Of the likely opponents, who would you like to draw in the 1st round of the Big 12 tournament?
 
Are there really options? It seems to me OU will be playing OSU or CU, with OSU being most likely. Texas has the tie breaker with OSU.

I honestly don't think either is particularly appealing. I would just as soon OU play KU in the first round (obiously not possible) lose and have the season end. Losing one last time to an average team doesn't seem all that exciting to me.

Boo-hoo.
 
Do you actually believe OU will win away from Norman against OSU or CU? I want OU to win if they play but I haven't seen anything this season to suggest OU can win away from Norman against either of those teams. OSU might beat OU by 15 points.
 
Not saying we're a lock to win, but it is a neutral court. What happened against OSU last year in the tourney? They were on the outside looking in until that victory.

We're 1-1 against OSU and lost at CU...which happened to also give K-State and KU all they wanted in Boulder as well. Give me CU, would love a rematch with them in KC (gym maybe empty though). Feel a lot better about that match up than vs. OSU.

Not to split hairs, but I think OSU was actually solidly in the Tournament even before that game. We had finished 9-7 in the Big 12 and our RPI was in the low 20s.

Remember that last year's bubble was very weak, and we made it into the Tournament as a #8 seed.

Had we lost to OU in that game, we would have likely just slid down to a #9 or #10 seed.
