Thomas Gipson said in an interview last week that he predicted a 27 point loss last night, so it appears even when the best players have quit, they can still win.

Anyone have Kenpom? Dying to know what they have the odds for ISU and KU sharing the title and odds of KU or ISU winning it outright.
Since KU is a half game up on us, the odds might slightly favor them, but after we win on Wednesday I would be shocked if we're not favored to win it.

Another good takeaway from the Phog.net last night was that one of the posters was all concerned because he didn't think they can match the UCLA 13 season conference streak now. Reading that made me want the outright title even more. How awesome would it be to **** in their Cheerios?

Not sure where they pull their percentages.
.64.69
.62
.58
15% at 4-0.
I think we are pretty under rated by kenpom due to some of our blows leads this year
This site gives us a 21% of winning out.

An easy schedule including a game on the court that KU just lost on. Is he saying they lost an "easy" game last night?
I don't have KenPom, but I did 10,000 Monte Carlo simulations using Massey's numbers, and here's what I have:
KU outright: 33%
KU/ISU tie (or 3-way tie): 31%
ISU outright: 20%
KU/OU tie: 8%
OU outright: 4%
ISU/OU tie: 3%
other: 1%
If ISU beats Baylor, the odds change to this:
KU/ISU tie (or 3-way tie): 35%
ISU outright: 27%
KU outright: 25%
KU/OU tie: 5%
OU outright: 4%
ISU/OU tie: 3%
other: <1%
And if Iowa State wins out, they have a 78% chance of winning the Big 12 outright and a 22% chance of sharing with Kansas.

That "one game at a time" quote is so stupid! I have YET to see anyone play more than one game at a time! This isn't chess. Stop with the cliche's. How about " don't look ahead instead? Start talking English again and state what you mean. IB
I think what he was trying to say is that he is tired of losing to teams they are better than.
My gut feel is there is a better chance of KU winning out that ISU winning out. We will be favored in all four games, but a couple will only be a couple of points. When was the last time we won 7 straight in conference?
KU has no easy road... they will be underdogs at OU.
This is shaping up to be a GREAT finish. Hope they continue to play fully engaged!

Your question is a misunderstanding of probability. There more relevant question would be we last won 4 in a row. The first 3 already happened.
Not that you're could possibly make an accurate prediction or find any correlation without looking at SOS
Unless you were genuinely asking, then ignore all that

Awesome. Beat Baylor on Wednesday and we're the favorites. The team has to be super motivated right now.
