2022 Big 12 Tournament Thread

[WBT 20963]

So TCU tomorrow at 4.  That should help our RPI.

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

Oregon also lost today in the Pac 12. That's a more important result than Auburn. 

If they go 0-2 in the Pac 12 tournament it would help a lot.

Oregon going 0-2 and Georgia Southern failing to make the conference championship game in the Sun Belt would be massive.

Win 2 more games this weekend and I think a regional host is close to a lock regardless of what happens. Take care of business and nothing to worry about.

The committee sending us out to the site of any top 12 seed would be horse shit. Also, I don't care that they love the rivalry angle with us and A&M, a borderline national seed and team who is on the verge of hosting should never be paired with each other.

Hence why if we end up a 2 seed, I want us in south bend and paired up with college station. We’d own that shit

Through two innings Tech has three runs and K-State has three errors.

I’m not totally down with joining the sec. the baseball is going to be fantastic. Road trips. Helmet matchups in football. Brining back the arky rivalry. But god I’m not in the mood to deal with aggy and lsu and the Georgia trash I encountered at the sugar bowl and the backwoods mouth breathers we’re hosting in September. But god dammit getting away from k state will be worth it. The number of shit they’ve fucked up for us ‘03 is long and distinguished, like my Johnson

5-3 Tech in the 7th

[Bevo&Pevo 5515]

Listened to our boys play this morning on my way to S Texas.  It sounded like a great game.  Mucho happy for Pete.  From the 7th on, the game really went into "kiss my ass okie lite mode".   See you mofos tomorrow around 4.  TEXAS!

[utee94 16079]

Going to be fun beating the cockroaches again tomorrow.

[Hookem2147 22008]

Bama currently beating Arkansas 4-3 in the 7th. Arkansas losing this game probably ends their regional hosting hopes, especially with an RPI of 34.

[Valmy77 13610]

Tech beats K-State 5-3.

Excellent. More failure for the not-in-Omahogs.

K state in February!

There are like 7 or 8 K-States on the SEC. Expect no relief. Freaking Kentucky or South Carolina or Ole Miss or any of those bitches can ruin your season at any time if you don't bring your A game.

[Hookem2147 22008]

Bye Arkansas. Back your bags for a regional next week

Fine yeah whatever I’m just sick of them. They’re a pain in the ass

WV and OUsux tied at 0 in the 2nd inning.

I didn't realize that Cornelio moved back to the 3rd spot in the TCU rotation. He looked pretty good against us on Friday night in Austin. Assuming we will see Marcelo Perez tomorrow. 

Yes, Perez will be starting tomorrow.

After that, they then took 2/3 from TCU, WV, KSU and Tech + a midweek non-conf game versus Tech + won a game versus OSU.  Two of those series were on the road (FW and Lubbuttock)

[TenaciousTgarden 14]

I am too lazy to search this thread and too dumb to find what I'm looking for so far.  Are all tickets for the Big 12 tourney GA? We are considering a drive up this weekend if Texas advances (no jinx no jinx), and want to figure out if I can just buy tickets day of if that happens.

Yep, everything is GA.

OU won 6-4 over WV last night btw.

Oklahoma State to play Baylor in an elimination game starting in a few minutes.

[NorthLoop 14457]

Baylor shitting the bed early.

OSU now up 4-1 after a three run homer in the 3rd.

[tejas60 3554]

[Hookem2147 22008]

Babe Ruth homers for OSU. 4-1 Pokes.

[Valmy77 13610]

6-1 Oklahoma State going to the 5th.

[tejas60 3554]

down 5 and steal attempt?

[Sir Ulrich 5337]

Still like our chances vs TCU but the cakewalk that would have been a Baylor matchup would have been money. Here's to hoping Baylor can make the OSU staff work hard here in the last 3 innings. 

[Rickylovesweed 15437]

It’s better that Texas is playing TCU. 

Baylor does nothing for our RPI and if Texas somehow lost it would hurt. Quality wins is what Texas needs.

The wins part is key though. I would rather have a win over Baylor than a quality loss.

[Valmy77 13610]

Anyway OSU up 8-1 on Baylor after 6. I know OSU's bullpen has struggled but not that much.

That doesn’t necessarily help your RPI. Baylor sucks. Their RPI was in the 80s last I looked. 

Beating them does very little for Texas other than making it easier to get to the winner’s bracket. I find it very unlikely Texas doesn’t get a regional if they finish top 15 in RPI.

Well we are going to potentially have wins over OSU and TCU. Not every team we play in the tournament has to be top 50 right?

It’s better for RPI playing quality teams. 

If Texas plays 4 games this weekend against TCU and Oklahoma State 2-2 might get the job done because that’s going to still really help our RPI.

Maybe. Losing to Oklahoma State destroyed us last time. I am not totally confident taking two Ls is not going to wreck us. Taking one in the title game might be fine though.

[tejas60 3554]

and baylor 10 run ruled...

[TrashMaster G 18068]

Buh-bye, Bears.

[Valmy77 13610]

OSU just run-ruled Baylor 11-1 so we will get that quality opponent.

Saved their pitching and everything. Great win for them.

No so great for us. Though a Baylor loss is always good for goodness and justice.

Because Texas lost 3 games at home. 

On a neutral field, these games now have more value against quality opponents. 

The issue for Texas coming into this weekend wasn’t wins it was that they were sitting outside the top 20 of RPI. The committee isn’t going to exclude Texas from hosting if they finish 12-14 in RRI.
