It would have been enough just to say that we are in 1st Place!

It would have been enough just to say that we are in 1st Place!

If we were “a half game back” because we hadn’t played as many games before tonight, then we’re “a half game ahead” now because we have the head to head.

Tie? Please. We beat Houston already. We're in first. They're looking up.

If we were “a half game back” because we hadn’t played as many games before tonight, then we’re “a half game ahead” now because we have the head to head.

Technically, by the math, we are tied, not a half game ahead at the moment. But we are indeed in the more favorable position because of the tiebreakers. That win against Houston was so huge.

I just can't stop thinking about being in 1st place!

And that is coming off a road game and coming into Hilton for our next game.

ESPN showed a graphic during the Baylor game and talked about us being the current 1 seed if the Big 12 tournament started today. That was nice.
