Top 5 teams in Big 12, which WVU had to play 10 games against, are positioned mathematically to reach Sweet Sixteen if they win Saturday and Sunday 2nd round games. And Elite Eight if they win in Sweet Sixteen.
5 from one conference, if it happens, would be unreal!
And 4 of 5 Big 12 teams face a lower seed in 2nd round. TCU only one to face higher seed. So numbers say 4-1 in 2nd round, which would mean HALF the Elite Eight field would be Big 12 teams if they also win in Sweet Sixteen!
Final Big 12 standings
1. Kansas 1 seed vs. 8 seed Arkansas, 5:15 pm Saturday
2. Texas 2 seed vs. 10 seed Penn State, 7:45 pm Saturday
3. Kansas State 3 seed vs. 6 seed Kentucky, Sunday, tipoff time ???
4. Baylor 3 seed vs. 6 seed Creighton, Sunday, tipoff time ???
5. TCU 6 seed vs. 3 seed Gonzaga, Sunday, tipoff time ???
TCU had me worried for a while Friday night. Now I can't wait for Saturday and Sunday 2nd round games by Big 12 teams to see if what numbers told me, possible 4 or 5 teams in Sweet Sixteen and Elite Eight, startles the nation!
