playing "must wins" to meet the bare minimum of expectations with 6 games to go in the season. this is what we've become.
:flush:
Yes. That's what I thought this year would be from the start though. I thought we'd be about .500 in the league and make it in, so being on the bubble isn't a surprise to me.

We have these every year which show "improvement" but it hasn't amounted to much. I'm just being realistic based on #bigdata.
To answer your question tho I thought we would win

looking at it from a statistical perspective, are seasons like this, in oscar's 5th year, his median? i think they are. so then what are the standard deviations from the median? on the low end, last year's 5-13, no ncaa. high end 14-4, 1st round loss?

Probably about right for a 2/3 of the time NCAA guy.
At Illinois in 09 (his 6th year) he tied for 2nd in the Big 10, got a 5 seed, lost in the first round. Last year was probably his low point at K-State, similar to his Illinois lows in 12 and 08. This year is similar to 11, 10, and 07 at Illinois, all bubble teams, 2 of 3 made it.
If he gets to the tournament eventually he's got to win a game.
But yeah, this is what oscar is.

In terms of this team making the NCAA tournament, I think this is it. Next Wednesday will be as well. Probably either Texas or OU, and definitely Tech. TCU would be nice, but probably not a must win, unless we don't win 3 of the next 4. That's the situation this team put themselves in.

obviously it'd increase the chances of tourneying if they win, but that's not what "must" means, imo.

The fulcrum of the season when it comes to the NCAA tournament if you will.

here's a question for the message board pragmatists- if we win tonight, are we more or less likely to win against the cows?
Equally, imo. Like most of our games this year, it just depends on how well the cows play against us.
