current bracketology OU still IN

[stormspencer]

Updated last night/this morning.....we are a 10 and likely closer to a 9 than an 11.

Getting to the 7 line would be nice. Would really like to avoid the 8/9.

I'm not any more afraid of 1 seeds this year than I am of 2 seeds. Its all basically a wash at the top.

Last 9 seed according to bracket matrix. in all but 1 bracket. That 1 bracket is 125 out of 133 over the last 5 years on bracket matrix so he's not very good at this.

That bracket done by RTS is absolutely laughable. We are a solid 9 seed right now.

Probably true, especially since we would not have to play Kansas in round 2.

Statistically it matters. 10 seeds are more likely to make the 2nd weekend than 8 or 9 seeds, at least historically.

one scenario you all haven't discussed. win last two AND Big 12 Tourney. I think we'd squeeze up to the 5 line with our strength of schedule and strength of Big 12, especially considering we would end the season 7-0 in our last 7

I can dream!

That would be nice! I'm realistically hoping for a 7 seed. I think it will take 3 more wins to get it.

WVU should start feeling nervous. Looks like they’ll finish conference below .500. What a slide.

Right? I can't fathom how they stayed in the top 20 as long as they did.

They're still 20 spots ahead of us in the NET rankings.

Their collapse down the stretch is much akin to ours in 2018, but they will still likely end up as a 9 or 10 seed even if they lose out because of their strong non-con wins.

Still weird they've remained ranked. We were 4th in the nation on 1/20/18 and unranked by 2/19/18.

Agree. Right or wrong, the metrics love them, and they aren't going to fall out of the field. Obviously their seed is dropping like a lead balloon and will continue to do so if they keep losing, but they aren't in jeopardy of being left home.

Id rather be a 10/11/12 rather than an 8/9.

Lets in 2 regular season and 1 in the tourney at least and get a 7

Slipped back down to a 10 tonight.

But let's say we end up as an 8 or 9. We only have 2 possible landing spots: in spokane with a matchup against the Zags in round 2 (yikes), or in cleveland against Dayton in round 2.

OU has a punchers chance at the S16 if they end up in the latter scenario imo. Just have to win a coin flip game in Rd 1, then pull off a slightly big upset (but not really) against the Flyers, who will have all the pressure of presumably their first #1 seed in program history.

Give me the 10 over the 8/9 Please
