Now that practice has started its time for predictions.
I normally breakdown the season, both OOC and Big 12 into games we should win, toss-ups, and likely losses. Here is a look at my projections for this year:
OOC games:
OOC “should wins”: W & M, Tenn Tech, Coppin St., @ CSU, Clev. St., @ NDSU, Kennesaw, Mary-ES, Chicago St. Projected: 9-0
OOC “toss-ups”: @ Rutgers, @ New Mexico, USC in Vegas, WSU in Vegas, @ Xavier. Projected: 2-3.
OOC "likely losses": @ Cal. Projected: 0-1
Projected OOC: 11-4.
Big 12 games:
Big 12 “should wins”: Tech, Baylor, @ ISU, NU, MU, CU, @ NU, ISU, OU. Projected: 8-1
Big 12 “toss-ups”: @ MU, ku, @ CU. Projected 1-2.
Big 12 “likely losses”: @ aTm, @ UT, @ ku, @ OSU. Projected: 1-3.
Projected Big 12: 10-6, tie for 4th in the Big 12.
Big 12 Tournament in OKC:
Projected 2-1.
Projected overall record: 23-11. #8 seed in the Dance.
-
I could go for that.
-
That looks about right to me.
I don't think the #1 seed will like to see us on the other side of the bracket if we are seeded 8th or 9th.....that's for sure.
-
Looks about right to me. Now, here's the Wooly version (replacing the 3 good OOC that were added by Huggy with crappy teams):
OOC games:
OOC “should wins”: W & M, Tenn Tech, Coppin St., Clev. St., Kennesaw, Mary-ES, Chicago St, Crappy U, Crappy U., Crappy U. Projected: 8-2.
OOC “toss-ups”: @ CSU, @ NDSU. Projected: 1-1.
OOC "likely losses": @ Rutgers, @ New Mexico. Projected: 0-2.
Projected OOC: 9-5.
Big 12 games:
Big 12 “should wins”: Tech, NU, MU, ISU, Projected: 3-1
Big 12 “toss-ups”: @ MU, ku, @ CU, Baylor, @ ISU, @ NU, OU, CU. Projected 3-5.
Big 12 “likely losses”: @ aTm, @ UT, @ ku, @ OSU. Projected: 1-3.
Projected Big 12: 7-9, tie for 7th in the Big 12.
Big 12 Tournament in OKC:
Projected 0-1.
Projected overall record: 16-15. Last team out of the NIT.
:P
-
you are being generous in making any road game a "toss-up" slimz.
-
Projected overall record: 16-15. Last team out of the NIT.
blasphemy.
tim weiser is the reason we didn't make the nit.
-
BS do game we choke away at the last minute go in "toss up" or "loss"?
-
11-3 OOC
9-5 B12
2-1 B12 Tourney
22-9 season.
7-8 NCAA seed.
1-1 NCAA Tourney
23-10 overall.
But will that be good enough considering all the high expectations?
-
4th in the Big 12 sounds about right to me.
In march we'll be dancin! :dancin: :dancin: :dancin: :woohoo:
-
snart, sixteen Big 12 games.
-
sixteen Big 12 games
Hmmm.... That will make a difference. So I guess 10-6 which is right in line with most of the other predictions...

You forgot about going to Cal, which might be a loss. I think @ Rutgers is a trap game - it's tough playing in the RAC. And at Xavier will be one of those emotional, last-second, 44-43 type of games. Too close to call. I think four out-of-conference loss wouldn't be too bad, and I think six in the Big 12 sounds about right, too.
-

Good call Jeffrey. Gopowercat's schedule didn't have the Cal game for some reason and I forgot about it.

Playing in the RAC, the PIT, and Xavier in Cinci are 3 extremely tough roadies....I'm very interested to see how those go..anything better than 1-2, and I'm happy.
-
23 wins would be........awesome.
That's a pretty optimistic view fan. I look forward to adding my predictions soon.
-
Gotta admit, some of these opinions by FAN were eye openers for me....considering the source....only serves to get me more jacked.
So, is Clent playing this year or not?
-
I've always been an optimist. I might be a bit too optimistic. OOC could be 10-5 or even 9-6. Big 12 could be 9-7. 1-1 in OKC. Then you're looking at 20-13. 20 wins with a 15 game OOC is very doable with a decent Big 12 season.
-
Its going to be weird talking hoops with more than 6 or 7 other fans consistently weighing in.
-
Are most of the Away OOC games expected to be televised? The Rutgers, New Mexico, and Cal games will be tough. As will the LV tourney, big change from years before when Northern Illinois was our toughest comp.

:loly:
-
Fox Sports MW is contracted to televise at least 10 games that aren't already televised. As of now, the follow 17 games aren't televised, so I'm sure most of the good road games will make it: (* IMO 10 most likely TV games)

I thought the Vegas tourney was going to be televised already by a different network. I most definitely could be wrong though.
-
I'd go with the ksu_fan prediction of 23-11 with an over/under of 2. Those 2 could be a huge difference in making the tourny. I like our chances against Xavier because we should have a lot of fans there and it usually takes them until half way through conference play to get their act together.
-
what's the starting lineup that is going to win us 23?
i still don't see a point guard on this team.
-
Are these predictions with or without Walker?
Or do you think it matters one way or the other?

Overall 21-10 8)

Someone mentioned preseason expectations in another thread, so I thought I'd bump this. I'm satisfied with what I projected so far, though I misplaced some teams in the league, for example I WAY overstated CU based on having Roby back.
-
You could say I pretty much rocked it - including my win over USC.
-
i wish i had participated in these preseason prediction threads. i´m sure i would have been exceptionally accurate.
-
I only did conference:
http://www.ksufans.com/forums/index.php?topic=2013.0
We're +1 compared to my predictions!
-
I said 11-5 and 9-7 in that thread, the 9-7 after Walker got hurt. My original prediction was 10-6 so I'll stick with that.
