Woman's Game

I'm still not too certain about it.

Assuming ISU wins out to finish 12-4, they still need:
(1) A&M to lose at least once (vs. UT, vs. OU, at BU)
(2) Texas to lose at least twice (at A&M, vs. BU, at KSU, vs. OU)
(3) Possibly need Texas to beat KSU also

If KSU and ISU both finish 12-4, and KSU's 4th loss is to Texas, then the ISU/KSU seed will be determined by a coin flip (barring a tie involving south teams as well).

Do we need A&M to lose? If we both have 4 losses, we won the head-to-head, so we'd be one up.

I was still holding out hope for a 2 or 3 seed, to postpone the OU in OKC as long as possible. Assuming Baylor does not lose 3 or their last 5, they'll be a lock for 2/3. That means we need texas to lose twice, and KSU to lose twice or win a coin flip against them. Right? Oh, and we can't slip up along the way. Looking at it more closely...we really really really could have used that win on sunday.

It's more of a "better safe than sorry" approach re: A&M. Getting in a 3-way tie with A&M and Texas may get sticky.

If we win out (and that's a big if -- @ Tech will be dicey, and I never count @ Kansas as an automatic win) I don't see a reasonable scenario that puts us any lower than a 4 seed.

Baylor (9-2): @ Oklahoma, Tech, @ Texas, @ Kansas, A&M
A&M (7-4): Texas, Oklahoma, @ KSU, OSU, @ Baylor
Texas (7-3): OSU, @ A&M, @ Missouri, Baylor, @ KSU, Oklahoma
KSU (7-3): @ Missouri, Colorado, @ Nebraska, A&M, Texas, @ Colorado

Operating under the assumption that Oklahoma will go undefeated and we will win out (for the purposes of argument here), I found only one scenario that gets us the #5 seed, and that has Texas, Baylor, ISU, and KSU all tied at 12-4 and ISU losing the coin flip to KSU.

Vanderbilt wore pink (as opposed to white with pink trim) at home, and Georgia wore their normal red road uniforms (with pink trim). Oy.

Lots of teams didn't wear pink yesterday, not just Texas. Maryland had a home game with Rutgers - Brenda Frese had them wear their regular white uniforms.

Maryland is an Under Armour school.

Nike provided its schools with the pink apparel, at no charge. Texas is one of those schools.

Maryland is an Under Armour school.

Under Armour is supporting the WBCA Pink Zone promotion as well. It is not just a Nike promotion.
Auburn is an Under Armor school, and they are wearing pink uniforms next Sunday against Georgia.

Lucky for them that their next three games are against the dregs of the conference -- Mizzou, Colorado and Nebraska (all 2-8 in the league).

well one of those dregs just beat them.
