We're like 3-7 right now. Which is shitty. But, despite #goetard the historically good big 12 conf schedule was front loaded.

We need 5 of these to get to 8 wins. I believe 8 wins gets us into the dance with our schedule. Can we do it? I think do.

BU - W
@osu - W
Ku - W
TCU - W
@isu - L
UT - W
@ttu - W
@tcu - W

That's 7 likely wins, a 10-8 record, #6 seed in the tourney, kenpom top 25 team.

Lol, it's far fetched, but this more likely than the 6 win #goEtard consensus

If we can just protect home court and steal just 1 win on the road I think we have a real good shot at making the tournament.

It can happen. A tournament with this team would be fun.

It's totally likely to happen guys.

kpm predicto is now 7-11. either 6-12 or 8-10 is quite likely.

exactly 10-8 is so much more likely, to say otherwise makes you a "Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)" or hater who wants oscar to fail. No objective observer of KSU could think we would finish below .500 in conference. You would have to a an idiot to think so.

ken pom is just an idiot with a grudge against oscar and holding players accountable. you should totally ignore him as the agenda driven moron he is.

Why wouldn't we win all of them? Or is that improbable?

SdK reminded me that we've only lost to ranked teams other than Texas. Makes me feel better heading into this last stretch.

there's some conflict between fsd's thread title and his post. i was assuming he meant to push forward the idea of 8-10 (and bubble team) as a reasonable point of discussion, not that people were supposed to take seriously the idea that 10-8 is more probable than going 6-12.

Man I want a tournament bid. And I want a first round matchup with frank.

Powercat Posse · « **Reply #15 on:** February 06, 2016, 09:16:36 PM »

Each year is different, but OK St and Texas made it last year with 8-10 marks and 13 total losses. Texas made it with only 2 big conf wins (1 top 50 non-con Win to give them 3 total)

Big 12 is #1 rated Conf like last year, so 8-10 and go 1-1 in KC could sneak us in.

Likely Best case is for us to beat Ku,Bay and Texas at home. Then go 2-1 at OSU/Tech/TCU. That would likely land us at 9-9. I don't expect that, so going 4-2 instead of 5-1 in above games is probably much more likely.

sys · « **Reply #16 on:** February 06, 2016, 09:20:22 PM »

would depend on who the five are, i think. tcu x 2, tech, osu and 1 good win wouldn't do it. bu, ku, isu, ut and one of the poor teams would be in easy.

kso_FAN · « **Reply #17 on:** February 06, 2016, 09:21:10 PM »

At .8548, Big 12 is 2nd best conference in kenpom since 2004 ACC. 8-10 absolutely gets us in.

That said, let's do better and make it no doubt, even after our poor start.

This is a fair point. When I started it I was operating under a premise that 8-10 would be sufficient to dance. Then I handicapped our remaining schedule and was like, holy crap, it was so front loaded 7-1 is arguably possible (much more so than the 3-5 many a #goetard dream for).

The discussion should focus on our chances of finishing 8-10. Which I maintain is very likely.

The conference is stupid good this year. The fact that our rebuilt and young team is competitive has me cautiously optimistic for the future. I had no expectation of making the tourney this year, yet it seems quite possible (particularly with the expanded field and 3 teams already dq- louis, smu, syr).

I know this type of honest dialogue is frowned upon among the #goetard, but man its fun
