KSU or OSU?

Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the #2 and the #3 seeds will be on the opposite side of the bracket from the #1 seeded KU. If that is not the case, I definitely see your point.

The 2 and 3 seed are on the same side of the bracket. Because if the top 4 seeds advance to the final 4 of the big 12 tourney it would be 1 vs. 4 and 2 vs. 3.

If OU is the 3 seed they are locked into playing the 6 seed; if OU is the 2 seed they would play the winner of the 7 seed vs TCU (10 seed).

Depending on how the last couple of games go, OSU, Baylor, Texas Tech and West Virginia are playing for the 6th thru 9 seeds in the tourney. So its hard to say if OU would benefit more from being the 2 or the 3 seed. I just hope to avoid OSU because they would be harder to beat 3 times in a row than Baylor IMO.

My expectations off the cuff:

OU: Win vs WVU, win at TCU / finish 12-6
ISU: Win at BU, win vs OSU / finish 12-6
UT: Win vs TCU, win @ tech / finish 12-6
KSU: Loss at OSU, win vs BU / finish 11-7

The best thing for us is to win out, and hope ISU loses in Waco or vs OSU. I don't know who wins the 3-way tie if it's OU-UT-ISU, and I'd rather not have to find out.

It's been stated multiple times, but the only team that we do not have the tiebreaker against is KSU. We own the tiebreaker against Texas and ISU. We split with ISU and KSU and thus it would come down to better defeats from #1 in conference and on down. Therefore, if we are tied to KSU we lose out because of their win against KU; and if it's ISU we own the tiebreaker because of our sweep of Texas and their split with them.

We've got the tie breaker against them IF Texas is tied with them as well. It's the only way we can use the sweep of the 'horns to help our cause. If it's OU/ISU/KSU in a 3 way tie for 2nd, it goes to KSU.

Hold your nose & say hook 'em 'horns for a couple of games because it's the only way to get that 2 spot.

I am not cheering for Texas. No way.

But, I do not think we need to worry about it b/c I think KSU will drop the game in Stillwater. It would be a huge win for them if they could get it. Their Big 12 road record is REALLY bad. They struggle away from Manhattan.
