We had a 99% chance to beat Texas Southern yesterday with less than 10 seconds to go. He also predicts our next and only win the remainder of the season will be January 14th against Texas Tech.
Statistics schmatistics...

Meh. This band can't even correctly predict the outcome of a 4-point game with only 10 seconds left.

I think that's great news. First off, the bbsing would be incredible. Secondly, John Currie would be forced to either fire oscar or deal with a full fledged riot, both of which I would enjoy immensely.

It's almost too good to be true.

It would be a Festivus miracle.

Hey dum dums, if Weber does "kenpom" the season that is not good news. It's almost the worst case scenario because you know next year he will almost certainly do better. Going from let's say 2-16 to 8-10 would be seen as signs of amazing improvement. This would buy him at least three more years I bet. On the other hand the other trajectory makes it much easier to get rid of him (if this is indeed desired). A 8-10 season this year followed by 2-16 would likely doom him unless something amazing happened the very next season.
-
you don't think 2-16 gets him fired? I am afraid the 'ship in '12 makes you correct.
I will say if you don't want to stay on the oscar 6-12 to 10-8 yo-yo for the next 4 or 5 years a 2-16 has to happen sometime
-
i don't know if 2-16 gets him fired or not- no one knows that data at this point in time because quite frankly- it's an unknown. with that said, if this kenpom guy is correct and we only win 1 game this season in conference we all have to ask ourselves- "what's going on in with this year's team?" "what's this team's ceiling?" "why did we get so bad or are we better than the record would indicate?" "has this crowd lost this team?"
find the answers and find the solution(s) that seem to plague this cat team hoop dreams.

good grief, we won't go 2-16.

I would hope so, otherwise he puts even more emphasis into scheduling over recruiting and we start the dance Wooly did for his last 3 years or so.
-

prolly not, oscar is lucky the start to big 12 play is pretty soft. If we had the last five of @TCU, @BU, vs KU, vs ISU and @UT to start instead of finish oscar losing the team would be a good bet.

what's the conference record kenpom is predicting?
The first post in this thread said 1-17. I'm not sure where to find that, though.

I think he means that there is only 1 game in which KSU is favored. However, KenPom's predictive conference record will be more like 3-15 or something.

I wasn't saying we would go 2-16 or whatever. I was just saying that people who wanted something like that to happen (this season) in hopes that it would hasten oscar's departure are likely mistaken. The opposite would probably happen in fact.

Yeah, what you described is what happened at Illinois. Having the terrible season followed by the rebound season got him more time. I was wind-ing beneath your wings, chings.
-
What I'm gathering here is why settle for 2 when 0 are available?

OK, I change my vote. Just pencil me in for whatever gets him out of here the fastest. So, I guess I am rooting for what, like between 6 and 8 wins this year, and then rooting for between 2 and 6 next year?
-
what's the conference record kenpom is predicting?
5-13.
-
thx sys.
Bottom line is oscar is back next year unless there's some sort of vague NCAA violation going into an important game.
-
the big 12 championship is still available
if we win it, does that buy oscar more time as the mayor of katsville?

Lifetime contract if he wins the conference.

I don't think we'll go 2-16 either, but I do think it'd get oscar fired. That's just an absolute disaster of a season. Assuming we win against Georgia, which is probably way too much to assume at this point, that would give oscar 10 wins during the regular season. That would be the worst season (in terms of W/L %) since the one that got Tan Tom fired, and for the second worst season we'd have to go all the way back to the 1914-1915 season. So yes, 2-16 would most likely get his ass canned, because it would be historically bad.
-
Nope.

Woolridge at KState:

If oscar does worse than any of this he should be fired outright.
-
There also would be a ton of drama coming out of that K-State locker room if we go 2-16. Mutiny 2.0 would be on the horizon, awkward player/coach beefs like oscar always had at Illinois, rumors of players getting into fistfights. There's no way he'd survive. Like Rusty said though, no way we go 2-16, so it's kind of a pointless discussion.

