In front of about 6,000 people in their last home game of the year. Hope we don't have this low attendance for Bedlam.
 
Pretty rough turnout, I'd guess 7,000. But, 5-9 team + apathetic fanbase + 6:00 start, meaning a lot of OKC/Tulsa folks couldn't get off work in time = poor attendance.

For the final home game of the year?
 
They have to win the Big 12 tournament to make it.

If they beat OU Saturday, and win the first their first two games in the conference tournament (they'll be playing KU in the 2nd round) that would give them 21 wins, and their RPI is at 59 right now. That would probably get them in the high 40's I think. That would put them right on the edge.

I'm not predicting all of this to happen, but I think if they win Saturday and go on a little run, they'd make it without having to win the whole tournament.

Ummmmmm, no. 6-10 teams don't make the dance, sorry.

And that's assuming they find a way to win a road game.

They'd be 7-9, with a road win in Norman. And remember there's 4 (right?) new spots. 3 more wins (one being over Kansas) would put them in the conversation, I think. Probably being on the outside, but still an outside shot.

Yep, you're right, 7-9. I guess that does put them on the fringe.

Exactly. No bubble watch guru has them in with any other scenario besides winning the tourney.......
 
OSU could finish tied for sixth in conference with wins over several tourney teams

Where you finish is irrelevant. It's all about record, both in conference and overall, plus RPI and SOS.
 
I don't think they will get in the tourney, but I do believe they will beat us Saturday. Their size will really hurt us.
 
OSU this year is the perfect example of what a fine line it can be between making and not making the Tournament.

OSU just flat gave away three victories in conference: @Colorado, @Texas Tech and vs. Texas A&M at home.

If OSU can just manage to win one of those three games, then they're probably playing to get into the Tournament on Saturday.

If they win two of those three, they're probably already in the Tournament.

Oh well.

On the flip side, OSU's record could be even worse. They were really really lucky to win at home against Iowa State and Texas Tech. Let's face it, 6-9 is about right for this team. They are just not a very good.
