i want to win tonight and I don't get any apprehension to play anybody. It's March. Bring your 'A' game or go home.
This is the bracket if Iowa State loses tonight:
This is the bracket if Iowa State wins tonight:
The game tonight is difference between second or fourth seed and a probable better seed in NCAA.So what seed will we be if we win tonight? 2?
I'm not sure how the 2 seed in the conference tournament is still in play. Assuming we win today, we'd be tied with OU at 12-6. Looking at Big 12 Tiebreaker rules in order:
1. Head to head: we split with them, so we're still tied.
2. Each teams' record against conference opponents, in order of standing: We both split with Kansas, so still tied. The next team is Baylor (because Baylor swept WVU even though both finished 11-7). OU split with Baylor but we were swept by Baylor. Therefore, OU is the 2 seed and we are the 3 seed.
So if we win we are the 3 seed, and if we lose Baylor gets the 3 seed and we are the 4 seed.
EDIT: I read the tiebreaker rules wrong. Because Baylor and WVU finished with the same record, we compare the pooled records against both teams. OU split with both (2-2) and we were swept by Baylor but swept WVU (2-2). So still tied there. The next team is Texas, who we both swept - still tied. The next team is OSU, who we both swept - still tied. The next team is KSU, who beat OU twice but split with us. Therefore ISU would get the two seed. So if we beat TCU we get the 2, if we lose we get the 4. No chance at the 3.
