Big 12 Tournament Update - Day 3

Kansas beat Oklahoma State this evening setting up a picture-perfect Day 4 in the Big 12 Tournament. Four teams are undefeated. Those teams are meeting up tomorrow. The winners of those two games meet on Sunday at 1 PM in the championship game. The matchups for tomorrow's games:

• 1st game (10 AM scheduled start): Baylor (0-2) vs. Texas Tech (0-2)
• 2nd game (1 PM scheduled start): Texas (2-0) vs. Nebraska (2-0)
• 3rd game (5 PM scheduled start): Oklahoma (0-2) vs. Oklahoma State (0-2)
• 4th game (8 PM scheduled start): Kansas (2-0) vs. Missouri (2-0)

You gotta think that the winner of tomorrow's Texas/Nebraska game will have the upper hand on Sunday since tomorrow's Kansas/Missouri game will likely go on until about 11 (if not later). This is all getting rather exciting, doncha think? I'm enjoying the heck out of it all.

By the way, FSN Southwest is planning on airing the first two games tomorrow. They're dubbing them semi-final games even though they're not. There's no such thing in the new tournament format. Although, due to the way things have turned out to this point, the 2nd and 4th games tomorrow end up acting like semi-final games. Odd how that goes, eh? Also, they've got the start time for the Texas game listed at 1:30. It may well be that the game starts at 1:30. Hopefully, if it starts earlier, FSN will go ahead and pre-empt the "Big 12 Showcase" they've got scheduled and air the whole game.
