If they win tonight, and they should....TCU at Home, they will be tied with us for 6th place. It will be their 5th conference win in a row. If favorites win, we should go 2-1 and they should go 1-2 in the last three games. However, they are hot. Should we end up tied, it will depend on a couple remaining games to determine the tie breaker. It is possible their win over Baylor could give them the edge. I just hope things go as they should, and we do not have to play Wednesday night in KC. Tubby has done a great job with a team that does not look that talented to me. I suppose self will get coach of the year, but tubby might deserve some consideration.

What's wrong with playing Wednesday. Probably be a win that I'd gladly take.
Certainly better than one and done.

I see us as the likely 6 seed, or possibly 5 if TX loses at home to KU and OK, or one of them plus a loss at OSU...... Great chance we end up with Baylor or WVU in the first game...and I don't know which I would want....
Playing Wednesday against TCU is a completely worthless game. It's an opportunity for a bad loss and a way to get a shallow team tired legs before they play OU or WVU the next day who would be on 5 days' rest.
There is literally no bonus for ISU to beat TCU in Kansas City. I would say going 1-1 in KC would have zero impact on the March Madness seedings/placement compared to going 0-1 on Thursday. But going 0-1 on Wednesday would be brutal.
Baylor. We don't need to get roughed up as bad as WV will do to us, win or lose.
Yes.....if we end up tied and they lose at KU, which is extremely likely, we would have the tie breaker. Probably the most scarey scenario for us is that we go 1-2 and they go 2-1 and get 6th outright. I was not sure some people realized that we will likely be tied after tonight, with 6th place coming down to the last three games. They play good enough defense, IMO, to have an shot at WVU. We must not stumble.
Yep. They could easily come back, but this is a tough league. Some of our fans refuse to see it, but it is a fact.
I think it does. You can't take a day off. Same thing when Kansas State beat Oklahoma. Or Baylor blew out Texas. Or we beat Kansas and Oklahoma.
