When Wes leaves, those numbers are going to look much more frightening.

I had no idea college basketball adopted a 42 game regular season, cool!

[Havs]

My guess is the schedule will be incredibly weak, similar to Fred's first year at ISU, or TCU this year. 12-13 wins.

I'm Sad, Havs.

It will be pretty similar to this year. We know we're already playing in the CBE, Colorado State in Wichita, at A&M, at Georgia and a home game in the Big 12/SEC Challenge. All of the "he will schedule easy wins" talking point is not a good one, not to mention we lost one of those games.

Oh God, and A&M is actually supposed to not suck this year too.

[8manpick]

Hoping for 8

[ChiComCat]

Will be a super easy non-con to pad the win totals

Non-Con 10-3
Conference 4-14
1-1 in Big 12 Tourney because eff us

15-18 with some pats on oscar's back for "not getting worse" in a rebuild that he created

[meow meow]

how in the world could we possibly win 10 non con games?  we lost 6 of them this year, and as MIR already pointed out, our schedule isn't much easier.

8 wins

[PIPE]

Remember the expectations thread started before last year? Ohhhhh, the optimism.....

The only hope I have is that, if Duke can win with 8 players, we can too, right?

Nevermind......we will suck.  <10 wins

8-5

It really is a race to see if we can break the 20 loss barrier.

It would be a 70th anniversary feat!

8 wins

EDIT - Just read MIR's post.  1-1 at sprint.  Losses to SEC schools and Colorado St.  Everyone else will be hot garbage, though may lose one of those as well.

7 Easy Non-Con games
Winnable SEC game at home. (Not going to be a marquee game)
Winnable game against MU (CBE)
Thrashing game (CBE FINAL)
Very winnable game adjacent CSU
2 likely losses with A&M and Georgia

6-3 at home in Big 12 
1-8 on the road in big 12

1-1 in Big 12 Tourney

16-17 could happen

[CHONGS]

But maybe win % is a fairer thing to look at.

[Brock Landers]

I would just like to crack the magical 10 win barrier and get to a double digit win total.  That 9-19 season just looks unbearable.  Somehow the difference between 9 and 10 feels pretty significant (that's what she said?) even though it still means you suck.

I find it difficult to drum up that much optimism with what I see in this program right now. Edwards and Westicles better get A LOT better and at least 2 of the new comers have to be complete studs.

12 wins should be few enough to get a new coach
