But I think we are a solid 2, probably now the top 2. 

I tend to agree, but doesn't Houston have like 3 Quad 1 wins all year?

We have more than that in the last 2 weeks.

And if quad 1 wins are a big deal, don’t we have a big pile of them as well?  I l if there’s 2 against Kansas as part of our last 10, which is supposed to also be a thing. 

Yeah, this is the problem.

They're going to give Kansas the #1 or #2 overall seed based primarily on Q1 wins. If that's the case Texas deserves a 1 seed too.

I have 2 KU teachers at my school who decorated my door after the football game last year.  Payback is going to be a bitch.

No chance. The NCAA committee has highlighted how important Q1 wins are. 

Kansas has 17 and we are the next closest at 13. Kansas will be the overall #1 or #2 seed. But this is also why we should be a 1 seed. 

17 for Kansas, 13 for Texas, 6 for Houston, 11 for Bama/Purdue, 8 for UCLA

I mean, I get the argument for us

I edited my post but it's actually 14 after the win tonight.

Yeah, I'm fully on board us getting a 1 seed. You can't preach about Q1 wins and then not give us a 1 seed.

Fuck KU and fuck Corby Davidson. Helluva win, love how far this team has come this season.

I agree with fuck Corby on principle, but why specifically?

Yeah, I mean if they're the #1 overall seed, and we just blasted them twice in 8 days and our overall resume is literally just as good as theirs, we have to be a 1.

Houston has the weirdest profile out all the teams. They're #1 in NET but they have the worst resume in almost every other metric. They have the fewest Q1 wins, they have a bad loss (Q3), and their strength of schedule is terrible. 

The NCAA committee isn't going to exclude the #1 overall NET team but if they lose to Memphis tomorrow and fall to like 3 or 4 in NET they might not get a 1.

if we're true to form, if we within anything close at the half, we crush them in the 2nd half

Told ya.

Man, I like obliterating Kansas in basketball almost--almost--as much as doing it to Oklahoma in football. Great day. Hook 'em!

(Were there really people arguing we should win one game in the tournament and shut it down to get rest?)

Uh-Oh - a 20 point beatdown of the overall #1 seed and defending national champion. Ahem -  Hook'em Horns 2023 Big 12 Champs (Tournament) \m/

Okay, so maybe the best thing that could happen for us is if U of H is considered the worst 1 and we're the best 2, so we go in the same bracket.

That's as good an E8 matchup as we could ask for, and I'm not even sure Houston gets there.

With Sasser gimpy, the Coogs might well be the weakest No. 1. They might even be more like a high 2. I think we'd beat them.

I’m fine with his conclusion but our overall resume isn’t as good as theirs. They blow us away in strength of schedule (non- conference) and did finish a game ahead of us. It’s close and the 2/3 definitely helps- but I have them ahead of us by a close but discernible margin. We should be ahead  of everyone else imo. 

Congrats to the Big12 Tourney Champions. 

At least for today, we were the best team in the country. Time to get focused on the next game.

Well Done,

Texas. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

If they lose tomorrow it would be interesting where they drop in NET. If they drop to like 3 or 4 in NET I don't think they're getting a 1 seed.

Their resume sucks outside of the raw NET ranking.

That is terrible, that ranking list. Usually have more respect for him than that.  Yes I know it’s a computer.

That would be a fun regional final with the Final 4 in Houston and all.

Nope, Houston isn't losing their #1 seed. They are like the top team in every ranking that follows college basketball. They are also the only team in the Top 10 in both Adjusted offense and defense and are likely the favorite to win it all.

I have always hoped we would do to them what Texas did to Nebraska in football.  Which was making them irrelevant.

I need to see where Houston falls in NET if they lose to Memphis. If it's 3 or 4 I think it's a real possibility. 

Q1 wins-

Kansas 17

Texas 14

Alabama 11

Purdue 11

UCLA 8

Houston 6

Bad losses (Q3 or Q4)-

Houston 1

Everyone else 0

SOS-

Kansas 1

Alabama 2

Texas 9

Purdue 31

Houston 38

UCLA 40

Houston is not getting a 1 seed over most these teams if they drop to 3 or 4 in NET. A 2 or 3 spot difference in NET compared to the other teams is not going to make up for the rest of their resume. 

 

 

 

The committee may also be 99% of the way done with the bracket. Only making small adjustments here and there. I usually don’t think the tournaments matter that much

Alabraska in football. Its coming and will be glorious.

My thoughts, as well.

Non-conference early season + conference play >>>>> conference tournament, imo.

The cache of a No.1 seed would be nice, but it seems we're obsessing over something of minimal importance. The actual bracket/opponents Texas will face should be our concern here, dudes.

Our Nonconference schedule is killing us in his ratings. 

Dare I say we flow a little better without Timmy?...maybe ease him in off the bench instead of just plugging him in right away in the 1st Rd with 25+ minutes. The current bunch has some Mo going..

This. We needed Purdue or Bama or Houston to lose today and not tomorrow so they would have time to make the necessary adjustments. It’s just too late tomorrow imo.
