Steffy is right. if we finish 6-1 we'll be 18-13. win a couple games in the big 12 tourney and we'll be like 20-14. it's right there for the taking and you guys are just a bunch of negative nancies. get off his nuts.

It's not over until the cats are knocked out of the Big 12 tourney.  Steffy gets this.  His purple doesn't run.

Optimist gonna optimize.

This is a very fair question.  Last night, for the first time in a few weeks, I didn't even check the scores on the Big 12 games.  I knew if I did, I would be reminded as to how frustrating this season has been, especially the last couple weeks.

It seems like a total mess right now.  I can't help myself, though.  I really like it when K-State wins.  And, I do know that things are never as bad--or as good--as they seem.  And, I also know that young kids (such as those on our team) tend to move on and forget frustrations and missed opportunities much better than we adults do.

If we continue to flame out, feel free to remind me how much easier it would have been to give up hope on this team way-back-when.  It won't matter, though; I can't help it, and will continue to do the same in the future.  (I was still hopeful we would make the football playoffs going into the last Saturday of the season.)

Steffy is not wrong.

She just whipped it out itt and all other cat fans were found wanting.

Good post. I view the Cats in a similar way.

We have as much likelihood of getting into the NCAAs as any other midmajor.  Win your tourney and you're in.

[Clevey 2 Times]

Seems to me we'd be relying on guys named Wesley, Stephen, Thomas, and Tre to make the tourney. Recipe for failure.

['taterblast]

i mean, i definitely still watch the games and am interested in cat hoops, but i can honestly say i don't watch the games with the same 'hope we win' interest as before. there is a considerable amount of apathy.

also, this developed basically in the last two weeks. i was pretty stoked at 5-1.

This.

I was infinitely more 'hope we win' during the Wooly era.

There have been many K-State basketball seasons where that question could be asked.

Who else do we play?

Steffy's viewpoint seems to have nothing to do with the actual talent on the court and what that talent is or isn't capable of. I don't think you view the Cats or any other sports team in the same way at all. It's easy to give up on the season because we are not good. We all like seeing K-State win but there is no shame in acknowledging the fact that there are seven teams in this conference clearly better than we are.

[kso_FAN]

Good point, but by similar I mean we are both pretty optimistic, sometimes to a fault.

[TheFormerKCCat]

To answer the OP's question. I don't see any 'sure things' on that schedule, but I doubt we lose them all. I'll probably still watch most of them. Looking at this team's wide swings in performance, they'll probably beat KU just to keep me coming back for more and then trample on my heart with a series of 1 point last second losses. Or blowouts. Very hard to predict this team!

I am hopeful regardless, but I think there are some objective reasons to think this team is capable of being pretty good.  Before Nino got hurt, we were playing damn well in conference.  And, Vegas took note, as evidenced by the point spread against teams such as Baylor, OSU, West Virginia, and at Iowa State.  That tells me that it is not crazy to think that this team is capable of being very good (assuming Foster and Harris come back, and assuming Nino continued to recover).

Will we win another game this season? Hmmm...

[kso_FAN]

We are sad.
