New Polls

#3? I thought the sky was falling and we were missing the tournament?
 
I'm shocked. I thought we'd switch positions with sqwacks. Doesn't matter if we don't win the rest of the games. Polls today mean actually nothing just like when we were #1.

We did.

1) Nova
2) KU
3) OU
4) Iowa/UNC
 
The Sooners held their position. No. 3 in both polls.

Should keep us in good shape for a possible 1-seed.

That is my main concern....staying a 1-seed. I could see this playing out several different ways:
  • splitting the WV/UT games and winning the remaining games
or
  • losing both the WV/UT games, but winning the Big 12 tournament.

With either of the above scenarios, we would be a lock for a #1 seed, but otherwise, it will be a crapshoot with other teams' results playing a determinant in our seeding (either 1 or 2).
 
The most important game on the schedule right now is the road game Wednesday night at Texas Tech. Lose that one, and OU could be facing a 3-game losing streak. THAT, would kick OU's rankings/ratings in the tail.

Tubby Smith is getting his guys ready. The Red Raiders are really improving, and are playing their best right now.

Indeed. I just can't see TT winning three big games in a row even if two of them are at home. They will be fired up and confident, but OUr shooting woes will end Wednesday night along with TT's fairy tale chance of making the dance.

Totally agree. Wed's night game is far from a gimmee. They have been playing very well and won at Baylor on Sat. If we don't play well, we will be flirting with a loss. The good thing is, I know coach Kruger and the team realizes this. At least I hope they do.
 
Holy crap...

I really expected us to drop..to at least 6th.or so. I expected Xavier to jump up and Iowa.

With everyone else losing as well...guess it's normal.

IF we can sweep ut. wv and bu...that will go well. Big IF's.

Yes, TT is next. Tubby getting his boys playing well. I guess the "good" is, as bad as OU shot the ball, def lapses, had a chance to beat the #2 team in the country after being down 16.

I still HATE the lose to frickin jacks.

This past week, Iowa lost to unranked Indiana, and Xavier got smacked by unranked Creighton (a team we beat fairly handily btw)

Why do you think would they jump us, exactly?

Xavier has 3 losses (that one being included) we lost to an unranked ksu, who just lost to osu.

Iowa..about even.

Honestly really didn't "think" about it much just figured we'd at least switch with ku.

LOL, it's really not a big deal..just my 2 cents..call me out on it if ya feel the need. It's not like I thought we'd drop out of the top 10~ :facepalm

This team will be ready. I really feel if Woodard gets out of his funk the win out.
 
And we are behind Nova although we KILLED them Ina neutral floor lol

Xavier's SOS is 63rd in the nation, ours is 6th. So that might explain why they only have 3 losses to our 4.

Iowa's is 33rd.

Also, we have 9 top-100 RPI wins, Iowa and Xavier have 6 a piece.

Also, we were ranked higher than both of them last week, lost to the #2 team in the country. They were ranked below us, and lost to 2 unranked scrub teams.

Not calling you out, it just made zero sense as to why anyone would think that, so I wanted to see your reasoning behind it. Otherwise, I assumed it was the "sky is falling" mentality that so many around here seem to love so much

nope...I could care less where OU is ranked right now. Obviously getting a 1 seed would be great, except all the pressure. I'd rather be ranked 1 at the end. To be honest, the folks ranking them are actually looking like they know what they are doing. Much more than in the past. Usually it's a merry-go-round due to whoever won last.
