With two top 50 RPI teams coming up and the potential to face as many as three more in the Big 12 tourney, we've got a huge opportunity ahead to break into the top 4 seeds.

Feels good not to worry about anything but seeding at this point. A strong finish should put us in good shape to get a favorable first round draw.

Win the three regular season games on our schedule and I don't think the conference tourney games will matter.

Thanks for posting, pnkranger!

I agree with this. If we win the last 3 games, then I don't think the conference tournament can do anything but help. But if we make a run in the conference tournament, we could jump up a seed. I think if we win out, we'll be a 5 seed, and if we win 2 in the conference tournament we'll probably jump up to a 4 seed. But winning two in the tournament will mean making it to the championship. So I'm thinking we'll be a 5 seed. 6 at the worst unless we lose one of these last 3. Hopefully we don't.

A 4 seed is probably our ceiling, will probably land in the 5-6 range. Lots of "quality wins" but nothing signature, a win at KU or early against MSU are the types you need for someone in our position.

Yeah, I'm not even sure that winning out and winning the conference tournament would get us any higher than a 4 seed. But a 4 seed for this team would be incredible considering what we thought before the season. I'm still really impressed with a 5 or 6 seed if we get that.

Who knows, maybe we get on a roll, finish some games, and get a "third times the charm" game against KU...

If we win out, and win the conference tournament, and beat KU in the procees we might be able to sneak on the 3 line with our conference RPI.
