Not for oscar, no

Absolutely to make the NCAAs, it's hard to see a win before TCU comes in on 2/1 and then we go @Baylor, home for KU and @WVU.

Sure the remaining six games are all vs the lower half of the league but I don't see this team getting up off the mat after what is almost guaranteed to be a total blowout at WVU to go 6-0 or 5-1 to get the tournament. Especially if Woodard is healthy for OU.

I am not exactly sure how we will get there but 18 wins overall and 6 wins in conference for barest minimum of improvement seems like our destiny.

OSU has 0 wins in conference play.....

The arena will be half full, maybe......

Can't beat that , then you don't deserve Jack.....

In my mind it is.

For Currie and probably 70% of KSU fans, probably not. (And not even close.)

must win for the cats to make the tourney not a must win or bad enough loss for bruceketball to end though

Can you guys imagine the rough ridin' smug look on curries face if we do happen to win? I mean oscar will be as cocky as ever as well. All while they both know that currie mumped up not hiring brad. Either way it's a treat

I mean we should win. We are the 'better' team.

I am hoping for a win and a strong showing. Short of that I am not sure how low my expectations will fall. I do believe we have so much more potential for really good basketball that we are exhibiting lately. Tonight could be decisive in the minds of the team. A good win might restore some confidence. Losing to a team that hasn't won a conference game could be detrimental for the rest of the season.

I agree with this, but I tend to be overly optimistic. This team is good enough to win 3-4 league road games. This team is probably a more complete team than OSU. However, OSU probably has the best player and best shooter on the floor. I also agree that a loss could be very bad.

my desire to get rid of oscar outweighs the joy i would get from this team achieving its ceiling

can you guys imagine 2018 and the cats possibly having new coaches for football and basketball??!!

boosting weber into the tie with martin should be the motivation the players need.

This is no longer accurate.

They had 6066 for ISU last week.

KITNfury · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2017, 12:17:10 PM »

He shouldn't be here next year if we don't make the NCAAs. Up to Brucey on how we get there, if we get there. So must win? No, he could win every game from here out. Realistically, he better win this one. But at same time, I don't get teh feeling Currie likes to admit he was wrong so oscar prolly gets another year either way. So hello apathy.

Wow. Those crap heads already abandoned him? Their first few games were full and rowdy.

osu fans don't deserve underwood, that is a fact and not an opinion.

they'll be out for a cats v cows game. you can't compare that to playing isu.

I mean, is there a scenario where oscar keeps his job and we don't make the tourney? I think there is that scenario, and therefore tonight is not a must win for oscar IMHO

All true.

I don't think I have heard hardly any hotseat discussion. I think oscar can win 5 conf games, fall on his face in the conf tourny, miss the NCAA's and still be just fine for next year. If all that happens, I expect to hear hotseat rumors next year, though. However, if he puts on a decent showing the rest of conf(don't even need upsets, just close games), I think he can still fall on his fat tourny face and miss the NCAAs and be just fine next year.
