Why did ISU get 1st round bye?

When SOONERS tied for second?

Huh? They didn't get a bye. They just don't know who their opponent is (they get the winner of UT-TTU), whereas we do know we get OSU.

Big 12 tourney bracket

They don't get a bye, but I realy thought beating Kansas gave us the #2 seed.

The bracket has ISU as the #2 seed, and us as the #3 seed.

 

[MiccoMacey]

Well, I'll be. We're third.

would be curious to know the tie breaker on this...even conference w/l. I would think it would then go to rpi or bpi and we should be ahead of them.

I believe it's the overall record versus the teams that tied for 6th. At least that's what the Big XII bracket generator said.
