Haven't seen much speculation about the Big 12 tournament on the board, but haven't read every thread. Here is what I have gathered looking at the
standings:
Tournament matchups if the season ended today:
1 Kansas vs 8 OSU / 9 Texas winner
4 TCU vs 5 KSU
--------
2 WVU vs 7 OU / 10 ISU winner
3 Tech vs 6 Baylor
Remaining games:
ISU vs OU (Fri)
WVU at Texas (Sat)
Baylor @ KSU (Sat)
Kansas @ OSU (Sat)
TCU @ Tech (Sat)
Scenarios (
tie-breaker explanation link):
1.) If we beat Tech, we would tie conference records but they would still get 3rd due to a better record vs Kansas. We clinch 4th. Our opponent would be the winner of the KSU/Baylor game. If Baylor wins that game, they win a head to head tiebreaker with KSU due to a better record vs Kansas during the season.
2.) If we lose to Tech, the outcome of Baylor/KSU also comes into play. If KSU wins, they get 4th seed and we get 5th. If Baylor wins, then there is a 3 way tie for 4th. TCU was 3-1 against KSU/Baylor this season. KSU in this case would be 2-2 vs TCU/Baylor. Baylor in this case would be 1-3 vs TCU/KSU. Thus, the order would be 4 TCU, 5 KSU, 6 Baylor.
So....TCU win = play the winner of KSU/Baylor, TCU loss = play KSU.
At least I think that's right....
