Next 4 Games

[pissclams]

baylor is not a bad team.  but when i look at those 4 games, i'm not looking as much at our opponents as i am at us and i don't think we're good enough of a team to go 4-0.

Just keep in mind that we're 19-5 (8-3).  We're pretty good. 

And, our 4-0 stretch leading up to KU (UT, @OU, @Tech, ISU) was quite a bit more daunting than our upcoming stretch of BU, WVU, @UT, Tech.

i said we'd go 3-1.  ken pom agrees with me.  it's an opinion, guy. 

[Belvis Noland]

i said we'd go 3-1.  ken pom agrees with me.  it's an opinion, guy.

And, in response, I provided my own opinion.  This is how message boards work, guy. 

[Bill Clarahan]

We'll lose 2 of those games

just letting you know that i kept in mind that we're 19-5 (8-3) when i did my hard hitting 3-1 analysis.  maybe we just don't agree on just how good this team is, regardless of how many minutes JO does or doesn't get within oscar's cancerous system.

We haven't had a real stinker in Big XII play. Something tells me its coming.

Did you not watch Monday night's game?

[kso_FAN]

4-0.

I will be slightly disappointed with 3-1, I still want to be in control of our own destiny for a league title going into our last 3 games.

[kougar24]

4-0.

You, sir, are unflappable.

[Belvis Noland]

4-0.

Agreed. 

The most likely loss (based upon talent level), is Baylor at home.  I just don't think Baylor is any better than ISU, OU, or OSU.  The odds are that we'll lose a game we shouldn't.  So, who know.  Maybe Baylor is that loss.

We'll let the KU game beat us twice most likely.  If the last 30 years have taught us anything, this program isn't built to live up to lofty expectations.

3 wins, 1 more leg pissing in the bunch.  Book it.

Man if we lose to Baylor it won't have a damn thing to KU. They will have nearly a week of prep time for that game. Your second sentence is absurd.

I'm glad that _FAN, Belvis, and I all agree here, the rest of you feel free to stifle your opinions. thanks

agree on what, exactly?

[Powercat Posse]

Take out the word slightly and i agree 100%. 

[Stevesie60]

4-0 or bust. And kougar24, I think that's what MIR was referencing. That him, Belvis and _FAN think we should go 4-0 these next 4 games.

You don't think having not won a conference basketball title in 27 years is absurd?

I that has a lot more to do with an extreme talent deficit than not living up to lofty expectations. We've yet to be favored to win the conference or have the best team. Also none of that has anything to do with this team.

[sys]

thinking events that happened over the previous 26 years impact the events that will happen over the next two weeks is absurd.

[wabash909]

Thinking that a cumulative pattern of events over the course of 25 years have zero psychological affect today is equally absurd.

No, it's not equally absurd.

[wabash909]

Sports psychology is absurd.

[MakeItRain]

Sports psychology is absurd.

Even if we accept your line of thought here as fact we would also have to accept that we're dealing with 25 years of choking when we all know that isn't the case. Actually this group of players collectively has consistently exceeded expectations.
