Really unfortunate to not secure a win over another bubble team. That said, despite not winning back to back games all season, our schedule keeps us in the window for an NCAA bid. However it's finally do or die. No question, absolutely have to beat Houston at home next week. And need to beat Tech to finally give our resume another good win. Wisconsin is sitting high in the RPI and beat Iowa so that result is looking nice. Winning both games also gives us a decent shot at the fourth seed (one less game) in the Big 12 tournament as Ok State still faces TCU and Colorado faces WVU.

Should we stumble against Tech, basically have to win the whole tournament. Always possible but not looking realistic, not even considering TCU in the picture. We haven't won consecutive games once, let alone away.

NCAA also takes into account form at the end of the season, so ending strong on at least 3-4 wins (even if we get knocked out in the tournament final/semifinal) could get us there as well.
