Predict Overall and conference record (December is here)

[Barry McCockner]

6-12 in conference.

You heard it here first.  Shitty recruiting class will follow.  chicken nuggets for everyone.

[Kat Kid]

That would be really, really bad Mr. Barry McCockner.  I sure hope that doesn't happen, but if it does I will definitely freak out.  So there's that.

[CyberToothCat]

Now that we are about 25% thru the season, it is prob safe to make some predictos. 10-3 in noncon, losing to Mich, Gonz and Fla. 8-10 in conf play. Only road win is at TCU. Swept by KU and OSU. Barely make the NIT.

[Skipper44]

the early part of the schedule does not set up favorably. 

I am afraid we won't have much positive momentum after going 0-2 vs Gonzaga and UF and we have our two best opportunities to get signature wins in January with OSU and KU at home.  It is not ideal with any new coach regardless of that coach's favorite dairy dessert.

25-6
14-4

I bet we go 1-1 with Gonzaga and UF. We play well in the confy, split with KU, OSU. Take both from Baylor and drop a couple that we probably shouldn't, my guesses being WVU and ISU respectively (one at home, one on the road). I'm  so hard right now. We'll also remember (shortly after Christmas) just what it feels like to be the flagship basketball program in our proud state. The last few years have been incredible. Feel blessed Cats, it's going to be a good season.

I hope to god I'm wrong by a game, but I'm officially declaring myself HBBIQ.

Excellent post and a great bump.

[SwiftCat]

Confy record 10-8. We will beat teams who we have no business beating, and vice versa.

Welp.

EDIT: Grats Lrrrman. That's awesome.

[catzacker]

10-3 ooc (losses to Mich, Zags, Gators
9-9   conf (lose all road games except TT, swept by KU)

the big 12 being down doesn't mean that ksu is going to play up.

Ouch.  Much like the big 12 coaches, I undervalued this team.

6-12 in conference.

this is a pile of crap post and i wish i could rub your face in it.

[WillieWatanabe]

well this is a fun read. not sure why i didn't post in it. I feel like i would have said 10-8 or 12-6. oh well.

[kso_FAN]

I think someone went back and changed all the predictions in this thread. We've heard for a long time that this season's success was the expectation from day 1.

That said, even as an optimist I was very wrong about my pick.

REVISED:*

10-3 OOC, 11-7 Big 12.

*The league is just not that great this year and I think this team will come around. Big 12 teams lost a lot of games over Thanksgiving week, ours was far from the worst performance. Its hard to look an anyone outside of KU and OSU right now (and OSU's youth will likely be up and down) and think we won't (at worst) split. Its not like it will be some impossibility to beat KU either.

['taterblast]

Man, what if we win one of our games against Gonzaga or Florida? Would your expectations skyrocket?

probably

depends on where you were starting from, but i don't think my expectations really "skyrocketed"

[WillieWatanabe]

we were playing pretty shitty at the time...but yeah.

['taterblast]

18-13 (8-10)

well eff me. i had in my head that i had predicted 10-8.

[Lucas Scoopsalot]

18-14 (7-11)

I'm so glad i was wrong 

[SwiftCat]

This team before Florida and this this team after Florida are very different. It was around that time that we started playing Shane at the 4 and really turned the season around. These predictions don't really surprise me, because this team evolved radically just after this thread was made.

I think this experience should serve as a lesson to us all. Tuck it in and trust in ADJC. Enjoy the ride and avoid premature meltdowns (much like drugs, the initial high is great, but soon the entire board devolves into a #teamburnitdown $h1tstorm).

*although I wouldn't mind not hearing another one of oscar's senior day speeches, for that reason alone I'm still squarely on the fence

[SwiftCat]

Meltdowns, premature or otherwise, are a lot of fun and part of what makes this board different.

[Powercat Posse]

That's what made this season so fun.   Right before or right afte the Gonzaga game, very very few could have thought we would be this good and in this position with one conf game left

That great 2010 team went 24-5 in reg season.   Awesome how this team has the chance to be 26-5 after Saturday

Its eerily similar too, I remember losing to that Ole Miss duo and thinking we were bound for a painfully average year.

[Dr Rick Daris]

We will go 12-6 in conference play (at worst)

Well, I guess we just found this year's KSU Basketball Super Fan. 

I just think the Big XII is a steaming hot pile of crap and we will play well. Probably will lose vs GU and UF but won't have any bad losses OoC (KEY POINT HERE!!)

i'm with saul. cats were 10-8 last year and only lost jamar. tcu is much worse than a&m was and west virginia will not be as good as mu last year. expectations should be for 11-12 conf wins.


21-11
11-7

looks like i was off by a couple of games too.
