Big-12 Conference Tourney Seeding...

[Pokevette]

Factoring in the results of last nights games and projecting home wins for all teams this weekend (with the exception of road wins for KU and KSU).

Looks like the Final Standings will be:

Big 12 Standings
1. Texas (13 - 3) Defeated Kansas based on head-to-head record.
2. Kansas (13 - 3) Lost to Texas based on head-to-head record.
3. Kansas State (10 - 6)
4. Oklahoma (9 - 7)
5. Texas A&M (8 - 8) Defeated Baylor and Texas Tech based on South Division record.
6. Texas Tech (8 - 8) With Baylor, lost to Texas A&M based on South Division record. Defeated Baylor based on South Division record.
7. Baylor (8 - 8) With Texas Tech, lost to Texas A&M based on South Division record. Lost to Texas Tech based on South Division record.
8. Oklahoma State (7 - 9) Defeated Nebraska based on head-to-head record.
9. Nebraska (7 - 9) Lost to Oklahoma State based on head-to-head record.
10. Missouri (6 - 10)
11. Iowa State (4 - 12)
12. Colorado (3 - 13)


That would make the Tourney seeding go like this:

#8 Oklahoma State vs #9 Nebraska winner vs #1 Texas.
#7 Baylor vs #10 Missouri winner vs #2 Kansas.
#6 Texas Tech vs #11 Iowa State winner vs #3 Kansas State.
#5 Texas A&M vs #12 Colorado winner vs #4 Oklahoma


From and NCAA perspective, I think that clearly makes the same six headed to the NCAA that have been projected for most the year:
* Texas, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Baylor, Texas A&M.

That probably means NIT bound teams are:
* Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, maybe Nebraska.

I can't believe we choked like that last night, especially with the race so tight in the middle of the Big 12.

I guess we would bump up to a 6-seed in the (unlikely) event we were to win in Austin.

One thing I hate about being an 8/9 seed is having to play in the first game of the tournament at 11:30am. That game is always the most sparsely attended one. We usually take off from here early in the morning and make it to the tournament late morning, not worrying if we're a little late to the first game (which we're not usually in).
