I know, the men beat Kansas, so I should be happy.
The ISU women lost to Baylor, so all is lost, you think. Okay, admittedly, it's not looking great, but assuming ISU wins its final three games (and they ought to) and assuming nothing else too wacky happens (which, quite honestly, can only help Iowa State), they're looking at a seed somewhere between 2 and 5, probably closer to five. More specifically, of the 16 likely scenarios, it breaks down thus:
There are 16 likely scenerios as there are only four games of the 18 remaining where the outcome seems uncertain. (Actually, there's five, but testing shows that the Texas A&M/Oklahoma State game has no impact on ISU's seeding.) If you are trying to figure out who to cheer for in these matchups, here is the cheering list. (Please note by far the most important game.)
Wednesday: Oklahoma over Texas Tech: ISU up, on average, ½ seed Nebraska over Kansas State: ISU up, on average, 1½ seeds
Saturday: Oklahoma over Texas: ISU up, on average, ¾ seed
Next Week: Baylor over Texas Tech: ISU up, on average, ¾ seed
i sincerely do not know what you are doing here. are you lost? were you
looking for your delicate calico cat, and did you follow her up two flights of stairs
to this room? she is not here. she was here, yes. we gave her a warm bowl of milk, we talked with her about campaign finance reform for a time, and then she bid us good day. i believe she was
going to the post office two blocks down, but i don't quite recall.
for surely you did
not find your way from prinsiana, the least traveled site on
the internet. if you did, though, perhaps you are looking for humor. perhaps you are looking for profundity. perhaps you are looking for answers.
i'm sorry, but you shall go naught-for-three.
