What are y'all thinking happens Monday?
I can't bring myself to believe that we'll be totally left out of the dance, but believe that our flameout at the tourney probably dooms us to a Sisyphean task at the regionals. At first I was thinking second seed at LSU but now am feeling vibes in the direction of Fowurt Wurth. What say you? Or should we not talk about it at all for fear of jinxing?

We're certainly in the tournament.
Probably a #3 seed now, but possibly a #2 seed.
I'm hoping for the UH regional.
It would be fitting to win their regional this year.
Go Owls!

We're down to #38 in RPI, 4-4 vs. Top 50, 13-12 vs. Top 100, 6-4 last 10 games.

I agree we're reasonably safe at this point, thanks to our regular season championship, but by any other means our resume is the epitome of a "bubble team".

Looks like a re-do of last year. It would be fun, but I doubt it will happen.

I'm guessing Rice will get sent to LSU as punishment.

I very much doubt it. If UT wins the Big12 tourney (the only way they make the post-season), they'll likely be sent to UH to ensure sellout there; they don't need UT to sell out in College Station....and UT would be a totally unfair #4 seed to send to a likely national seed.

While I think we still could be sent to Baton Rouge, I'm increasing thinking we'll be sent to the DFW area (TCU or DBU). BTW, anyone know whether the DBU campus is closer to Love Field or DFW airport?

Edit: Never mind-- American Airlines doesn't fly into Love Field. 03-hissyfit

16 miles from Love Field, 19 from DFW.

This. Three games into the Big 12 tournament, three complete games from Longhorn pitchers.

Two wins against an RPI top 50 team all year and an RPI of 90.

They'll be a 4 seed, and College Station is closest. They don't deserved to be rewarded with any place their fans can attend.

Well, i was wrong: it will be Denver v Maryland. Both of today's semifinals were one-goal games, one in overtime.

Sorry, but I cannot see them doing that to the Aggies, even if they're not a national seed. IMO, should UT win tomorrow I suspect they'll be sent packing out of state, and go to the lowest seeded host site; perhaps, USC, CSF or Oregon State, whichever gets the 2nd Western host site.

If UT wins, they will stay in Texas. The committee want to minimize travel and sell tickets. Lots of spots in Texas regionals to fill.

A&M will sell out no matter who's there. DBU?
