2013-2014 Conference Predictos - Gottlieb knows we will be poop :sad:

[yoman]

This whole conference is crap after the top 3. What about OU, UT, or WVU's rosters makes you think that they are better than we are?

- OU lost 4 of their top 6 scorers; Well over half of their points are gone...Who's scoring for them, Baby Fraschilla?
- UT lost their best three players; Excuse me for not pissing my pants in fear because of Javan Felix
- WVU sucked last year and lost two of their best players; They'll be better, but they really couldn't get much worse

I'd bet that ISU sees a big drop off too with the losses of Babb, Clyburn, McGee, and Lucious. Nothing about their current roster makes me think they are the clear-cut 4th best team in the conference.

The Cats will finish no worse than 6th, and probably higher than that.

Why settle for 2nd when 6th and possibly higher is available.

6th, and probably higher!

Just when I think I can't be any less excited about the upcoming season I see this.

I can already see how this is going to go down... The Cats struggle to something like a 20-14 season, finish 6th in the B12 at 9-9. Everyone has late season NCAA hopes only to fall to the purgatory that is the NIT. This board melts down no fewer than 7 times and #BurnItDown begins trending on Twitter.

It's pretty apparent with the two transfer signings this year and the juco stud(?) we signed yesterday that oscar is building this team for a big run in '15 and '16. This season is going to be a lot like 09 was - a lot of growth by the young players that will pay off down the road. We may as well embrace it.

If you guys need me this winter I'll still be in Bramlage EMAW-ing my face off.

How else do you think the nickname Big Run oscar started?

define "big run".  the only reason we did what we did in 09/10 was not because of 08/09.  it was because we added a 5* center/pf (CK) and a future All Big 12 caliber player (McGruds).

You're right. It had nothing to do with Jake getting to play 30+ games with Denis, or Jamar and Dom getting more experience.

marginal.  do we have a "big run" in 09/10 w/out CK or McGruds?  Don't worry, I'll answer that:  No.  It probably looks more like 08/09 though maybe, maybe we get to the tournament.

[catzacker]

I mean, if experience and "good coaching" is some type of prerequisite for success, then why didn't Huggins' team make it to the tourney?  But Clent Stewart's "experience" really helped the next year....that and MB and BW.

Madness in Manhattan starts Friday.  Am not talking about the practices, but about the anger that will slowly ramp up around BB until we all emotionally give up. 

['taterblast]

this year will suck. i'm going to remain optimistic about the years after though.

The Huggins team went 10-6 in the B12 and was snubbed. And if you don't understand that guys like Clent and BY had an impact on guys like Jake then I don't know what to tell you. BW also spent a year being around Cartier and the other older players...

[rollingplains]

aaa  ya

Thank god Bill Walker had that year around Cartier Martin.

There is a reason LHC John Thompson said he would always take talent over experience. Beasley > Cartier Martin

Could Spradling guard Jack Krap? I say probably not very well.

Probably not, but who could?

[EMAWzified]

As injury prone as Sprads is, he'd be a quadriplegic if he tried to defend Krap's wicked crossover.
