Selection Show - OU an 8 seed

[thebigabd]

Colorado loses their final game to a terrible Oregon State team and gets rewarded with a 5 seed. I guess the lesson is to play in the Pac 12? But they get stuck with Georgetown, so I don't expect them to stick around.

Colorado made it to their conference championship game... They didn't only beat a 2 win ISU team the entire last month of the season.

 

[WTSooner]

OU the 32 overall seed which makes us the LAST 8 seed. So closer to a 9 than a 7.

 

[soonerbms]

I'll go a step further.

You have to go back to January 30th to find OU's second most recent win against a team not named ISU.

Is this true? If so, **** everyone associated with this team.

 

[AdaSooner]

Yeah that one loss definitely stings but it doesn’t wipe the top 15 wins we have. Teams like usc and UCLA don’t even have any top 25 wins.

Problem is, we finished seventh in our conference and lost five of our last six games. Not a good way to finish what was once a promising season.

 

[TINY]

OU earned that seed by losing 5 out of 6. The only team we’ve beaten in the last month is Iowa state. We earned this fate.

Well we have played like 4 top 15 teams during that stretch. Meanwhile usc plays a bunch of bums all year and they get a much better seed. It isn’t healthy for the sport to reward weak ass schedules.

Pathetic but not unexpected after our complete meltdown the last month

Our last 5 wins starting with most recent:

Iowa st
Iowa st
WV
Iowa st
Bama

Gibson leaves NT for OU, and according to seeds, literally only moved up about 9 or 14 seed places. lol

NT probably has the better chance of winning two games too. Sad though.

 

[WTSooner]

Our last 5 wins starting with most recent:

Iowa st
Iowa st
WV
Iowa st
Bama

Yes. And we played Bama on January 30th.

 

[WichitaSooner]

Sadly there are plenty of people on this board who feel this way probably. Absolute collapse down the stretch. We very well could get villanovaed again if we are lucky enough to win the 1st one.

Nothing like a straw man argument.

Hahaha.... so 3 of the last 5 wins were against a 2 win ISU team, lol.

I’ll take that as a compliment to ou that he thinks we beat Missouri. That’s a 50-50 game.

Just looking at the stats... they are a middle of the road SEC team in every sense of the word... Which, I guess is why they are a 9 seed. They don't shoot very well, but they are big and athletic. The guards don't shoot that great but are quick and athletic.

 

[BoulderSooner]

That is 7 of the last 8 ncaas for OU. (Would be 8 of 9 last year canx).

Only one other big 12 teams has matched that

Perspective.

(And that other team has cheated their asses off for the past ~60 years.)

 

[inoref]

Doesn't really matter where or who...got to win or go home

 

[jmizzy4ou]

Geeze, some of the comments..... Everyone is back to 0-0. May as well show up and play the game.

 

[NickZepp]

Glad we made it after losing all those close games. If we won even 3 of those games we probably get a solid 5 seed or so.

 

[OUSKINS]

At this point, for me, it’s time to enjoy the week. We can beat Mizzou. It’s probably a 50/50 type game. If we do, then you get a shot to make a little history and leave a huge mark on this Tournament. Would I like our chances? Uh, no. But it would be fun.
