No, we can't. We are no way a lock right now. If the season ended today, yes. But, there's a lot of games left to be played.

No we can't, still a lot of work to do. But it's looking good as of right now, and if the season ended today I think we're easily in.

It is not a "lock" but as long as we win at home against teams we already beat on the road, yes. We have TTech, OU, and TA&M at home. Win those 3 and we are 10-8, which is in unless some crazy stuff happens. Those games aren't gimmes but they are should wins and I think this game just put us in the drivers seat to get into the tourney!

Having faced every Big 12 team except Baylor, we know what's possible to accomplish and it's looking like a tournament team.

But a lot of close calls that could've been the difference between 7-3 and 3-7.

Ability to win on the road never hurts the resume.

I would put our chances at 70% right now. If we win in Stillwater, I'd say we have a 90% chance. If we pick up another road win on Tuesday, it would take a meltdown of epic proportions to play ourselves out of the tourney.

We have 4 home games left, three of which are teams we have already beaten on the road. That gives us 20 wins at worst...if we take one from Baylor at home and win at OSU, that's 22 wins. We're not necessarily a 'lock' but if we do what we do, we will definitely be in.

You guys did notice i said "As long as we take care of business" right?

Taking care of business means beating opponents that aren't particularly good. We have to do more than that. The OSU game will be hard. The Mizzou and baylor games will be very hard.

Couple of losses and we are right back on the bubble. Just need to keep hammering it out.

We've still got three games against the top three in the conference. I think we could be anywhere from a 3 seed to the NIT right now. It is nice to be playing so well with so many big opportunities left on the schedule. But, we're also not winning games easy enough to think we could overcome a shooting funk against anyone.

The only game left I feel really good about is Tech at home. All the other teams have the potential to beat us. Not that they will, but this team cannot afford any let downs.
