Palm also puts a big emphasis on non conference SOS......he talks about it a lot

[CTWarrior]

Nobody can be perfect predicting this stuff, especially the last few at-larges, because the committees do not think the same way each year.  Lunardi, for example,  may get the last couple teams wrong because he is basing his projections on what the average committee has done in the past, but who can really predict how they are going to select the teams in any one year?  If the committee decides to think that our wins over Creighton and Xavier aren't real top 50 wins because those teams weren't really top 50 teams because of injuries at the time we played them, then we may move down the ladder.  I know traditionally committees haven't acted that way in the past, but especially the past few years it seems they include a team or two or exclude a team or two that surprises everyone. 

Don't get me wrong, I'm pretty confident we are in, but I'll always want one more win to be sure.

TCU vs KANSAS BIG FOR US

TCU vs KANSAS BIG FOR US

Define big. TCU is not getting an at large. Its big in the sense that it would make stealing a bid in the Big 12 a lot easier. But you don't have to worry about TCU making the tournament except as an auto-bid.

Ya A10, BIG, and American are the places that scare me
Rooting for all the #1 seeds

If they beat the Number 1 team?? I bet they show back up real quick in the at large discussion if they win right here.

Doubt it. 6-12 teams with 15 losses don't make the tournament.

Does look like they're gonna win though.

No they won't.

[Babybluejeans]

This stinks because it puts them only 2 games away from a bid theft. Though, we should always trust in Jamie Dixon losing in March.

This is going to get real dicey for MU is someone not named Baylor wins the B12 now, and if someone like IU or Iowa wins the B10.

Yeah like if West Virgina, #11 in the country wins the B12, MU is screwed

[PGsHeroes32]

Huh? ISU and WVU can both win it

[ChitownSpaceForRent]

TCU ain't winning the Big 12. Indiana is awful and Iowa is a one man team. Everything's fine.

[RJax55]

What? Iowa St and WVU are firmly in the tourney.

Stop hyperventilating.

I know, but I meant if one of the teams that is already in doesn't win it...like Texas Tech or something. Or if Cal wins the Pac. Anything can happen..

You mean like West Virginia or Iowa State?

There are three bid thieves in the Big 12. There are also three locks. My money is on one of the locks to win. But it certainly does warrant watching.

Well Texas Tech lost yesterday, so I wouldn't count on that one.

Sure, but it is not very likely. But, if you want to work yourself into a tizzy the next few days on Scoop, go for it.

Closer to 4 locks (think OK state is in) and 2 thieves, 1 of which is Texas (really bad). TCU is the only one to be concerned about IMO.

Kansas State

[Mr. Sand-Knit]

Really need baylor to beat KSU

[BM1090]

Really need baylor to beat KSU

No we don't. But it would be better than the alternative, I guess.

[KampusFoods]

Kansas State

you right. Although they could sneak in with a win over Baylor, regardless of big12 winning title.

[MUBigDance]

Hey, we just lost....no more games until we find out our status Sunday.

So I'm taking a breather and letting time tell me if I need to tense up for Sunday's announcement.

Feeling good about getting in. I do wonder about our seed...but even that I'm going to shelve until later Saturday.

Take it all in fellow scoopers...the whole regular season is over and we are a success in my book.
