just looked at kstate's record and realized that they're likely to end up pretty close to .500 overall. so we need a thread to track the effort to get under that mark for a historic third straight year.
-
Will oscar bail on his sinking ship?
-
What?
-
i think we've positions ourselves nicely to go 2-7 in the month of January. February (+1 game in March) the schedule makers did not do us any favors...I could see us easily going 4-6, possibly even 5-5 in that 10 game stretch.
Potential Ws that are do not require much wishful thinking:
Old Miss
TCU x2
OSU x2
Ws that require a little wishful thinking but are still very much in the realm of possibility since they are both home games:
WVU
OU
My gut tells me that we will win 5 of those 7 games mentioned above.
-

Not before the court is named after him.
-
big game tonight. if they could somehow lose this one, it'll set them up very nicely to stay under .500.
-
Biggest game of the sub .500 season
-
we did it! amazing.
-
Went from moral victory to victory, thanks oscar.
-
Feels good
-
classic trap game tomorrow. it's fine to get all fired up after a big come-from-ahead upset, but records are made when you lose the ones you're supposed to lose.
-
I'm confident we've got this
-
This one got away, maybe next time.
-
it was predictable. you understand how it happens. but that doesn't make it hurt any less.
right back where we started.
-
After watching mcguirl cry in the post game presser I’m confident this is a below500 squad

They all cut their hair and look baptized hard now. Didn’t see the crying post game, that doesn’t help support my narrative lol.
-
Huge letdown game
-
Trap game for the cats.
-
crushing win.
-
is it too early in the season for a must lose game? yes. is tomorrow a must lose game? also yes.
-
This dream is effectively over with a win tomorrow, and I’m giving the cats a 40% chance of putting the nail in the coffin
-
the schedulemakers did the fans no favors this weekend, and i only managed to watch a few minutes, but it appears our cats were able to overcome a hot day at the nets from pack and secure the loss.
not gonna sugarcoat it though, projections still have the cats easily clearing .500. we're gonna have to use this loss to get back on the schneid or we risk this thread getting shutdown by mid-february.
-
oscar gon oscar and pull the W against Baylor
-
magnificent, heroic loss. no one, not one single person, thought they could pull it off, but they did and it changes the whole season outlook.
i haven't run all the numbers yet, but my guess is the cats are now favored to pull off a sub .500 season. just incredible.

Depending on how generous osu is feeling…we could be staring down the barrel of an un-feated February. History awaits
-
Big opportunity to get back on the wagon tonight.
-
no shame in winning this one. just regroup and come out strong for the next few.
-
I think 5 conference wins saves oscar.

oscar is immortal, there isn’t anything other than oscar defining his journey.

oscar isn't really about percentage of games won so much as total of games won.

He’s relishing his last days, only has a few left.

damn, after reading that quote, i would run through a wall for oscar. maybe in his retirement, coach ham and potatoes face can hire oscar to be a motivational speaker like that other pound the stone hack.
i’m so pumped right now, hulkamania is runnin wild

being as how we've arrived at the midpoint of the season, a lot of kstate fans have been asking for a summary of how things are looking for the cats chances to stay under .500. well, here it is:
the cats are mired a game over .500 with 9 regular season conference games to go. if they finish 3-6 or better, we all but guarantee ourselves a sub .500 finish barring a catastrophe in kansas city. if we finish 4-5, we'd have to lose the first post-season game to hit our mark. anything worse than 4-5 and we'll have given ourselves no chance.
"no problem, all we have to do is match our first half of the season performance", you might be thinking. well think again. the basketball raters are rating our second half schedule as even tougher than the meat cleaver we ran through in the first nine games, meaning we need to be a little more determined, a little more focused, and it'd be helpful if the ball bounced off the rim a few more times.
so, make no mistake, tonight's game is a big game. tcu might just be tcu, but it's a road game and we've got to make a habit of losing those.
-
We have to have faith our bigs will pull through and barring any late game 3 pointer the Catz will prevail.
-
what a frustrating team. i really don't think they have it in them.
-
they are the most fun to watch team in many years for this cat maniac
-
Honestly last night was probably the last time this season I watch the game in person with clams bc his frothing at the mouth and table pounding was getting embarrassing. Dude was unhinged
-
alternative facts
-

pack is a fun player, even though he is ruining the season.
-
i can appreciate that he is putting his agenda of becoming world famous over oscar’s agenda of burning our program into the ground
some of the people on the team are way too obviously pro-oscar (mcgurl)
-
oscar just needs one more to get (at least) another year, where will it come from?

McGuirl had a career game tonight, really bruced it up. Qatz can still bring it home!!! :ksu:

still a long shot, but this thread is back from the dead.

Us losing to OU is a long shot?

I believe. :pbj: (ftp://:pbj:)
-
Us losing to OU is a long shot?
yes.
there's also the threat/opportunity of an as of yet unscheduled game to account for.
-

There will be no other games. Even if we beat OU and lose to Tech we have to win one in KC just to finish .500, have to win two in the tournament to finish above.
-
There will be no other games. Even if we beat OU and lose to Tech we have to win one in KC just to finish .500, have to win two in the tournament to finish about.
i thought they were searching for another game, is that over?
we're 14-14 now, so they'd have to lose the first game in kc if they finish 1-1 (.500 is not under .500). assuming no postseason games.

It fell through. If they wanted a game bad enough they could schedule Oklahoma State, they were looking for another game too.
-
well that's a bit of good news, i think.
-
at this time in the season, it's not an exaggeration to say this is a must-lose game.
-
losing one of the next two will probably do it. we've got a chance!
-
Super sarcastic inside joke that only Sys is in on
-

after they started out the second half of the season on the wrong foot, no one, and by that i mean me, thought they could come back and hit their mark. what a glorious five game streak to close out the season!
of course, there's still work to be done and the schedulemakers are somehow still threatening to do us no favors, but it's appropriate to step back and savor this moment, this achievement.
-
six straight!
this team made fools of a lot of people, myself being one of them. congratulations to the team.

with the disclaimer that OSU and WVU have a chance to spoil it: as of right now the cats hold the distinction of being the only team in the conference with a losing record. pretty amazing stuff and it would be nice to see oscar go out with another feather in his cap

pretty sure OSU's record is a stone cold lock for this season

I hope with the new coach, we have less weird ass threads like this.

1 year ban from post season. Don't remember what NCAA violations they got busted for.

I was really hoping we'd make the tournament this year. But I also enjoyed this thread.
-
I enjoyed the Kenpom top 30 no tourney thread more, but this one was also pretty good.
-
So good that neither of you contributed to this 3 page thread

I said he does this and he legitimately got mad at me, tread easy.

listen you can either get angry (?), cape up (wacks), become apathetic (most people), or have some fun with it (sys)

i am pleased to offer the guarantee, to anyone concerned, that i was genuinely rooting for kstate to finish under .500, and i'm pleased that they were able to do so.

Congrats Sys :cheers:
