KSU used to make a big deal of this. I thought they used to claim it was a record, but maybe I'm misremembering.
In 2008-09, the Wildcats men's basketball team secured their 63rd straight home winning season with their win over North Dakota State on Jan. 2.
http://www.kstatesports.com/facilities/bramlage-coliseum.html
5-2 at the fOOD in the non-con, with 9 conference home games and possibly the NIT. Can the streak reach 69?

If Georgia and Texas Southern are the types of teams that are walking out of Bramlage with wins these days, then I doubt we go 4-5 at home during conference play.
-
That alone should get oscar fired. He's not bad, but historically bad.

I also recall us claiming this as a record and if oscar snaps that streak he should be canned immediately.

Currie is amazing at money but terrible at coaches and hiring coaches.
How many coaches does he get to hire before he too is canned? Also, would he leave before getting fired cuz he's a super douche bitch (look at that face) if he heard footsteps?

It's not up to him, unless he's saved for rainy years.
We've long proposed he be co-AD in charge of behind-the-scenes bookkeeping, while almost anyone else be co-AD in charge of human interaction and other matters.

he is the Animal's guy, it will likely take him mumping the football hire at a minimum

Can I get a list of other terrible coaches he has hired? To date, he hired oscar, the women's basketball coach, the men's golf coach, the women's soccer coach, the women's tennis coach and the cross country coach (holy crap, has he been busy).
All of these coaches, with the exception of oscar, just wrapped up their first year or will have their first year this season. At this point can we really say he is terrible at hiring coaches?

Never thought it was a big deal. What it really meant was Wooldy managed to schedule a bunch of poofs for pre-conference home games.

"Scheduling is more important than recruiting."
-
69 should not be that hard to reach lol omg amritie, guys?
-
If oscar fails to keep this one going than he should be gone. Not that it is something so great, but that it is probably the most pud streak to keep alive in college basketball. That plus the pride tucks glean from it make it the perfect talking point.
-
Does anyone have an Asbury/Wooldridge-era media guide in which this thing was promoted?
-
The team has also posted a winning record at home every year since 1946.
From wikipedia. I'm sure it's in the current media guide somewhere.

It's not. They went away from it once we started making ncaa tournaments and stuff. But it's not just that the streak exists that I want to see; we already know that. I remember KSU promoting it as best ever or best active streak. That always seemed absurd to me, like how did bluebloods ever have a losing record at home for a season?

At least you saved me the trouble. I was about to look through the printed version. Funny, the marketing worked. I remember teenage me eating it up as a real point of pride. I do remember it used to be pushed hard. That and the Sporting News' top 25 programs of all-time ranking.

Yep. I remember having a printed-off schedule, probably from the computer lab, and highlighting the home games to keep tabs on those specific W's & L's, because extending that streak was the best we could aspire to at the time.

For instance KU went 8-18 in 1972-73. They went 7-7 at home. Strike that loser program off the list!
And did K-State claim it as the longest? Kentucky has to have it beat barring some probationary wins vacated. In their lone losing season since 1926 (13-19 in 1988-89) they still had a winning record at home.
-
I thought it was more than just stating the streak and hoping nobody really thought about how losery that is, and that there was some declaration of it being the best/longest/something.
Where the eff is the gE intern anyway?

There was definitely this. It's funny, because on it's face it sounds pretty great, but when you realize how hard it is, especially in modern ncaabb, to have a winning record at home, it's very :lol:.

Yes, the A.D. used to claim it was the longest. Then someone realized Kentucky has a longer streak. :Poke:

Better than. #9for69. That would also allow room to potentially lose a home NIT game too.

If we win 4 conference home games the NIT ain't happening jack, and absolutely not with a top 4 seed

I don't even remember how the NIT works. I figured a lot of who's in/hosts is based on who volunteers.

No man, they seed legitimately. The conference regular season champs who don't get in the tournament are guaranteed high seeds, the rest of the seeds are pretty much straight lined by RPI.

