Weāre so easily in if we had won those games lol. Our only bad loss in terms of NET is SIU. Weād be sitting at 18-11 and like a 7 seed roughly

Good logic. Except we donāt really recruit basketball players, Brian. We recruit āathletesā that happen to play basketball 
Big difference, which may explain why the team as a whole arenāt the most consistently [good] shooters 
I still think if the defense returns to pre-KU game form, we can have a decent chance regardless. Need one of those āugly winsā

We really need the w against Baylor.
Otherwise we would have been swept by the top 4 teams in the league, meaning no real quality wins outside ISU away.
Tcu with no miles the committee will see through

The committee absolutely does not look into that stuff. They canāt go through every game that teams win and decide how impactful a missing player is
You donāt think?
When you start talking bubble, thereās really only 8 teams or so that are vying for those last 4 spots.
Wouldnāt be tough to really dig in on those 8.
No telling too if they have people who only hone in on specific conferences then give their 2 cents to the broader committee.
We can still get in with a loss Monday, but would be forced to win in Lubbock. And I donāt see any logical way we win Monday. So itāll come down to the game vs tech. And then most likely another in KC.
Throw logic out the window with this team. My favorite phrase from elementary school, āIf there is a will, there is a way.ā OSUMBB have shown that, in spurts, they can hang with anyone. And any opponent can have one bad game. Perhaps OSU put it together for one magical āwillā game against Baylor like they did ISU. Play 10 games, Baylor definitely wins at least 9. But we only play 1 game, so maybe we will ourselves to win that one.
Maybeā¦and this is pure hyperboleā¦a coach should have his team playing well from the opening tip of the season, in order to avoid situations like this.
āBoynton teams start slowā will not be an acceptable excuse next season.

They absolutely judge teams by injuries. It happens all the time where they move teams up and down seed lines based off injuries. Iām sure they were well aware that a player the caliber of miles was out. Just like Iām sure they knew Cisse was out.
Now how heavily they weigh each injury Iām sure wildly varies each year
I disagree. It would take them forever to go through every teams wins and losses and factor in missing players. We won the game, it was a quad 1 win, and thatās that

I agree. I defend MB a lot obviously, but Iāve never defended the fact that we lose too many non con games. Shouldnāt be losing to SIU or UCF when we were up in both games by about 20 if I remember correctly

A better chance now!
That is great news.
Flagler and cryer are going to get theirs, but if we can get some early fouls on their bigs and limit Love and Lohner weāll have a shot.
