Title: Cats MBB Big 12 conference record predictions
Post by: GregKSU1027 on January 02, 2015, 11:49:43 PM
Conference play starts tommorow for oscar and the cats. At Oklahoma state. Will the cats pull their act together or will they keep it in this downward spiral? I want honest predictions. I know that most of us believe that this season isn't gonna be one to remember. But this team has potential. And there is very little light at the end of this tunnel. Who will we triumph? Who will we be mauled by? Please tell me and the community your thoughts.

7 wins. 5 home, 2 road. We'll win at least a couple we "shouldn't". Lots of scores in the 50s. #bruceketball

I personally think that this team will win games that they aren't supposed to.
Home games.
Tech Win
OSU Win
TCU Win
OU Win
KU will be close. They have had trouble early on Win????
ISU kept up with em last year but loss
Texas Blowout loss
Baylor loss
Away games
texas blowout loss
Isu loss
ku loss
OU loss
TCU WIN
OSU WIN
TECH WIN
Baylor win
So yeah this slate may seem a little unreal but anything can happen. We will stay above .5 hopefully and pull it out at OOD against the Jhawks

2-16. Not sure where the 2 wins come from, but at some point, somebody is bound to have a bad game against us.

Changing my prediction to 3-15.

Best case scenario at this point, TCU is winning vs WVU at the half, we may be favored in one game the rest of the way. That's assuming Marcus doesn't quit before the season is over, which would also hurt our APR.

I'm not sure now.

If oscar goes 6-12 (which seems pretty realistic) this year he'll have coached .500 basketball over his last 9 seasons as a basketball coach, 6 at Illinois and 3 in Manhattan. That will put him at 80 wins and 80 losses against Big 12/10 competition in that span.

Now you know.

What are you talking about? Are you doing gymnastics to be contrarian? I know it's hard to come to terms with us being so bad but if you believe in metrics at all, the only way to get to 7 wins is with magic dust.  The numbers tell you we are horrible and that doesn't even account for all of the immeasurables which are seemingly worse than the measurables.

Since the start of the 18 game schedule, less than six wins has happened six times. Two teams per year on average.

Kenpom has us at 5-13. 2 games either direction isn't an oddball variance.

Was that 5-13 before today? Either way an 11 percent variance when you're predicted to only win 27% of your games is pretty significant. I'm okay with using kenpom for this but kenpom can't account for what's happening with Foster and the head coach publicly calling a senior, essentially, a career long loser.

definitely not.  it's much easier to go from horrible to mediocre than from mediocre to good.  and the more obvious and glaring a problem is, the easier it should be to fix.  other than a limited number of ballhandlers, i don't see anything about this team that can't be fixed and fixed pretty easily (disclaimer, didn't see today's game, haven't really watched them all that much all year).
