Dude, we're KSU fans.  Knowing our luck, after our 2-0 start over two solid teams, we'll end up 2-14.

That's why it's included as an option.  I note that you didn't actually choose it though ....

10-6 or 9-7 is my prediction.

14-2
I remember when we were dominant in the Big 8.
I was in Manhattan during Hartman, Rolando, Nealy, Henson..........Ahearn!

We may be back.

Best sign our student fan base is back has to be the chickens on the floor.

I think 12-4 is the "optomistic" end and 9-7 is the "pessimistic" end.  Anything outside of this range would really suprise me.  I think there is about a 70% chance we end up with 10 or 11 wins.  20% we end up with 12 or 9.  10% for all other options.  Just my imHo fwiw.

KSU looks like a 13-3 team right now but I think the next 3 games will go a long way in giving us an idea of how they are going to play further down the road.

KSU looks like a 13-3 team right now

This is really not doable unless we beat ku once.  I think we almost certainly get a loss @ Mizzou coming off the first ku game.  What would it take to get us up for the roadtrip/daygame that soon after that game?  There is really no way we don't drop at least one other game the rest of the season.  Just imo!

In KSU's first 8 conf games, we go on the road 3 times (OU, CU, MU), in our last 8 we go on the road 5 times (Tech, NU, Baylor, ku, isu) and have to face UT at home on a Monday after a Sat @ Baylor....the last half of the season is brutal and that's usually when freshman hit the wall.  We probably need to go 7-1 in the first 8 to have a shot at anything over 10 wins.  I still think 9-7.

Loses to OSU and Texas? Get the crack smokers off here.
12-4 at worst.

There is a good chance of a let down @ mizzou, but ksu matches up incredibly well with mizzou, they have no big men, and no rebounding. They play up and down, and ksu can play that kind of game. Who is gonna guard Walker/Beas?

I pretty much agree with that.  I was optimistic and picked 11 in the poll.

I really don't think 11 is being really optimistic.  Right now if you look at the rest of the games and you look at how everyone else is playing as of right now, it's hard to find 6 losses.

That is why I said 'looks like right now'.

I see 4-5 losses probably but they've been impressive the first two games.


the MU game will be intersting.

we happen to own MU.  not worried.

my brain only goes back to 03-04, but we're 5-3. ownage.

i voted 16-0.  think x's + o's?
                                                            martin love's them.
until we play somebody worth a crap i will maintain the undefeated conf seas intact.

aggies is correct that the mu game will be an interesting game for us, if we weren't so freaking good imo.

I went with 10-6.  We have amazing talent but I can't shake the feeling of disappointment I've seen through Wooly and Asbury.  And I can't forget that blowout by Xavier.  We're going to lose some games we shouldn't, unless the guys prove me wrong.  I've been gradually losing optimism for KSU basketball through Asbury and Wooly, but it completely died the night UMKC ran Wooly out of the gym.  About the only thing that will bring it back is a huge win over ku, hopefully in Bramlage.  And I don't see that happening any time soon.  But, Go Cats.

I went with 10-6, but I am optimistic that this team is getting "it" now.   I also like the fact that offensive structure is getting a lot of open looks and if KSU can continue to shoot the 3 ball well, and Walker continues to hit from out there . . . KSU will be very dangerous because teams will have to extend their defense.   

I am also for continuing to push the ball based on the way KSU ran the break against A&M.

Post by: Javert on January 22, 2008, 04:15:13 PM
ku (x2)

2 out of 3 of: @ ISU (look like they may be tougher than expected at home), @ NU (Maric! + last year's disaster), @ CU (coming off of aTm test).

Either Texas or @ MU.

At Baylor.

So 10-6 sounds about right.

I don't care that it's a new coach, new team, new attitude, new talent level, etc....Until proven otherwise, this is the annual kiss of death for K-State basketball.

Post by: cireksu on January 22, 2008, 05:02:36 PM
Yeah, it's hard for me to believe they will do it until I see it.  But as was apparent during the A&M game, we actually have not one but 2 guys that are insanely more talented than almost all of the guys they will go up against which makes me think that we will be able to close out games if we can build late leads.  I still think right now at 2-0 anything less than 10 will suprise me.

Post by: TheShocker on January 22, 2008, 05:09:53 PM
You guys could go 15-1, with the only game that you should reasonably expect to lose being the game at ku. Every other game is very winnable as the Big 12 sucks major dog nuts this year. The stars have aligned perfectly for KSU and you're now sitting as the 2nd most talented team in the Big 12. Now it's up to Martin to see if he can take advantage.

I voted 12-4, I am like any great KSU fan, forever an optimist when things are going well, the sky is falling when things are down. 

I like our chances, but the back half of the schedule does worry me some.

I am standing by my 12-4.
