That's helpful for us as we're now (I believe) one game behind Houston and Arizona...along with ISU and Texas Tech.

Thanks to ISU beating UH in Ames...
UH is 11-2
UA is 0.5 game back at 10-2
ISU is 1.0 game back at 10-3
KU and TT at 9-3 are both
1.5 games behind UH
1 game behind UA
The key is we are just 1 game back in the LOSS column to both UH and UA with 6 games to go.
KU once again controls its destiny.
Win out and be guaranteed a least a SHARE of the Big 12 regular season crown as that would mean beating both UH in AFH and UA in Tucson, giving both those programs at LEAST 3 losses..
Remenber, there are no tiebreakers for the title. Same record gets everyone a share.
Tiebreakers are solely for seeding in the Big 12 T, and if KU wins out they would be guaranteed to be in the Top 4 seeds (and get the double byes for both Tuesday and Wednesday tournament competition) because KU would hold the first tiebreakers - head-to-head competition - over TT (1-0), UH (1-0) and UA (2-0)

Last Edit: 2 months 3 days ago by HawkErrant. Reason: fix start days for B12T and properly edited ISU's record and standing after beating UH in Ames.

Thanks for all the info HawkE! Super clear and helpful.
Going back to the ISU/Houston game, I thought this little nugget of info was pretty cool! It involves the player who hit the three for ISU to give them the lead for good.

Heise was 3 for 3 from 3-point range hours after sister Taylor Heise scored to help the U.S. Women's Olympic hockey team beat Sweden 5-0 to reach the gold-medal game in Milan.

Your welcome!
And thanks for that tidbit on Heise.
Ain’t it cool news!
I’m going to repost the 3 week gauntlet separately and update it as needed.
Hopefully it will get nothing but good news updates for Jayhawks fans!
