Wednesdays, almost halfway through
« on: January 24, 2018, 03:57:24 PM »
With all teams having played 8 games, there is clear separation between the Wednesdays and the Thursdays.  Can KSU still claw its way into a Wednesday slot?  It will be tough to unseat Baylor and ISU having already won in their respective homes.  Opportunities remain however to lose on the road to OSU and TCU.  The remaining home-and-away series with Texas also looms large.  Stay tuned.

Now officially at the halfway point, the 'cats have moved to just one game out of wednesday top seed position.  Next week's game in Austin is HUGE.

'cats take care of business on the road, while osu shows signs of not having what it took to get the berth.

A key 3-game stretch upcoming - the road games at texas and osu are huge, but oscar also can't afford another slip-up against a top-10 team at home this coming saturday.

The current standings look to be very reflective of how those good these teams actually are, maybe swap WVU and OU, maybe swap K-State and UT, otherwise that's perfect.

And those two pairings have head-to-head games this week!  :excited:

Leaving this to default sagarin expected results, KSU would get a top wednesday seed.  :ksu:

But as we know, games aren't one in some dork predicto model, and certainly not from some flood & mold aggie's interpretation of it.  Keep rowing the boat, oscar.

It's likely going to come down to the TCU rematch.

If we finish 2-6, which would actually be 2-8, oscar is gone

I'm fine with either result,  I'd like to see us in the tourney but I'm feeling better and better about mustang and his ability to hire a decent bball coach

2-6 seems pretty improbable.

i may be.


20% seems a little high, but that's probably because i haven't internalized the information contained in the -38 mov as uncritically as sagarin and kenpom have.

OSU bounces back tonight and earns the L to ensure that tomorrow night's KSU-Texas loser will remain a full game out.  :frown:

Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

Damaging W tonight from oscar, making the 2/21 rematch against texas in the fOOD a virtual must-lose.

The 'cats can get on track by losing these next two before destroying isu.

There will be no parking Thursday near the sprint center so this is suboptimal

If oscar wins at osu and vs texas, you're best off trying to get a short-term lease on a place down there that has parking included.
