I don't mind this loss at all to be honest. Now we have Texas Tech and West Virginia as warmups leading into the conference tourney. I did not want KU to have to play #8 Oklahoma State with their first game of the Big 12 when OSU is fighting just to make the tournament. Especially after the wife and I dropped a few hundred dollars on tournament tickets.
#2-5 - Four 10-6 teams, and we should expect to play one of these teams Friday and one in the Championship
#6 West Virginia 8-8 (Oklahoma & Kansas left)
#7 Baylor 7-9 (Iowa State, Kansas State)
#8 Oklahoma State 7-9 (K-State, Iowa State)
#9 Texas Tech 5-11
#10 TCU
I guess it's interesting K-State and Iowa State play both the teams fighting to not have to play on the first day. I wouldn't be surprised to see West Virginia drop their last two, and give Baylor or Oklahoma State an opportunity to leap frog them. With KU playing the 8/9 winner, I'd just prefer to see anyone other than OSU with our first game.
