OU a 3 seed vs Georgia State.

Tulsa in as an 11 seed vs Georgetown.

Texas out, and has 6 other teams also out ahead of them.

Obviously no guarantees, but a win at ISU and the first round of the Big XII tournament pretty much locks up a 3-seed in my mind.

Tie for regular season champion OR win tourney champion - 3 seed

Go 1-1 and win @ one or two games in tourney - 3 seed

Go 0-3 - 4 seed, maybe 5

Win out - 2 seed

This could actually help OU tonight. If texas comes out swinging and beats Baylor, that SHOULD eliminate the tie breaker that goes to kansas if we win out.

Win out - 2 seed

Eh...not sold on that. A lot else has to happen around CBB for that to happen, IMO.

In the history of the tournament, when has the regular season winner and tournament winner of the highest rated conference in the country been seeded below a 2 seed? I would be never...

Not to play devil's advocate, but when has that team ever had 8 losses?

 

[pnkranger]

Last year's two seeds had 4, 7, 8, and 9 losses entering the tournament.

i dont think we can get to a 2 seed

Body of work. If Gonzaga, UA, Wisconsin, etc all win out...that has more bearing on whether OU can get to a 2 seed than what conference OU plays in.

 

[BoomSoon]

Yes, if we win out, we are a 2 seed.

We are already No. 9 on S curve with Lunardi. Winning out would mean at least four wins over ranked teams, you would have to assume. At least Kansas would fall below us to make room on second line.

It's a LONG WAYS away, but yes, winning out through conference tournament and a No. 2 is there.

I completely agree that we would, in any other year, get a 2 seed but the only issue is whose place do we take? Wisconscin? Dream on. Gonzaga? Locked in. Arizona? They're closer to a 1 seed then a 3. Kansas would be the only one. So if we were to do it we would have to run the table and be the one that beats KU in the big 12 tourney...the ONLY possible scenario that I could see playing out.

Yep...in order to get a 2 seed, we would need to win out and get a lot of help (one of Wisconsin, Gonzaga, Arizona would need to lose multiple times). Probably a slim to no chance of that happening.

 

[BoomSoon]

Kansas is actually No. 8 on the S curve. We would jump them.

Kentucky
Virginia
Duke
Villanova
Wisconsin
Arizona
Probably won't get them.

With a loss in conference tournament, Gonzaga is possible.

If we win out, we will pass Kansas for a No. 2.

Again, big IF, but fun to be talking about it.

However, tonight is going to be very, very tough.

As has been the case all this season, our team is most undervalued by its own fans.

If we win out, (likely including TWO wins over Kansas) we'll be a two-seed and it won't be close.

 

[campbest]

Notre Dame has the best chance to jump to the 2 line, IMO.

I don't think this team has the juevos to beat ISU on the road, KU in Norman, and likely some combination of two of Baylor/ISU/KU in KC.

Hope they prove me wrong.

I agree with this and, like you, know that we are still capable so will watch with some optimism.

That's gonna take some stones we haven't seen since the denim shirt left the building

First - I'd be MORE than happy to eat a huge plate of crow if they actually won out conference and the conference tourney. That said ... not gonna happen.

Second - I dont undervalue this team. I am realistic.

Last - win out or not they are NOT going to be a two seed. period.
