Filling in all the possibilities after tu's win over OSU last night 2016-03-04

BLUF (or tl;dr for the “textgens”)
1. MOST SALIENT POINT
With OU winning, they and WVU are in the bracket opposite KU and can't meet the Jayhawks until the final.

2. MOST LIKELY SCENARIO (my personal favorite) –
KU>ISU, WVU>BU, OU>TCU and tu>OSU this Saturday.

WVU=(2),  OU=(3) and ISU=(6) on the opposite side of the bracket and can meet KU in title game;
Winner of tu=(4) v  BU=(5) can meet KU in the Game 7 semifinal, 
assuming KU beats the winner of Game 1 between KSU=(8 ) v OSU=(9) in Game 4 (KU's first).
3. BUT –
IF WVU loses, OU=(2), WVU=(3)

POSSIBILITIES FOR 4-5-6
TU will be a (4) or (5) (the latter only if ISU wins and BU loses) on KU's side of bracket
ISU can be either the (4) (win and BU lose) or (6) (we want the latter, of course, 
  since it means KU wins today)
BU can be (5) (KU side) if ISU loses or (6) if ISU wins and BU loses to WVU.

THE POSSIBILITIES IN DETAIL IF OU WINS
a. WVU > BU, WVU = (2) seed no matter what anyone else does.
b. OU > TCU,  WVU >@BU, OU = (3) seed
c. OU > TCU,  WVU <@BU = a tie for second place in the standings.
    OU = (2) (2-0 v WVU)
    WVU = (3)
       In (b) or (c), WVU and OU can't see KU until title game.
d. [/strike]
e. In (b)[ OU > TCU + WVU >@BU], if tu wins (11-7), but ISU loses to join BU @10-8
    tu = (4) at 11-7
    BU = (5) (2-0 v ISU)
    ISU =(6)
f. In (b)[ OU > TCU + WVU >@BU], if tu and ISU tie @11-7 win and BU is 10-8
    ISU = (4) (1-1 v tu, 1-1 v KU)
    tu = (5) (1-1 v ISU, 0-2 v KU)
    BU = (6)
g. [/strike]
h. [/strike]
i. In (c)[ OU > TCU + WVU <@BU], if tu wins to tie BU @11-7and ISU drops to 10-8
    tu = (4) (1-1 v BU, 0-2 v KU, 2-0 v WVU)
    BU = (5) (1-1 v tu, 0-2 v KU, 1-1 v WVU)
    ISU = (6)
j. [/strike]
k. In (c)[ OU > TCU + WVU <@BU], if tu and ISU win to tie BU @11-7
    BU = (4) (3-1 v ISU+tu)
    tu = (5) (2-2 v BU+ISU)
    ISU = (6) (1-3 v BU+tu)

Another quick edit.

As I post this, WVU is leading BU 38-29 with 16:03 left in the game
