OSU beats TCU. I know it's TCU but I think OSU will not be a pushover this year.
I almost feel bad for TCU. In March 2020 they were 2nd in the Big 12 and all set to make the NCAA tournament for the 1st time in 10 years. Since then they've finished 8th and 10th in the conference and it looks like they're going to finish 10th again.

Tech beat K-State 85-65 in Manhattan.

Scott (37) and Shavers (26) combined for 63 points for Tech.

Polls should be interesting for Big 12 teams. Thinking ISU and Baylor fall 4 or 5 spots. Kansas should drop out. Sooners maybe move up a spot or two.

NCAA NET moved Texas up 4 to #10, keep in mind they are not even ranked so poll voters will probably still beat on us for the Top 25. ISU only dropped two in NET to #14. Probably going to take a while for the NET to score the without Soares team.

Which poll or ranking decides the top 16 teams that get the first round at home?

ISU did drop. Baylor and KU out. UT at 25. ISU ranked too high.

I think #18 for us is about right. We have the talent to be #18. Will need to win the next two at home to "prove" we are high teens. Lose either and we drop into the 20's. Even without Soares losing either of the next two is something that just shouldn't happen playing at home.

Quite a jump for Texas, going from zero votes to 62 votes. It was just stupid that they were getting ZERO before.

Weird that Texas can crush us but struggle against Tech a team we destroy on a constant basis.
It's always a matchup issue against them. Our style is not conducive to beating Texas. Physical teams have always bothered us. It is so strange though how plenty of teams we are better than can play with Texas and even beat them. We just can't seem to do it.
