“We didn’t have kids who did the right things, and we had to make a decision. We feel good about the guys we have coming in. We feel good about the guys we have coming back. I think with a great spring and summer we are going to be very competitive.”

“It is never fun (to go through a season like this). The tough love and all that stuff is not fun. I want to coach. That is what I want to do, but that is just a small portion of our job. If we get the right guys in here, then you get to do the coaching like you want and then it is much more fun.”

“Two years ago, when we had all those young freshmen here, I don’t think any of you thought a couple of them would step up like they did. We obviously will need some guys to step in and have immediate impacts if we are going to be special. But I don’t think there is any doubt that is possible.”

“I think it is pretty obvious why they had to be let go, I don’t need to get into it. We are just worried about getting guys that want to be here and play K-State basketball. Guys that play their butts off, go to class, take pride in getting a degree and just act right. That’s all there is to it.

“You can’t be a union worker and be a great basketball player. If you only come when the coaches are there, you are not going to be special.”

“Sometimes you have to go through some growing pains to make some progress.”

Relax. The Cats will be fine, the streak preserved, and not all will be lost.  I'm not on the keep oscar or fire oscar team.  I'm just going to keep cheering for the Cats. And as every year I am curious how well this group can compete.  None of us knows that yet.  We may have had better who didn't perform well, and we may have had rose who played better.  I'm going to let the season unfold.

Hang on a second, I thought it was odd that we had an even number of home games, and saw I counted the Colorado State loss in the home record.

Projected 8-9 at home, so only need to flip one of those home losses to extend!

But under the Rake outlook, the streak would be broken in the CTR.  :frown:

But I miscounted and the Rake projection comes out to an 8-9 fOOD record.  I know any projection that has the streak ending in our lifetime seems absurd, but that's only 1 game that would have to be flipped.  And it could be the Columbia game that's the pivotal one, leaving us still at 3-15 in the Big 12.  :runaway:

If we can just get 6 Ws in the fOOD vs. the pre-big 12 non-con of Maryland-Eastern Shore, Columbia, South Dakota, South Carolina State, Coppin State, North Dakota and Saint Louis, we'd extend the streak even w/Rake's 3-15 conference prognosis AND losing at home in that weird SEC challenge game vs. Ole Miss. 

Columbia is the big swing game, on a Monday night no less for those of you lamenting the lack of Big Monday games.

Pretty sure it is seasons without a losing home record. Also pretty sure they found out at some point it wasn't even the longest. That or somebody else (Kentucky  :dunno:) had a longer one, but lost out on a technicality like vacated wins or something.

Prognostications seem about right tho!

Yeah, there's def a thread on here where we found when KSU quit trumpeting the streak, but we don't have to.  And the winning vs. non-losing distinction won't matter b/c I miscounted and there's 17 home games so .500's off the table.

Too bad The Ed broke up w/us all.  I could've gotten the streak stats, STRAIGHT, and given them to Ed and had him call up #oscar and wyatt and delve into it.

Yeah, well, vacated wins don't count so we should go ahead and trumpet the streak to everyone that will hear about it. This might be the last year that Kansas State can say they have the best home court in America.

columbia climbed as high as 112th last year in KenPom and was a top 150 level team entering march. they return four of five starters from last year as well as a couple of role players. ten of twelve players are juniors and seniors, and you might recall they went on the road at kentucky last year and led them at half before losing by 10.

long story short, they'll beat ksu as noted in the OP.

I mean this won't get him fired.  Of course it won't.  NOTHING this year short of a player dying on court because oscar withheld medical care will get him fired. 

This is a mulligan season that doesn't really count.

Pretty sure it is seasons without a losing home record. Also pretty sure they found out at some point it wasn't even the longest. That or somebody else (Kentucky  :dunno:) had a longer one, but lost out on a technicality like vacated wins or something.

Prognostications seem about right tho!

Yeah, well, vacated wins don't count so we should go ahead and trumpet the streak to everyone that will hear about it. This might be the last year that Kansas State can say they have the best home court in America.

I think it is our duty as real K-State fans to brag about this streak all season. So if we do lose it, everyone will know how big of a deal it is.

I refuse to believe that this is true. I really don't think John Currie is keen on looking like a fool. Firing oscar looks significantly less foolish then admitting a hiring mistake if the OP's prediction comes to fruition.

John is rolling in the money, basketball hasn't proven to be a financial failure yet, and it likely won't this year.

Plenty of people will give oscar a break for "cleaning up" the K-State basketball program, even though he's largely responsible for making the mess.

It is what it is.

If you are referencing what I said, I didn't mean to imply that John only cares about money and not success. Long term the two usually go together though and I think John will be willing to give oscar more patience because a) he hired him and b) he'll give him some leeway for losing a bunch of players even though he recruited him. Eventually oscar failing will get him fired, I just don't think it will be after this season, no matter how bad.

Not you in particular. Just seems to be the herd mentality here on gE. That as long as people are showing up and supporting the team that John won't care about making a coaching change.

Almost that it will take a financial hit as opposed to a performance hit that will get him to hire a new coach.

The money means he won't feel pressure to change like he would with a losing football hire. It's not the only factor, but it's absolutely a factor. With Currie's involvement in running off Marcus I'm doubly sure no change will be made no matter what after this season.

If performance in basketball was important to Currie he would have never hired oscar.

As long as bball doesn't do terrible damage to the finances of the AD, then Currie could not give less of a crap how well it performs.

oscar inherited a much better situation and he's already done more than Paul could ever imagine even with the mess he created after last season.

Free pass probably isn't the right phrase; I think most mean he's pretty safe from being fired after this season. However, a bad season this year will put pressure on him going into next year and 3 bad years in a row would put him in a lot of trouble.