Bread, how did that happen? My 30 second perusal of statsheet.com for the those 2 seasons makes me think it was Mike Davis and Mike Tisdale making big FR to Soph improvements to give some much better post play to compliment Chet, McCamey and Meacham that were already decent on the perimeter.
If that is the case I don't see that happening next year. Assuming there are no transfers and all the perimeter guys are back for 15-16 our post players will be Hurt, Bolden, DJamer (if his foot heals) and the 3 star project big from Texas. I mean, this team can hardly find shots in the half court vs mid and low majors with Gip drawing double teams.

They played really good defense and the big 10 outside of MSU was crap that year. They were lollers bad on offense. I was so mad about it at the time.

How was our team so much better last season? Did Will Spradling really make that much of a difference?
-
I think a lot of people (wrongly IMO) downplayed the importance of Shane. He was a good player for us, but he was also the convenient scapegoat. In other words, losing Shane was a bigger deal than losing Sprads. I guess a lot of people convinced themselves that losing him would be addition by subtraction somehow because he smiled too much.

I thought he was great, but oscar kept him on the bench too much for him to be that big of a difference maker.

It seems wrong given how well Nino has played this season but Shane's threat as a 3 pt shooter seems to be more valuable to bruceketball. He also defended the rim much better than Nino and Hurt for that matter.
I mean, if someone said Nino was going to give us 13&5 while shooting 55%/75% in only 28 mpg before the season I would think that increase alone would be enough to keep this team at a similar level to last season given the proven guys I think we have in Foster and Gip.

yep.
Of course, Will knew all the plays and where to be on defense, unlike Shane.

That's not true
-
The biggest problem with this team is lack of effort.
A very distant second is the lack of an outside threat other than Foster. I'm in favor of letting Hurt jack up threes to see what he can do. The stroke looks good.

Sock outed.

Texas Southern just lost to 6-9 New Mexico State. Let that sink in.

Well, at least Kenpom predicted it? :dunno:

btw the "let that sink in" line (which is looking more and more asinine upon concurrent viewings) was mainly aimed at any tucks who stumble upon this thread but whatever.

"for a minute." your welcome @catstowin

Yeah, although I kind of hope reno doesn't see it because his posts are a treasure trove of unintentional excellence.
-
Whats made it worse is expectations. Like at the beginning of last season, I had no hope of being any good, and then Foster happened. This year I expected to be good, and gained a lot of false hope during the close game with Arizona, only to watch it all come crashing down.

:dunno: I have very high expectations for KState basketball and I will not accept a return to Woolridgeyness.

Decoursy says that the Big 12 is 2nd best conference, and we should get 7 bids. This will be color printed and laminated by oscar and tacked to Currie's office door.
http://www.sportingnews.com/ncaa-basketball/story/2014-12-29/top-conferences-college-basketball-ncaa-2014-season-acc-big-12-big-ten-big 10/slide/2
RPI rank: No. 1
Record vs. RPI top-10 leagues: 34-20
Biggest non-league wins: Kansas at Georgetown; Iowa State at Iowa; Oklahoma over UCLA
Championship contenders: None
Final Four contenders: Texas
Tourney contenders: Kansas, West Virginia, Baylor, Iowa State, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU
Likely bids: Seven
Overview: It might seem harsh to leave the Big 12 entirely out of the national championship mix, especially after Texas played so well at Kentucky without point guard Isaiah Taylor. Perhaps his return will merit a change in that position, but the offense isn’t likely to be quite dynamic enough. The Big 12 is a league in which nearly every victory will be hard to earn, and one of the few high-level conferences in which a double round-robin schedule is in place. So this will be the most fun league, but the absence of national title challengers pushes it down a notch.
-
I think winning the conference gets oscar at least one more year. If we split it, drop the probability factor one alpha and two betas. If it's only a third of the title, I'm not so sure.
if we go 1-17 in conference I think he's on the hot seat.

Nothing says best conference like not title contenders and ooc wins against bottom feeding power 5 teams. What a dipshit
