You knew the nuclear shooting would eventually go cold, but unfortunately it happened when the defense feel asleep.
I used to feel that way, but the RPI has been taking a steady tumble, even after wins, due to SOS dropping. They were a projected 10-seed before (terrible) TCU loss. If they lose to ISU it puts them in coin-flip territory. Wish it wasn't true.
True. We went from playing for a 6 seed next week to probably 8 at best. It's a shame to lose to such a terrible team but we punched our ticket with the last two wins.
This team isn't on the bubble, but it's as close to being on the bubble as a team can be. The problem is that the bad loses (and lets face it, they were bad) are at the tail end of the season. Fortunately, the RPI and SOS numbers should be enough to keep the Sooners in the tournament. If the Sooners lose to ISU, then there could be some cause for concern, but even then, not likely. Fortunately, some of the real bubble teams haven't stepped up to make their claim, so short of getting routed Thursday, the Sooners should be in at a 10 seed.

I'd agree with that. OU is better than ISU, and should win the first round game, but this is the same team that blew a 22 point lead at Texas and just lost to TCU. Something tells me they will take care of business Thursday and remove all doubt.
