    **** WBB: Cyclones host Texas Tech - Gamethread - 6:30 pm ESPN+ ****

    I see the 3-point record as similar to the Cubs record of most consecutive games with at least one hit (1965 to 2015). I mean, it's not a bad thing getting a hit in every game.

    ***Official where is Matt Campbell interviewing thread***

    2024-2025 MBB computer projections thread

    Arizona State Matchup

    Sagarin predictor: ISU -1 Massey: ISU -7 (ASU is ranked only 35th in Massey's power rankings) Team Rankings: ASU -2 Dolphin: ISU -3 Etcetera. Many other computer rankings out there, but the mild consensus is that ISU is a slight favorite.

    2024 Big 12 Championship Game Projections

    Doing it by hand at 12:30p with the in-game Vegas odds, about 91 percent chance ISU makes the Big 12 Championship, contingent on beating KSU. BYU's doing most of that work, though.

    Double-checking it by hand, I believe that site has mistaken logic in some scenarios with an ISU/ASU/Colorado tie. mred's logic is correct.

    Close, but I think it's: Win AND a win from BYU or WVU or Oklahoma State or Arizona or both Cincy and Baylor

    2024 Big 12 Championship Game Projections

    At least from what I saw, the conference announced that in a four-way tie, ASU and ISU would be the two that were in. But in this particular three-way tie, that doesn't seem to be the case.

    Won't update my model until tomorrow sometime, but I went through mred's generator throughly, and I'm pretty confident this is the only scenario where ISU wins and doesn't get to the title game: Colorado over OSU; and ASU over Arizona; and Houston over BYU; and Texas Tech over West Virginia...
