...when has the NCAA tournament ever taken a .500 at large team?

Also, I just joined in, why wouldn't we want Tech to lose so that we can face WVU if we get by a limping Kansas squad?

(A link to an explanatory post is good enough, I don't want to have someone write a new thesis.)

Correct--no .500 team has ever been given an at-large bid.

And WVU would absolutely be a more preferable matchup for Texas. Tech swept us, we swept the 'Eers.

Geez ... been watching hockey. Flipped to TT-WVU and see Beard’s doing a dress rehearsal for a job interview.

I think the instructions were go out and play, just don't get hurt.  Tech has not played like this in years.

[Brian Fantana 6866]

Lol if they ain't tryin, I ain't tryin to watch

If Tech loses and K-State wins out, they are B12 champion.

Tournament champs.  Tech and K State already have their regular season trophies in the case.  So who cares.

Tournament is the tie breaker.

One true champion.

[Moby Ric 2058]

More like one true dumbass.  

[Brian Fantana 6866]

Is this one of those times where somebody just says a bunch of bullshit and then claims they're trolling?

So if Tech plays K-State in finals and wins, you don’t think Tech is the one true champion?  

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

Got dammit.

Like I've been saying, people put too much emphasis on conference tournament play.

Yeah I honestly don't really even care if we lose this game

Might be a good reality check that you can't coast through any game

Media will disagree.

[Moby Ric 2058]

I am kind of wanting to lose.  Don't want to play Texas or KU next round.  Would rather have the team get the rest.

[Moby Ric 2058]

But of course

[Horn80 6359]

Go Tech.

[Brian Fantana 6866]

Yeah, looking more and more like Tech is gonna sleepwalk and get away with it.

[Brian Fantana 6866]

And Culver fucks it up by taking a long J

[Moby Ric 2058]

That should do it.  Bring on the big dance.

[Brian Fantana 6866]

Yesssss send us home

[Moby Ric 2058]

Well here's to hoping Texas beats KU tonight.  Go get some rest Tech.

[HtownHorn 15235]

Shaka just got a major gift.

[Brian Fantana 6866]

Grats WVU well deserved win

[Horn80 6359]

K-State playing for bragging rights.

[Braff Zacklin 13676]

This definitely made Texas' path easier ... which means we'll go out and lay an egg.
