What gets us in the tournament? 10-8 or 11-7?

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, that was tough to watch. I really want that Maryland game back. We had them beat.

For once Joe is correct.

[ChiComCat]

It looks like this non-con schedule has done exactly what it was designed to

[kslim]

Talk of 12-6 and 11-7? You guys have lost your god damned minds.

Is it so crazy to think that the university whose football team is already penciled in for the national championship game next season would also have a basketball team capable of coasting to double-digit conference wins and be a lock for the tourney?

i feel like this is directed towards me. Could be wrong but wtf?

[420seriouscat69]

Yeah, now if only there was a place to discuss such things.

I mean we are predicting a semi final berth so the dig is only half correct.

wvu is good but if you can beat a press you can win

well.

[wetwillie]

I hadn't even seriously considered the possibility of this team making the tournament until MIR said it was 100% a tournament team.  He usually doesn't say crap like that lightly so I'm leaning towards believing it. 

[PowercatPat]

Some of you are forgetting how awful oscar is on the road. 4-23 in conference last 3 years

This. We would be favorites for maybe one road conference game right now, and even that might be a stretch.

Any talk above 10-8 is laughable. I think 10-8 is the absolute ceiling for this team.

The team probably has enough talent to get a tournament bid, but they have done absolutely nothing to deserve one and will need to be very good in conference play to sneak in.

Honestly how many of you thought we would have this record.  They aren't bad.  4th or 5th good.

[420seriouscat69]

They're all patiently waiting for them to fail, Reno. They hate oscar that much.

[Rage Against the McKee]

I thought this record was the most likely scenario.

[Powercat Posse]

1) I'm not surprised we are 11-1 with this schedule. I am pleasantly surprised how easily we beat some of these teams.

2) oscar teams have something to prove on the road because of past 3 years. However B12 is not as strong as any of those 3 years. I don't think 3-6 or even 4-5 road record is predicting something outlandish when you consider the league's strength & Ksu solid play so far away from OOD this year

there's a fairly significant substance abuse culture on this blog

[gatoveintisiete]

I keep coming up 8-10, 9-9 best case 

[star seed 7]

I might watch 10 or 8 minutes of ksucats bb this year

i said i think we have a legit shot at the pepper next year, im not sure why that is such a reach

[420seriouscat69]

If you're not dissing on k-state and not expecting the ultimate crap show of a season, kslim, you're not one of them. Tuck outed!

[ChiComCat]

Calling K-State good or bad after this non-con is a stretch either way.  Losing by 1 to Maryland doesn't make us a bad team and beating a bunch of terrible teams by a bunch doesn't make us a good team.  This team hasn't proven anything and could finish anywhere from 4th to 10th in conference.  It's similar to where the FB team was heading into the WV game.

My problem is that this may be tournament team but scheduled themselves a narrow path into the tournament.  By stockpiling meaningless wins, I think we forced ourselves into 11-7 in conference to have a reasonable shot.  If we finish 10-8 and don't make the tournament, people should be fired for the disservice they did to the players.

[420seriouscat69]

That's fair, but I also think we've seen a few things to be excited about. DJamer for one is a freaking monster, Sneed is electric, and our guards shooting has been fun to watch. If that can carry over into conference play, we'll have a shot to be good and I think it's worthy of conversation.

[renocat]

We will beat.KU at home, and.scare the hell out of them chickenhouse 15% of winning.there.  A lot of teams will have a lot of losses in the league this year, a war is brewing.  Tough will rise and woosie sink.  The CSU game onvinced me we have some substance of grit.   So who are the wilting woosies - this here you find our fate.

Get excited if you think we're good.  You're not off base and neither is someone who thinks we're garbage.  This team is still such a mystery due to the way we've scheduled.

[ben ji]

Either way, let's name the losses. Worst case scenario we're swept by KU, Baylor, and West Virginia, but that won't happen. We'll steal 1-2 games at home from those guys.

My projections:

-2 losses to KU
-Split with WVU
-2 losses to BU

2-3 bull crap losses on the road to shittier competition.


Do we get there?

This is the kind of "Good" wacky bbs'n this board needs.
