It's weird that it is being played in Tulsa this year after all the OKC hosted events at the Bricktown Ballpark.

OU is a 3rd seed and opens on Wednesday against 6th seed K-St. You can watch all the games online at www.big12sports.com and there will be some satellite/cable broadcasts.

interesting...on the official B12 website they have TT in 3rd on the little "rank" box...both tt and OU were 13-11, OU had the better overall record, is in front of TT alphabetically, OU got the 3 seed, not sure why the webmaster put OU 4th. Just a weird thing. I went to see where OU was in the big 12.

OSu will be tough, but hopefully we can make a run...

Tech has a better overall (all games) winning % than OU and that is probably the lazy way they break standings on the internet. We beat them in the tiebreaker though. At 32-25 overall, OU is going to need to do major damage in this tournament or they may be left begging for an NCAA berth. Of course I will never forget the year OSU finished 9th in the conference and didn't even make the Big 12 tournament but still inexplicably got an at large berth in the NCAA.

yeah I noticed that as well....dumba$$ big 12...should be H/H first...one true champion....lol
they had a shot in all 3 games against tcu...but came up empty. Pretty sure that unless we win the tourney...or get to the title game we are out.

[Sooner95]

Well Ksu is sticking it to us early.. down 5-0..

[birddog]

They look bored or distracted or both.

[Sooner95]

Well , we won today, there's that...

We await the loser of Osu/Ksu.... neither of which I am thrilled about, in which the other opponent we'd have to beat twice...

[Sooner95]

Ok, we get a rematch of KSU, we need to win that.

We'll need to knock off OSu twice, but I'll take that chance.

[Sooner95]

We knock off KSu 5-1 tonight.

Now we get Stooltown tomorrow afternoon, need to take 2 against them or our season is over.

I wonder why the Big12 / Phillips66 can't generate a bracket that you don't have to scratch your head and say " lessee, loser of game 3 plays... etc"??? Compare the bracket for the WCWS (http://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/softball/d1), which everything is easy to figure out who beat who, who plays who next, etc?

I have looked all over for a bracket for the men's Big 12 tourney that doesn't have you cussing under your breath... **** poor bracket is all I have to say!

[Sooner95]

Well, with a 5-1 loss today, i suspect this will end of season at 34-27.

Very average team all the way around. Recruiting better pick up.

Bring back Sunny!

Attendance in Tulsa was only 4,976 for the Texas/OSU championship game which surprises me but if it helps get the tournament back to OKC, that's a good thing (for me, LOL).

Texas winning it was likely necessary for them to make the NCAA and makes 1 less spot for OU to sneak in and get a berth.

Only 3 Big 12 teams made the NCAA tourney: TCU, OSU, and Texas (only because they won the Big 12 tournament).

Great news! The Big 12 baseball tournament will be back in OKC in 2016 through 2020 (at least)!
