To avoid OSU & Baylor first game of Big 12....

[IndySooner]

We win, Baylor loses and OSU wins. No matter what happens with WVU/KU, that's our route to playing WVU instead of Baylor and OSU.

Go Pokes and EMAW?

Eh. If we want to act like the 2nd best team in the Big 12, to me that means not running away from a tougher 1st round matchup.

We are better than all three teams (WVU, osu, and Baylor). I don't care who we get matched up against.

FYI to all those rooting for a WVU matchup because you're scared of "surging" Baylor and OSU: WVU is the only one of those teams to beat us! I believe any of these teams are going to be difficult to beat. This whole it's tough to beat a team 3 times in a season is a crock.

 

[ChongoChingi]

Just think of how much fun it will be to beat OSU three times this year. Maybe we can get them in the NCAA tournament to and beat them 4 times!

I don't care that we've beaten OSU and Baylor twice. And WVU only once. OSU and Baylor are loaded with talent and you should want to play the least talented team in tournaments. That's why you try to get the 2 seed. We're fans, and we should want the easiest road possible, which is WVU. Not saying they're a guaranteed win though. Saying we should want the tougher matchup just because we're a 2 seed is like saying you don't want the high seed in your bracket in the NCAA's to get upset because you don't want to "run away" from them. I want everyone ahead of OU to lose.

I want the easiest road possible for OU. It doesn't mean I don't think we're good. It just means I want OU to have the best chance to win.

I'm a fan. It doesn't matter what I want. We are going to play whoever we play and it doesn't matter how hard I wish for it to be one team or another. I think it would be awesome to beat the snot out of OSU again! I can't stand Travis Ford or the Flop King.

The only way we have an easy road is if TCU gets a win in the first round. We don't play in the MVC or SEC; we play in the Big 12. This league is a meat grinder and there a few games which will come easy. Also, I'm not convinced that WVU will be easier than Baylor or OSU.

Outside the 1-8 game (can't see KU losing in KC), it is very conceivable that the lower seed wins every first round game. Big XII is tough.

WVU played us closer at home than OSU or Baylor, and beat us on the road, which neither OSU nor Baylor did.
And I think WVU has the best player among those three teams.

No matter who we play in the quarterfinals, it won't be easy.

And we have to beat TCU first.
Otherwise we'll end up playing Iowa State.

I posted this as a conversation starter. Personally, I'd like to play OSU again.

Also, I think we match up better with Baylor and OSU than we do WVU.

I go with this thinking as far as the NCAA tourney goes but I could care less in the Big 12. We play OState again, so what? Bring it. I love our chances.

I'd also add that IMO, they're the only team that doesn't present a substantial coaching mis-match in favor of OU.

OU beat OSU in Stillwater by 3 without Smart. I think with Smart OSU is the best of those three teams. I think we'll see Bedlam round three for sure.

and we beat you by 12 in norman with smart

Don't forget lil Stevie!

 

[Kewllane]

It just appears to me that OSU and Baylor are playing a lot better than they were playing when we played them earlier this year. Plus they have to play well to make sure they get into the tournament. Desperate teams are dangerous teams.

But I hope you guys are right and if we play OSU again, I hope we beat them. I'm just not near as confident about it as most of you appear to be.

 

[Cleavon Little]

Also keep in mind that we will essentially be playing for seeding in the big dance, but any of those three need every win they can get.

And it wasn't that close.

Hahahaha... Soooo we won by less on the road than at home?? You don't say.... We will own osu with or without smart.. We're OU, Beating osu is just something we do

 

[stoopified]

Personally I would love to play Baylor or oSu in KC,the teams I don't want to play in KC are KU and KSU.
