I guess the biggest news today is that I've added two lines to our resume listing, which follows after the jump.
I will maintain, from this point forward, updated projections for our seed in both the Big 12 and NCAA tournaments.
The former will be based on the latest prediction by BIG 12 OUTLOOK (and an updated one of those will publish at midnight, so keep an eye out for that), while the latter will be drawn from the cumulative bracket matrix maintained here — just so no one can accuse me of being a homer.
You also might notice our strength of schedule experienced a relatively precipitous fall today. I only can assume that had something to do with ugly losses Thursday night by Cleveland State, Loyola Chicago and Western Illinois.
