BU KU

[CycloneRulzzz]

If we win, the most likely scenario is a 4 seed with KSU the 5 seed. If we lose, the most likely scenario is a 5 seed with KSU the 4 seed. Either way, we'll likely be playing KSU in the quarterfinals with the winner getting Oklahoma in the semis.

The Kansas game may do little more than determine whether we get a first round bye or play Colorado.

Colorado might as well be a bye, and last year playing CU, then KSU worked out well for us last year.

We really really need OSU to beat A&M tonight. That would give us the #3. Then if A&M can turn around and beat BU on Saturday - #2 baby!! We needed KU to beat BU last night for this to happen and it did!!! Hopefully the starts will align.

All of this assumes we beat Kansas, not even remotely a certainty the way they're playing.

If A&M loses to OSU tomorrow:

an A&M win over Baylor makes a three-way tie among ISU, A&M, and Baylor, and we get the 2 seed--
2. Iowa State (11 - 5) Defeated Texas A&M based on head-to-head record.
3. Texas A&M (11 - 5) Defeated Baylor based on record against #1 South Division teams. Lost to Iowa State based on head-to-head record.
4. Baylor (11 - 5) Lost to Texas A&M based on record against #1 South Division teams.

an A&M loss to Baylor makes Baylor 12-4 and we get the three seed--
2. Baylor (12 - 4)
3. Iowa State (11 - 5)
4. Texas A&M (10 - 6)

If A&M beats OSU tomorrow:

A Baylor win over A&M puts us in a tie with A&M, which we win for the three seed--
2. Baylor (12 - 4)
3. Iowa State (11 - 5) Defeated Texas A&M based on head-to-head record.
4. Texas A&M (11 - 5) Lost to Iowa State based on head-to-head record.

An A&M win over Baylor puts us in a tie with Baylor, which we lose for the four seed--
2. Texas A&M (12 - 4)
3. Baylor (11 - 5) Defeated Iowa State based on head-to-head record.
4. Iowa State (11 - 5) Lost to Baylor based on head-to-head record.

If I was a betting man, I would say we end up with a 3 seed. AM beats OSU at their last home game, BU beats AM their last home game, and ISU gets a revenge victory over KU on senior night. KU is hot, but I just don't see our seniors losing on senior night. The scary thing is as a 3seed, we would get Texas as a 6 seed based on my projections with the tourney generator.

BU beats AM their last home game,

i just don't know. BU looks ridiculously beatable right now....

I'm sure that Bill, staff and team are focused on a scary KU team right now. But, looking ahead, a four seed might be better for us. If we play OU during the semi-final round, with two other teams still playing, the crowd will be more diverse and there should be a little less of an OU home atmosphere. The other fans might even support ISU. I'm thinking Bill thinks we can beat OU with just a little help.

OSU @ aTm live on FSN North Minnesota right now

We really really need OSU to beat A&M tonight.

This doesn't look very likely now. A&M up 27 to 9 with 9 minutes left in the first.:no:

 

[MidwestZest]

Just got on here to post that rhillary :yes:
Looks like we will be cheering hard for BU sat

EDIT:

Looks like we will be cheering hard for ISU sat, and hoping that BU wins as well....

I hope they don't end up the 5 seed I'd love to see them as the 3 seed
