BIG 12 TOURNAMENT OUTLOOK: 03.11.09 (Open Game Thread)

2008-8_tiny by BracketCat on in Men's Basketball Comment 182 comments

For today, at least, this will be short and sweet - a quick poll of Mr. Sagarin to see who should win today, just in time for it all to get shot to hell by that wonderful phenomenon known as parity. (Pomeroy does not project postseason games.) Just for fun, I'll make up some predicted scores, too.

All of today's games will air on the Big 12 Network:

  1. No. 9 Baylor 68, No. 8 Nebraska 67 (11:30 a.m.)
  2. No. 5 Texas 72, No. 12 Colorado 56 (2 p.m.)
  3. No. 7 Oklahoma State 71, No. 10 Iowa State 62 (6 p.m.)
  4. No. 6 Texas A&M 69, No. 11 Texas Tech 62 (8:20 p.m.)

K-State fans should probably root for Iowa State, Texas and Texas Tech. I don't think the winner of Baylor-Nebraska is relevant; I can't see either one of those teams getting past Kansas tomorrow.

As I mentioned earlier, feel free to use this entry as a live discussion thread today. I'll try to pop in throughout the day, but work will keep me away for most of the morning session.

Tomorrow, I will bring back the full table with the computer rankings; I just didn't have time tonight and nothing will have changed that much since Sunday given that there have been no Big 12 games since then.

Maybe it will pick up tonight, I dunno.

Looks like I called that Baylor game, and then some

How does Nubb win Saturday AT Baylor and is losing 4 days later 55-37? Crazy.

Hawks better watch out for Baylor. They’ve got talented seniors who just had a baptism – it’s a whole new season for the Bears.

Dropping in...

a bit surprised to see Nubbie getting run by Baylor. Not terribly surprised, but a bit. Baylor saving all their good play for the tourney?

Would’ve been nice to see Providence lose that game to DePaul. But, at this point, its more about us doing our thing than anything else.

by gw1754 on Mar 11, 2009 1:20 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

The funny thing is the DePaul game hurts them

They were counting on a quality win before Louisville bitch-slapped them. Instead, they got a RPI hit.

Oh, well, they’ll probably still get in because God forbid the vaunted Big Least get less than 8 teams in the dance.

Root for CU or Texas???

I’m torn whether we’d like this upset or not. It would give us the chance at Kansas so maybe Clemente could return the kick to the groin of Morningstar, but we’d get no bump from beating Colorado. Hmmmm….Go Buffs!!

by mjk7166 on Mar 11, 2009 1:34 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

UT...no questions asked...

…assuming the goal is the NCAA Tournament. To get in without winning the B12 Tourney, we need quality wins. That would mean beating UT again and then taking a 3rd crack at Kansas. Beat CU again does absolutely nothing for us but hurt our chances, IMO.

by gw1754 on Mar 11, 2009 1:43 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

It's pretty much irrelevant, in my view

I think we have to beat Kansas either way, so I can make the argument that Colorado would be nice because it’s an easier game on the ol’ legs, but I won’t turn down an opportunity for another quality win over Texas, either.

by BracketCat on Mar 11, 2009 1:53 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

What if?

Since it’s the tourney we can imagine almost anything right? After all TT beat KU in the last couple weeks already. So I’m hoping CU beats Texas, and we beat CU by at least 10, leading the entire game. As well as Baylor beating KU on a shot by Jerrells at the buzzer, I’ll give a 3rd team all-con award to anyone who does that to KU. KSU will be ending Baylor’s run in the tourney with a 10-20 point win with our final score in the high 60s, low 70’s. The championship game for us could be against anyone on the other side, since I am imagining the ‘almost impossible’, but I would want it to be against Mizzou or OU since I’m hoping the other bubble teams lose their first round games. Beating OU in OKC would be nice but having a Big 12 North battle for the title might be even better.

All I’m saying is, why not take an easier route to the title game and win it all rather than beating Texas and KU and probably still be left out due to our poor non-con, RPI, SOS, our school name being “Kansas State” and anything else the tournament committee will think of.

Last but not least GO CATS!!

GO STATE!!!!

If we go 5-5 against the RPI Top 50

and finish 10-2 down the stretch, we won’t get left out, wabasher.

I understand the “easy road” argument, but I still reject it. More than anything, the committee distinguishes between bubble teams by how many good teams they have beat. Beating Colorado and Baylor does us no good if we stub our toe in the championship game.

by BracketCat on Mar 11, 2009 2:21 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

I always have the thought

that no matter what we do, the committee would still look us over and pick someone else.

