Really need Cincy to come through tonight. If not, there's a chance our game vs Baylor tomorrow could decide who gets the 2 in omaha

This seems likely if but wins. Play in for the 2 seed

 

[cyclones500]

A lot of (non-ISU) bubble developments today.

Dayton lost, that re-opens a bid steal from A-10. UD's seed line continues to drop, but it's probably safe.

Among the at-large "Toast" file (not exhaustive, but a few samples):

• Wake
• Iowa
• K-State
• Seton Hall might not have fallen completely, but I doubt it survives the cut line.

 

[EvilBetty]

There is essentially a zero percent isu gets a 1 seed if we win the big 12 tourney right?

The same percentage of Fran McCaffrey Sweet 16 berths, I'm afraid.

I think with arizona avenging usc today, that's right. If AZ lost, we had a shot

Maybe the 2 seed but not Omaha.
There probably is some low chance scenario they aren’t, but I think ISU is locked into Omaha now

Creighton loss locks us into Omaha. Likely us and someone other than Baylor

 

[jdoggivjc]

He moved Creighton to the two line. Moved us up back to the two Creighton back to the 3. Baylor or us 2 or 3 seed but I think both in Omaha.

Baylor will be playing in Memphis, not Omaha.

Why does Creighton factor into Omaha? They can't play there, which I assume you know, so does it have to do with some other site?

They would push another team who is farther away to omaha.

If Creighton was ahead of Marquette they would go to Indy and Marquette would go to Omaha

 

[cyclones500]

Villanova's bubble finally bursts.

Tennessee would have to lose tomorrow

 

[simply1]

Creighton losing and ISU winning should pretty much lock up Omaha I’d think

Why?

 

[DSMCy]

If Creighton was ahead of Marquette they would go to Indy and Marquette would go to Omaha

Why?

 

[Cyforce]

Creighton loss locks us into Omaha. Likely us and someone other than Baylor

Why would that matter if Creighton can't play in Omaha?

 

[Cyforce]

If Creighton was ahead of Marquette they would go to Indy and Marquette would go to Omaha

Ok, that makes sense.

 

[Cyforce]

So what we can assume and what's still up for grabs.

East 1. Connecticut 2. UNC
South 1. Houston 2. Tennessee if they aren't 1 in the west.
MW 1. Purdue 2. ISU or Marquette
West 1,2, Arizona and Tennessee

Left Baylor out. If they beat us tonight they probably jump.our spot. So we need a win tonight.


Basically Tennessee in the south means us or Marquette end up west.

If Tennessee goes west we should get MW because of Houston sending Marquette south.

I'm in no way a bracketologist but that seems to be the logical approach. Let me know what I'm missing.

 

[F5cy]

I'm more concerned about which region we end up in as opposed to if we are a 2 or 3 seed in Omaha. I'd rather be a 3 seed in the Midwest than a 2 seed in the East
