The Big XII has two teams on the bubble: Oklahoma and Nebraska. Both lost at home last night.

The Huskers got routed in front of a near-sellout crowd at the Devaney Center. The Huskers have an RPI now around 50, but they also have some nice quality wins over Baylor and Iowa State. With two easy games left, Nebraska should finish 10-6 in conference, and that will likely get them in.

The Sooners lost by 13 to Texas Tech. Oklahoma still has another tough game at Texas, so it will probably finish 8-8 in the Big XII. It will have to hope that its good December stretch is enough to overcome its mediocre conference performance.

I would guess, however, that unless Oklahoma upsets Texas, it will need a big win in the conference tournament to earn its ticket. That will mean that the Sooners, as a predicted 7 seed, will need to take out the 2 seed on March 9. That's a tall order.
