Let’s talk about Big XII Tournament seeding. KU is a lock for the #1 seed. If KSU takes care of business at home this coming Saturday against Mizzou, they are close to a lock for the #2 seed.
Kansas 13-0
Kansas State 10-3
Missouri 9-4
Texas 8-5
Baylor 8-5
Texas A&M 8-5
Oklahoma State 7-6
Let’s look at the remaining schedules for these teams. I think A&M is likely #4 seed with a shot at the #3 seed. Here’s why:
Mizzou
2/27 @ KSU 8:00 PM
3/02 @ ISU 8:00 PM
3/06 KU 2:00 PM
I think they drop 2 of 3 here – perhaps all three.
A&M
2/27 TEX 2:00 PM
3/03 OKST 9:00 PM
3/06 @ OKLA 12:00 PM
A&M wins at least 2 of 3 – a great shot at winning them all.
Texas
2/27 @ TA&M 2:00 PM
3/01 OKLA 9:00 PM
3/06 @ BAY 4:00 PM
Texas likely loses 2 of 3 here.
Baylor
2/27 @ OKLA 1:30 PM
3/02 @ TTU 8:00 PM
3/06 TEX 4:00 PM
Baylor can win all three of these, but will likely drop either the OU or Tech game.
OSU
2/27 @ TA&M 2:00 PM
3/01 OKLA 9:00 PM
3/06 @ BAY 4:00 PM
Loses two of three to fall back out of the race.
So, I see Mizzou dropping back into a tie with at least A&M and Baylor. Both have tie breaker over Mizzou. Baylor and A&M have split head to head, so we go to in division record where Baylor has a game on us. We need Baylor to lose one more game than we do – and they have more road games left. Baylor has been very beatable on the road.
Texas drops back to a #6 seed.
Thoughts?

I worry about our guard play in 2011.
Baylor’s fans boo and whine like yeasty hatchet wounds.

Horns beat OU and Baylor, lose to Aggies.

So, let’s see:
Mizzou
2/27 @ KSU 8:00 PM
3/02 @ ISU 8:00 PM
3/06 KU 2:00 PM
I think they drop 2 of 3 here – perhaps all three.
Well, they lost to KSU and it took OT but they pulled it out as ISU. They’ll get killed at KU to finish. That means 10-6.
A&M
2/27 TEX 2:00 PM
3/03 OKST 9:00 PM
3/06 @ OKLA 12:00 PM
A&M wins at least 2 of 3 – a great shot at winning them all.
Two in the bag and hopeful for Saturday. With Willie Waren out, I predict a win and 11-5 record.
Texas
2/27 @ TA&M 2:00 PM
3/01 OKLA 9:00 PM
3/06 @ BAY 4:00 PM
Texas likely loses 2 of 3 here.
The Baylor game is shaping up as a biggie, eh? I still think the Baptists win that one and Texas finishes 9-7.
Baylor
2/27 @ OKLA 1:30 PM
3/02 @ TTU 8:00 PM
3/06 TEX 4:00 PM
Baylor can win all three of these, but will likely drop either the OU or Tech game.
I was wrong. Baylor wins them all, I think. 11-5.
OSU
2/27 KU
3/01 @ TAMU
3/06 NEB
Loses two of three to fall back out of the race.
KU win was huge – HUGE. But they still have to win Saturday – I think they do to finish 9-7.
So, here goes – all assume KSU will beat ISU at home.
