"Things that are inevitable: death, taxes, and Kansas winning the Big 12."
--Doug Gottlieb
West Virginia's win over Iowa State, coupled with Texas Tech's home loss to Kansas, enabled
the Mountaineers to reclaim second place over the Red Raiders. Oklahoma's win over Kansas
State, coupled with Baylor's loss at TCU, enabled the Sooners to reclaim sixth place over
the Bears. No other changes.

Iowa State could end Oklahoma State's tournament hopes, as the Cowboys need to win both of their
last two games to reach 8-10 in conference, widely considered to be the threshold for receiving
an at-large big to the Dance. Kansas will have something to say about that as well next weekend.

Greenfield and my home court adjustment to Sagarin shared honors for best prognostications in
Round 16. Sagarin retains the season lead.

No road wins were projected for Round 16, but one occurred, and it gave Kansas the crown.
No road wins are projected for Round 17. Three road wins in the last ten games will put
us right on the long-term average of one in three, but they might have to come in the
season finale. Let's hope Kansas gets one of them in Stillwater.

Three consecutive above-expectation performances have almost eliminated the statistical
significance of the negative trend for Kansas. Oklahoma ended their losing streak and
closed the gap in the trend statistic.

Now six teams in the Top 10 in strength of schedule; all are in the Top 40. Texas Tech at
West Virginia ought to get the Red Raiders into the Top 25.
