I think if you guys keep pace at .500 in league play, you’re in.

Gonna be tough. Two against Tech, one against WVU are the only “should wins” left on the schedule. Need to win all three and get another upset for .500. I think we could get in at 8-10 but it’ll be a tough argument.

Crazy conference. If we lose, it’s 3 teams at 7-3 and then 3 more at 6-4. If we win, it will be 4 teams at 6-4 behind us and isu. 

And if KSU wins OSU will be 7th place but only two games back. We don’t have any realistic chance to close that gap but a crazy stat.

[Al_4_ISU 12464]

KSU/UT has been a great game so far.  Need the KSU W but very impressed with UT’s performance in the Octagon.

[Rickylovesweed 14482]

OU looks like they've quit on the season. 

[Hookem2147 21338]

I’ve believed that Porter Moser is going to get a third year but this is bad, bad, bad.

Judging by how OU performed against Bama perhaps it would be smart to hold on to Moser until they begin SEC play.

ISU needs a good kick in the penis in Moody.

We absolutely owe them that.  Remaining SOS of the top 6 teams in the Big 12

1 TCU
3 Baylor
6 KU
7 ISU
11 Texas
12 KSU

Texas having the second "easiest" schedule of the 6, and a 2 game lead on KSU, makes us the current favorite. 

BPI gives Texas an 84% to win the conference at 13-5.  2nd best offense, 4th best defense in the league. 

Big 12 looks like an 8 bid league, as WV's NET is top 20 and 7-11 might be enough with how strong the league is.

I think it’s 7. I just don’t see WVU getting to 7-11 and I know how strong the league is and how good their net is but 6-12 just doesn’t seem possible to get in. 
Ok St needs to get to 8-10 imo. So they have to take care of their 3 “gimme’s” (narrator- there are. I ginmes in the big 12)

[HtownHorn 14724]

I think for Texas it comes down to 1 more road win at Tech. Win that game, and they should win the regular season title. 8-1 at home and 5-4 on the road. Don't see anyone catching us at 13-5.

[Al_4_ISU 12464]

The only way we catch you is by beating you in Austin, and that’s not happening.

Looks like Grandma at Tech can’t win without a Beard team to play with.  Baylor 89 Tech 62.  Tech now 1-9 in conference.

I'm going to have to add "tornado tickling corn fed fuckers" to my lexicon.

If something goes fucky for you guys down the stretch, I'd be more willing to bet it's in the form of dropping some road games to bottom half teams.

The only bottom half team road game left for us is Tech. It’s more that we still play in Lawrence, host Kansas, host you, go to Waco and go to FW.  Dropping one of the OU/WV home games is what would be really bad

I could see you guys dropping the 3 roadies to KU, Rape, and TCU.  Would put you at 13-5 right?

For us to match that, we have to steal one of our 3 trips to Waco, Austin, or Manhattan, win at Morgantown, and hold serve at home.

I think we can and will win out in Hilton (that building's at another level this year) but I wouldn't be surprised if we dropped all of those road games.  I'd be damn happy with 11-7 (especially with a conference tournament title, and I think at this point we're kinda the favorite to do that), but those nail biters in Lubbock and Stillwater will haunt us at the end of the day.

Man, I fucking HATE the new conference talk, but losing that fucking whiny mother fucker will be a bonus.

KU cracked the door open for us to pull even with UT on Wednesday night, but ISU rarely plays well in Morgantown.

You have four tough road games ahead of you and we have two (TCU and Baylor) and Tech, which could also be tough as you guys found out. Still lots of basketball left.

[Pancho 44856]

Here’s hoping they lose out

['stache 21819]

Ugh, just when things were looking up, our most veteran starter Avery Anderson needs wrist surgery. We have guys stepping up which is good, but Bryce Thompson needs to get his shit back together because he's playing like shit. If everyone else's upward trajectory sticks and Thompson gets back to form we can probably withstand losing Anderson, but consistency from game to game has been the biggest issue in the Boynton era.

Hence the "cracked the door" comment.

We have a better chance than we did 24 hours ago, but we could pretty easily lose all of those road games and that would put us a few games back.

Texas should still be the favorite.

Had to do a double take when I saw West Virginia is favored by 3.5 against Iowa State tonight.

TCU isn't even a tournament team without Miles and you know with our luck his first game back will be against us.

WV is 10-3 at home and all 3 losses were to top 10 teams. 2 of which were really close. They are good at home.

Preferably a 45 point loss

This seems like a very important game for WV. They're currently a last 4 bye in Lunardi's bracket. This is the type game that can move the needle and it's at home. 

I would be really surprised if WV doesn't play well tonight but who knows. 

[Rickylovesweed 14482]

This is how I figured WV would play in this one. Lets see if it continues. 

[Rickylovesweed 14482]

Grill might be one of the dirtiest players ever in the Big 12. He takes so many cheap shots in games.

That technical completely changed the momentum in this game. 

Just let them play. Come on refs. 

Stevenson is banged up. Could be big with WV coming to Austin on Saturday. 

[Js1 85407]

WV is fucked if Stevenson can’t play the rest of this game 

[Rickylovesweed 14482]

Saturday game is at 11. Quick turnaround on Saturday. 

It would be nice for Texas to catch WV without Stevenson. 

[Rickylovesweed 14482]

Knee to the head? 

If that's a concussion it seems really unlikely Stevenson would be available on Saturday.

[Dr Phil WIth Hair 273]

King McClure kind of sounds like a moron.  He listed Baylor as the best team in the conference.  Where did he play again?

[Rickylovesweed 14482]

McClure sounded so biased when talking about Texas. That was hilarious.

I heard that. The reason he gave was weird too. He hesitated, like he had no good answer, then said, "their guards take bad shots." Huh?

[Dr Phil WIth Hair 273]

No wonder Huggins looks like he has multiple strokes per game.  WV can play so well for stretches and just go brain dead.  He is 70 going on 95.
