Cats MBB Big 12 conference record predictions

I wouldn't be shocked if we win 7

What are you talking about? Are you doing gymnastics to be contrarian? I know it's hard to come to terms with us being so bad but if you believe in metrics at all, the only way to get to 7 wins is with magic dust.  The numbers tell you we are horrible and that doesn't even account for all of the immeasurables which are seemingly worse than the measurables.

Since the start of the 18 game schedule, less than six wins has happened six times. Two teams per year on average.

Kenpom has us at 5-13. 2 games either direction isn't an oddball variance.

Was that 5-13 before today? Either way an 11 percent variance when you're predicted to only win 27% of your games is pretty significant. I'm okay with using kenpom for this but kenpom can't account for what's happening with Foster and the head coach publicly calling a senior, essentially, a career long loser.

I made a prediction of 7-11 after the Texas Southern game, and that was being generous. Looks like a huge long-shot now.

Yeah. But winning 7 conference games wouldn't be much more shocking than what's happened so far. I don't expect it to happen, but wouldn't be shocked if it did.

  at this team competing with Kansas. Self is going to mop the floor with Weber.

[Stevesie60]

I'd like to think we will win one. My guess is we'll be ahead at halftime in more than half.

We've been ahead at half in each our past three games (all losses).

Let's revisit this on Wednesday night. Also I didn't mean to put that flush thing in response to your post, didn't even notice it was there, must have fat fingered it, sorry.

jesus christ.  what an ass.

definitely not.  it's much easier to go from horrible to mediocre than from mediocre to good.  and the more obvious and glaring a problem is, the easier it should be to fix.  other than a limited number of ballhandlers, i don't see anything about this team that can't be fixed and fixed pretty easily (disclaimer, didn't see today's game, haven't really watched them all that much all year).

We've been ahead at half in each our past three games (all losses).

We were losing at half against Georgia.

I hate oscar. Will pi in person when I see him. Let him know what his m.o. is.

[Canary]

Come on, SDK. How do you hate oscar?  He's not doing a great or even good job, but he is not someone to hate,  jfc

[Stevesie60]

I think we win zero games. oscar loses everyone and we crumble.

[Mixed-Nutz]

Team is lost, I don't think the team will stay at the level it is at. It is either going to go one way or the other.

They will either buy in and play at a higher level than 5-13 or they will imploded and struggle beyond all belief worse than 5-13.

NO THEY ARE DEFINITELY GOING EXACTLY 5-13.

So you think it's highly unlikely they will go exactly 5-13? Everyone agrees with you.

1-17, we beat KU in Lawrence.
