This puts Baylor at 3-1, adding them to the pile of 1-loss teams. LIkewise, the Cinci win puts both Cinci and TCU at 2 losses.
If BYU hangs on to beat ISU, THEY will both have 2 losses (fingers crossed).
It's quite possible that by the end of tonight, only Tech will be undefeated at 3-0, with KU and Baylor a 1/2 game back at 3-1.
Tech plays AT Houston tomorrow, so if luck holds out, KU is in a 3-way tie for the conference lead heading into Saturday's game.

All of the rest of the teams playing tomorrow are 1-2 on the conference season, so there will be more separation, although it seems like the bottleneck at 2-2 will be fairly huge.
In other news: we got a road win. Put it in the bank, guys. Life won't be easy in Morgantown. Glad we have an extra day before that one.

It will be interesting to see how KU does in Morgantown with Huggins no longer on the sidelines. So far this year the Mountaineers have not done well. Hopefully the offensive mechanics KU displayed tonight -- 4th scorer found, and all 5 starters in double figures -- will be on display again in "Almost Heaven" on Saturday.

Oh, and it would be a 4-way tie for now (not 3-way) if the Cougars take down TT tonight. (KU, KSU, TT, BU all 3-1)
