BIG 12 TOURNAMENT OUTLOOK: 03.13.09 (Open Game Thread)

I will admit, I didn't really feel all that motivated to put this together, given that the whole thing loses some of its luster when the Cats are out, but just like I kept going to the games in person last year to the bitter end (yes, I actually sat through that entire Rock Chalk fest), I persevered for you, the loyal blog reader.

No computer ranking chart today, though. Really, what's the fraking point? OSU's in, A&M's probably in and the Cats are going to the NIT. Not really anything else to add, you know?

 

Sagarin Predictions

  1. No. 5 Texas 72, No. 9 Baylor 69 (6 p.m.)
  2. No. 3 Missouri 75, No. 7 Oklahoma State 72 (8:20 p.m.)

Star-divide

Yesterday's Results

  • No. 9 Baylor 71, No. 1 Kansas 64
  • No. 5 Texas 61, No. 4 Kansas State 58
  • No. 7 Oklahoma State 71, No. 2 Oklahoma 70
  • No. 3 Missouri 81, No. 11 Texas Tech 60

Apparently the correct answer to the poll question was actually "E: Damn near all of the above." Missouri actually was the lowest vote-getter, however, so good call on that.

I was 2 of 4 on picks, but who really cares? The fact that Sagarin sucks at predicting these outcomes is precisely why tournaments are so much damn fun.

P.S. The weird pattern continued. Even-numbered seeds were winless in the tournament this year. Strange.

TB would like you all to know that he will be unable to participate today as he covers a god-forsaken 500-mile stretch of road through the nation’s heartland.

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

Guess that means you're all stuck with me

I think Panjandrum said he might be out, too.

MadCat...

Hail to the Purple, Hail to the White
Wildcat in spirit, Wildcat in fight
Hail Alma Mater from sea to sea
Onward forever, Hail Victory!

If you had told me...

…before the tournament started that Missouri would be in the final. If you had told me before the season started that Baylor would be, I would have believed you.

If, however, you had told me before the season that Missouri would be in the final, I would have thought you were nuts. And if you had told me before the tournament that Baylor would be in the final, I would have offered a similar sentiment.

We'll carry the banner high!
