Though we aren't necessarily on the bubble I enjoyed this snip it from ESPN's bubble watch
Oklahoma St [17-7 (7-5), RPI: 21, SOS: 29]
Bubble teams of the world, take heed: This is how you bolster a bid. On
Saturday, the Cowboys upset Kansas at home 67-62 after giving up 41
points in the first half. Maybe the two-day turnaround was a plus,
because OSU stayed hot against Baylor Monday, scoring 74 points in 64
possessions even if you don't count the awkward deflection Oklahoma
State scored against itself in the first half. (It was pretty funny.)
Those two wins, against teams with an average RPI of 5.5, take Oklahoma
State from roughly a No. 9-seed into much safer territory. If it weren't
for an undercooked nonconference schedule, we'd be thinking lock.
Either way, no team in the country had a better three days.
