agreed. it was obvious which team was better ... they just didnt play like it for 40 minutes.

Really hope the team gets to play in OKC in the first two rounds of tourney, all these types of things will influence seeding.
