i can't even imagine praying for .500. If this team is going to suck I'd rather it just burn to the ground so we can start over and rebuild it right.

I think we have a better shot at winning in Lincoln than we do winning in Boulder. Granted, I don't think we have a great shot at either.

I think 10-6 is optimistic, 8-8 is realistic honestly. I think this is how it goes:
14-8 (2-5)
NEB - W
@ISU - W
@CU - L
ku - L
OU - W
@NU - L
MU - W
@TX - L
ISU - W

20-11 (8-8)
probably have to win at least a game in the tournament. we would probably be a 6seed and get OU/Tech/ISU. I think we can beat those guys and play probably aTm or MU in the second round. I like our chances against aTm in a neutral site game.

Quote from: Some guy on ESPN if what you've predicted happens.

K-State is playing well right now.  After a rough start to their conference season, they've gone on to win 5 of their last 7.  The loss to Iowa State really hurt them, but they have a nice win over Missouri, albeit a home game, and with a win in the Big 12 tournament they should be on the right side of the bubble.

Title: Re: Praying for 8-8
Post by: Bookcat on January 30, 2011, 09:35:01 PM

who are we going to beat on the road? CU, ISU, NU?

I say nay to all three. ISU maybe...maybe if we are even close as Hoiberg has shown he's a Wooly-ite when the chips are down.

Post by: KSUsteve13 on January 30, 2011, 11:26:05 PM

I think were a great team. we just hit the hard part of our schedule early in the season. We can beat isu cu and nu on the road. :emawkid:

I'm trying to stay optimistic for 8-8, but I'm guessing it will probably be 7-9.

the big 12 tournament is a big wildcard for sure.  likely will decide our fate more than anything else.
