mred's 2016 Big 12 MBB Bracket Generator

If we win in Lawrence, the KU trolls will invade to tell us why it doesn't matter, KU wasn't playing hard, they're resting for March Madness, etc. Just like the past two years of ISU wins in Kansas City.


The KU explanation practically writes itself!

"It doesn't matter . . . unless we win . . . mumble Naismith mumble"
 
KU fan here. It will DEFINITELY matter to me if you guys beat us on Senior Day. Way worse than losing in the conference tourney, at least for me (sorry, just being honest). Don't think it's gonna happen, though.
 
So far a little over 36% of the games have been won by road teams. Last year it was at 30%. If the 36% holds true, 3-4 more road teams should win in the final 10. Road locks are Texas at OSU and OU at TCU. That leaves one or two more roads teams that can win. The two games left where I can see the road team winning is KU at Texas and WV at Baylor. My best guess is KU beats Texas and Baylor beats WV. With that, I got this:

1. Kansas (15 - 3)
2. Oklahoma (12 - 6) Defeated West Virginia based on head-to-head record.
3. West Virginia (12 - 6) Lost to Oklahoma based on head-to-head record.
4. Texas (11 - 7) Defeated Baylor based on record against #2 teams.
5. Baylor (11 - 7) Lost to Texas based on record against #2 teams.
6. Iowa State (10 - 8)
7. Texas Tech (9 - 9)
8. Kansas State (5 - 13)
9. Oklahoma State (3 - 15)
10. TCU (2 - 16)
 
With my scenario above, here what it would of been if we hadn't blown those 2 homes games...

1. Kansas (15 - 3)
2. Iowa State (12 - 6) Defeated Oklahoma based on record against #1 teams.
3. Oklahoma (12 - 6) Lost to Iowa State based on record against #1 teams.
4. Texas (11 - 7) Defeated West Virginia based on head-to-head record.
5. West Virginia (11 - 7) Lost to Texas based on head-to-head record.
6. Baylor (10 - 8)
7. Texas Tech (9 - 9)
8. Kansas State (5 - 13)
9. Oklahoma State (3 - 15)
10. TCU (2 - 16)
