Per Kenpom...

We had a 99% chance to beat Texas Southern yesterday with less than 10 seconds to go. He also predicts our next and only win the remainder of the season will be January 14th against Texas Tech.

Statistics schmatistics...

Meh.  This band can't even correctly predict the outcome of a 4-point game with only 10 seconds left.

I think that's great news. First off, the bbsing would be incredible. Secondly, John Currie would be forced to either fire oscar or deal with a full fledged riot, both of which I would enjoy immensely.

It's almost too good to be true.

[ksupamplemousse]

It would be a Festivus miracle.

Hey dum dums, if Weber does "kenpom" the season that is not good news.  It's almost the worst case scenario because you know next year he will almost certainly do better. Going from let's say 2-16 to 8-10 would be seen as signs of amazing improvement.   This would buy him at least three more years I bet.  On the other hand the other trajectory makes it much easier to get rid of him (if this is indeed desired). A 8-10 season this year followed by 2-16 would likely doom him unless something amazing happened the very next season.

you don't think 2-16 gets him fired?  I am afraid the 'ship in '12 makes you correct.

I will say if you don't want to stay on the oscar 6-12 to 10-8 yo-yo for the next 4 or 5 years a 2-16 has to happen sometime

[pissclams]

i don't know if 2-16 gets him fired or not- no one knows that data at this point in time because quite frankly- it's an unknown.  with that said, if this kenpom guy is correct and we only win 1 game this season in conference we all have to ask ourselves- "what's going on in with this year's team?"  "what's this team's ceiling?"  "why did we get so bad or are we better than the record would indicate?"  "has this crowd lost this team?" 

find the answers and find the solution(s) that seem to plague this cat team hoop dreams.

what's the conference record kenpom is predicting?

I think 2-16 will get him fired.

good grief, we won't go 2-16.

I would hope so, otherwise he puts even more emphasis into scheduling over recruiting and we start the dance Wooly did for his last 3 years or so.

[Skipper44]

prolly not, oscar is lucky the start to big 12 play is pretty soft.  If we had the last five of @TCU, @BU, vs KU, vs ISU and @UT to start instead of finish oscar losing the team would be a good bet.

what's the conference record kenpom is predicting?

The first post in this thread said 1-17. I'm not sure where to find that, though.

that's not the record he's predicting

I think he means that there is only 1 game in which KSU is favored.  However, KenPom's predictive conference record will be more like 3-15 or something.

I wasn't saying we would go 2-16 or whatever.  I was just saying that people who wanted something like that to happen (this season) in hopes that it would hasten oscar's departure are likely mistaken.  The opposite would probably happen in fact.

Yeah, what you described is what happened at Illinois. Having the terrible season followed by the rebound season got him more time.  I was wind-ing beneath your wings, chings. 

[Trim]

What I'm gathering here is why settle for 2 when 0 are available?

OK, I change my vote.  Just pencil me in for whatever gets him out of here the fastest.  So, I guess I am rooting for what, like between 6 and 8 wins this year, and then rooting for between 2 and 6 next year?

what's the conference record kenpom is predicting?

5-13.

[michigancat]

thx sys.

Bottom line is oscar is back next year unless there's some sort of vague NCAA violation going into an important game.

[pissclams]

the big 12 championship is still available
if we win it, does that buy oscar more time as the mayor of katsville?
