Author Topic: For you, how many more wins would it take to "save this season"??? (Read 4017 times)

For me, I'm so incredibly pissed at how bad the effort was over the last 6 weeks that I think I need 10 more conf wins, no losses at home, compete for the big xii, followed by a quality run in the big xii tourney, then win at least one game in the ncaa. So, like 14 or 15 more wins.

I don't need any eff ups telling me this is a pipe dream, this is what I need not to think this season was a complete waste.

Just one, in the NCAA Tournament.

It may be unrealistic, but my watermark is the NCAA tournament. Want at least a win, but getting there means a good season overall.

Honestly, if this team can salvage getting to the NIT I'd be okay. NCAAs and I'll be very pleased with this season.

IMHO, this season could have a very 08-09 feel to it going into next year if we can have a decent Big 12 and get to postseason.

I'm all for lowering standards so that we can make ourselves feel better about the season. So, if we make the CBI, i'd say give oscar an extension and put up a banner.

However many more wins it takes to be an 11 seed in the dance

Wasn't there already a season expectations thread?

Yes, but I think this is the "expectations after your expectations were crushed" thread.

Post season based expectations to which regular season can have zero consequence but allow an alternative path?

My expectation every year is to safely make the NCAA tournament.

Rusty's consistency as a BBSer and Cat fan is impressive. He doesn't often get caught up in the ridiculous swings of emotion that most do.

oscar is forever dead to me, he has shown his stripes. That said, I really did enjoy yesterday's game. I never thought we would see that against Oklahoma and on the road, no less. oscar overcame so much adversity I would like to nominate last night's win as his biggest achievement so far at Kansas State. Nice work, "Bad-B"

If the team builds off the flashes of "teamness" and consistency it showed yesterday, they could grow to be really quite good. However, I'm not sure I'll stay invested, it's not worth letting oscar's consistency issues drag my dick through the dirt all season long. my dick has already had quite enough

I would LOL at a 10 win conference season that leaves us out of the NCAA, because of oscar's rough ridin' non-con.

Scheduling is more important than recruiting

I don't want poor coaching and poor play early in the season to effect what we thought this team was capable of. I think anything over 6-7 conference losses would be disappointing. Not showing growth from last year would be sad. Basically this team needs to put its self on the bubble.

CyberToothCat · « **Reply #19 on:** January 11, 2015, 02:51:17 PM »

Given our struggles in noncon, making the NIT would "salvage" the season for me. I think we need 8 more wins to make that happen. That would put us at 17-14 (10-8). I think that would be just barely enough.

Despite yesterday's W, I have zero expectations that this team can make the NCAA. That would require a level of maturity, consistency and toughness that this team has repeatedly shown it does not have. Therefore, this season is a disappointment. Making the NIT would be just enough to avoid calling it a disaster.

We must not lower expectations.

This season will only be saved if the number of wins = or < Currie's magic number to fire oscar. Unfortunately, I think we've already surpassed that number so this season is in the tank regardless.

Your second paragraph is spot on.

I also think it's dumb that one win against a good team and some are already talking about making the tournament. This team has 7 losses already, and I think out of those 7 team's we've lost to, two will probably make the NCAA Tournament and quite possibly only one. We just have too many bad losses.
