A successful season?
« on: March 17, 2013, 08:51:45 AM »
If k-state wins no more games this year, was it still a successful season?  I honestly don't know what I would say.

How about just one more game? Does that make much of a difference?

For most here, I'd say K-State needs 2 more wins. 1 more win will satisfy some, but there will still be disappointment. A first round loss should be disappointing to everybody.

I think the season expectations for most college basketball fans are pretty simple; play good basketball during the season to get a high seed, then in the tournament at least play to your seed. The Cats gave us a bonus conference title this year as well, so that helps, but at the end of the day most college basketball seasons will be judged by March, and you set up your chances of success in March in large part by what you do during the season.

It's a successful season no matter what happens. The conference title was very nice even if the league was pure dogshit.

I am pleased with the conference championship, because it was necessary to fulfill the prophecy.  oscar is following his script.

I mean, I hope we win. I would prolly be really mad if we lose. I would feel like the season was a failure.

I said before the season this team should win 25 games and make it to the sweet 16.

If we exit early, we'll be all meltdown for a day or two, then say, oh well, we won a title after being picked 6th.

If we make the Sweet 16, we can avoid the meltdown.

Either way, we'll ultimately decide this was a successful season.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

can we be clear about why we were picked 5th or 6th or whatever by the coaches?  it's because they all thought oscar rough ridin' sucks and Baylor was going to be good, not because we had a bad team coming back.

I think it was more a new coach/new system thing, but your right in that they drastically underestimated oscar, and that we'd have been picked higher with Frank.  Probably 3rd or 4th.

It's fun that we're all agreed we won't win anything but are arguing about how long until we should lose until celebrating. Thanks, successful season!

Pete is right.  This is exactly what was predicted.  Wait'll Will plays significant minutes and Angel has to completely carry the scoring.

The important thing is we're happy knowing we're going to lose at a respectable place.

Generally I'd say the season so far is a success. Could be more, but we got more in the pro column than the con by a lot. I'd like to think in terms of basketball our goal should be compete for and occasionally win a conference title, and make it at least to the second weekend in the tourney. We've done the former, now it's time to do the latter.