FINAL: No. 9 Baylor 65, No. 8 Nebraska 59

Apparently Nubb made a late run, scoring 15+ points in the last 4 minutes. Not enough, though.

I only low-balled the Baylor score by 4 points, but I was way off on the margin. Oh, well – at least I called the “upset.”

Texas 35, Colorado 29, at half.

I’m not sure DK can guard Pittman man-to-man, but good help from Anderson, Colon, and Samuels would sure help DK quite a bit. They all seem to have a bad game every now and then but it seems like DK has them less often this season. In fact, I can’t remember if Anderson has even had an above average to really good game this year. Can you?

Good to see

Pittman working so hard today, hopefully he’ll be worn out tomorrow. Unfortunately he played very good today and could do the same tomorrow. Our bigs had better be the ‘good bigs’ tomorrow and the same goes for the guards as well. An energized and active KSU defense should be able stop Texas after they already played today’s game.

Good call BracketCat

If we beat Texas, it is hard to leave us out already, given that we’d have more top 50 victories than okie st or UCLA for that matter, who is predicted a 4 seed. Our record in the last 12 games is 9-3, okie st 7-5, and I think UCLA is 8-4. Still I want KU again and that means go Buffs lol

North isn’t doing too good so far.

So, it’s KSU vs. Texas, Part 2, at 2 p.m. tomorrow. Bring it on.

P.S. I pegged the Colorado score exactly. Freaky. Only underestimated Texas by 5.

Checking in

I’ve been out all day thus far, doing school stuff and then watching the end of NU/BU and all of UT/CU at a friend’s house.

It was good to see CU keep it close for so long with Texas, let’s hope they wore Pittman out. I was watching the game with some friends who went to UT, and they commented that Pittman may be almost unstoppable one-on-one because he’s so big, but if you send an effective double-team, he is very turnover prone. I say we start out with Lu on him and DK helping out.

Should be around the rest of the evening. Hope the evening games are enjoyable to watch.

TELL me about it

Colorado had a losing record in Year 3 of the Hawk, and 12 seeds for both the men and the women. And they don’t even have baseball. Jesus.

That said, since tonight was most likely Brackins’ final game, ISU is gonna give CU a run for their money next year. At least CU improved visibly down the stretch, and if Higgins was good enough to be 3rd Team All-Big 12 on a 1-15 team, he should be downright impressive next season.

There will be no “whooping” tomorrow night.

Man do I hate Longhorn fans, well except for the ones that actually went there.

On a side note, I can't believe how empty that arena is

What an embarrassment. The Big 12 should have an emergency provision to move the tourney to KC in times of economic hardship.

by BracketCat on Mar 11, 2009 10:29 PM CDT reply actions   0 recs

And in times of economic boom

Of all the dumb things the Big 12 has done, moving the men’s basketball tourney out of KC s at the top of the list. I don’t care that Kemper sucked, we sold tickets and packed the place.

Couldn't agree more.

OKC does a good job with the tourney, but it still isn’t the same as KC. You could still buy all-session tickets today. Sprint Center would’ve been packed with the way the three local teams performed today.

On a related note...

I believe that A&M’s “cheerleader’s” might do the same. If f-ing Mizzou wouldn’t have choked on their own balls Saturday this would knock the aggies out.

Don’t see it knocking them out, unfortunately. Had they lost to Mizzou Saturday, maybe a different story.

What it does do is make a possible win tomorrow look better...

If KSU can make it to Friday, and they are the only one left standing of the 9-7 teams, it ‘may’ make a loss to KU moot (if that were to occur).

It’s all academic at this point, but KSU might make a case if they can get to the semis. A lot of the other bubble teams are getting knocked pretty bad right now, so they may sneak in.

I won't disagree with that...

…but we’re still gonna need some help from other bubble teams in my opinion. Some getting knocked off, but still need more.

But, a win tomorrow and let’s see what happens. I really do like our odds after the way the game went today. Play defense, run, and tire out Pittman. Gotta make shots, as always.

by gw1754 on Mar 11, 2009 10:57 PM CDT up reply actions   0 recs

If nothing else, it gives us an argument against A&M

What have they done that we didn’t do?

9-7 in conference — check

Big winning streak after rough start to conference play — check

We won on their home floor — check

Good finish to the season — check

About all they have on us right now is the non-conference wins over Arizona and LSU. If we can knock off Texas tomorrow, we might be in better shape than we expected.

The win over LSU will go pretty far...

When it comes down to the nitty gritty, and they’re getting ready to cut someone, that LSU win is going to carry a lot of weight.
