There isn't any difference between a 6 and a 7 seed in a first round game IMO..Yes OU has overacheieved at times this season..But they've also had to fight through some key injuries. When they were healthy they knocked off some very good OOC teams earlier in the year.. They accumulated a 8-7 conference record in arguably the best overall conference in NCAA basketball this season..This isn't coming from me, but many of the expert analysts have said that the Big 12 is the best overall conference. Judging by how few teams the ACC is putting in the tournament, I think the Big 12, and maybe the Big East have a good argument for number 1.sooners probably deserved a 7, no big foul... they've overachieved and played well against the top 50 this year, but i'd be shocked if they give louisville a game (that's if they get by st joe's)...

OU's guard play was much better in the first third of the season..I'm really not sure what happened after that..The Sooners were the real deal early on. I think their higher seeding in the tourney was based mostly on this early performance and a couple key OOC wins...The facts are, OU is overseeded. But it's not based on performance like people are saying, but based on injuries..part of the reason i say they overachieved is because of all the injuries, plus keith clark leaving the team because of grades... also because it's tough to make the tourney with the guard play they've had for much of the year... capel and griffin deserve a ton of credit
if willie warren is as good as advertised and blake comes back maybe we'll be talkin about a team who can make a deep run next year...
