OSU is in trouble

[garyeb2]

If OSU makes it in at 7-11, they should disband the selection committee and let ESPN pick who plays.

It would not surprise me if, due to the Marcus Smart hype, the committee looks at the three games he missed and just throws them out (even though they lost the previous four in a row with him).

This isn't true, both Palm and Lunardi have talked about the games missed before his return. The committee is a lot smarter than the average fan gives them credit for, they watch A TON of basketball and do mock brackets throughout the year (just did one two weeks ago).

It also doesn't solely depend on what OSU does, there are quite a few other teams on the bubble...Nebraska is a perfect case. Unimpressive non-conference, but has played really well in what is regarded one of the top 2 conferences in the nation.

I agree with this post!

Don't faint, Jeff.

Stop the presses!

I'll bet you my $200 against your $100 that OSU makes the tournament if they go finish 7-11 and made the finals of the conference tournament.

As awesome as the idea of placing bets with strangers on message boards sounds, I think I'll pass.

How about if that situation comes to pass, you just get to tell me "I told you so."

So we have a bet? I'll bet my 2k against your 1k.

I think it's simple, barring some miracle run in the Big 12 tournament.

If OSU finishes 8-10 (or 9-9 obviously), we're in; 7-11, we're out, regardless of what happens in the Big 12 tournament.

I think people way overvalue what happens in conference tournaments, unless there are literally two bubble teams playing each other with almost identical profiles, and both are on the "last four in/last four out" line.

We may end up getting that this year with OSU and Baylor, but generally I don't think the whole, "have to win x games in the conference tournament" ever seems to matter much, at least in terms of "in vs. out."

The vast majority of the time, teams in major conferences are either in or out before they get to conference tournament time.

i pretty much agree with the qualifier .. that osu can not lose to TCU (and maybe not tech) in the conf tourney ..

I'm not betting 1k. I'll bet $100 that osu doesn't make it if they are 7-11

I'll bet a $1000 that Vinnie and I will have a difference of opinion.

I'll bet $1000 that Vinnie starts at least 3 more Marcus Smart threads before the end of the regular season.

Well, he does flop like a fish and has both years at Osu. But you are correct.

If Marcus has offspring who wind up playing basketball, should we refer to them as the "Little Floppers?"