We need 3 more wins to guarantee a .500 record. That's not that absurd...

BRING ON THE NIT!!
Not gonna happen
Pffft, if you were a real fan you would support your team to their consolation prize
I think we can take 2 of 3 between @TCU, @UT, and ISU. Then just need one in the P66
-
The Streak can survive a home NIT loss now.

In the unlikely event that we do pick up 3 more wins this season that far from guarantees us a nit bid. The last team selected last year was WVU; they entered the nit 2 games above .500, a .500 conference record and a RPI of 90, we're currently 107. So to reach the minimum standard we would have to pick up multiple upset wins then we'd likely still have to win another game. The kenpom odds have to be around or under 10%.

Actually, we are 95 in RPI and 72 in BPI. Every game remaining besides TCU, is against a top 30 RPI team. Get hot and go 4-1 or 5-0 and win a couple games in the Big 12 tourney and K-State could hypothetically sneak into the NCAA tournament. Not likely, but who knows. Its a weak year for bubble teams.

NIT folks like teams with quality wins. K-State already has more quality wins than last year's WVU team. If we win 3 more, we'll probably have at least 2 more. .500 Cats will likely get in.

This sucks

If we went 5-0 with wins over ISU, KU, @BU and then won 2 in the big 12 tourney we might make the NCAAs.

yeah, but i mean, who knows?
-
5-0 would be a very oscar thing to do.
-
i mean weirder things have happened, right?
-
if I had to choose between losing in the first round of the NCAA this year vs winning the NIT, I feel like I would somehow prefer winning the NIT
-
NCAA is gone, we are NIT bound.

You guys are being greedy.

Can you imagine Mike Tufano's column for the oscar haters? I want to read a Curtis Kitchen column scolding the immature greatness of Marcus Foster turning the season around and comparing him to Pullen.

No.

No.
I think i would rather win the NIT over losing the play in game, but with the way this season has gone i would take either of them with out hesitation right now.

If we find a way to achieve an NIT berth, I'll take it and be happy. But to assume we'd win the NIT? That's just crazy talk. There is no way we would be one of the top four teams so we'd have to play on the road at some point...

This thread should be locked, with all focus being on No Wednesdays. I'm sure there's one of 16 goals about focusing on the task at hand or something.

Maybe you can convince chingon to run a simulation based on kenpom data to see likelihood of not ending the regular season in the bottom four.

We need 3 more wins to guarantee a .500 record. That's not that absurd...
In the unlikely event that we do pick up 3 more wins this season that far from guarantees us a nit bid. The last team selected last year was WVU; they entered the nit 2 games above .500, a .500 conference record and a RPI of 90, we're currently 107. So to reach the minimum standard we would have to pick up multiple upset wins then we'd likely still have to win another game. The kenpom odds have to be around or under 10%.
Actually, we are 95 in RPI and 72 in BPI. Every game remaining besides TCU, is against a top 30 RPI team. Get hot and go 4-1 or 5-0 and win a couple games in the Big 12 tourney and K-State could hypothetically sneak into the NCAA tournament. Not likely, but who knows. Its a weak year for bubble teams.
Not sure what you're looking at but we're absolutely 107 in the rpi http://realtimerpi.com/rpi_Men.html also the bpi is stupid and it isn't a metric used by the committee, if you're going off of the board kenpom is better.
Also the weak bubble thing is non-existent, the bubble looks exactly like it did every other year of the 68 team era because math. Bubble teams are usually two things and this year is no different; a team with a winning percentage around .550-.600 with a few top 50 wins but bad losses (Miami, Purdue, Seton Hall) or a team around .750 or better with little to no top 50 wins but 1 or fewer bad losses(Boise, GW, LSU). This year is no different.

CTC is likely correct.
-
I've changed my mind, we are not making the NIT. Also, don't go back and look at the schedule with wins and losses noted. It will make you very angry.
-
The best 13 and 13 team in America is making the NIT. You can take that to the bank.
