7 games. Goal - Win 5 of them
« on: February 11, 2017, 08:58:16 PM »
3 home. 3 road. 1 SprintCenter.
Win 5 of those and we will be in comfortably. Either in the 8-vs-9 game or 10 seed.

Go 4-2 and lose Sprint Center game.... I still think we will get in. 10-11 seed. I don't think we would fall to play in game on Last 4 in

Finish 8-10, go 1-1 in KC and we will be playing the waiting game. Truly hoping other teams are losing games. Probably a coin flip either way. If we did go 8-10 we probably face WV in KC. That win would help.

We went 2-4 vs 3 Top15 teams. Nothing wrong there.
Need to finish off sweep of OU & Texas.
Going 4-4 vs Isu/TCU/OSU/Tech is fine too.
If we did all that, it's hard to be too mad from where our projections were in late December.

That said, lot of work to do to get those 5 wins. Somehow get a 6th and win #22 and the Tech/TCU losses are forgotten IMO.

What are the Kenpom odds of going 3-3 before Sprint Center?

Currently, Kenpom projects us to go 4-2 over the next six.

8-10 gets us in and I think it may be a ro64 spot not a play in.

No team should ever make the NCAA tournament with a losing conference record, unless they win their conference tournament, IMO.  It's like 5-7 bowl teams.

I think we could win four or five of the next six if DJamer can play at least thirty minutes in each.  Without him we have zero inside presence offensively or defensively.

That's what should happen.

I'd be lying if I didn't think 5-1 was more possible than 3-3.  Biggest thing is go 3-0 at home. I'm not worried about 1-2 or 2-1 on road. Get the home Wins.

This on the surface sounds good, but even Renologic kind of gives  it flat tires.  This logic would dictate the top teams of jucoSteriod leagues should go to the NCCA.  Teams would quit leagues if this was the standard.  There would likely not be much TV revenue for teams like KSU.  Then there is football.   If we beat the Texas team, ISU, and OKstate then we should definitely go as all of these teams are being considered.  Lose the ISU game and things could get ugly.

I predict we lose all remaining road games. So ....

I also think we lose one home game

I think we will win 5, and I don't think we need DJamer to beat isu at home. The hardest game left is @tcu, gmafb

8-10 w/ our soft non con? I dunno, that may give us a better chance to be out than in. If we lose Wednesday night v. ISU, we may be cooked.

Wednesday is a must win IMO. I mean, they could lose to ISU and then win out and fix it, but that's not likely at all.

We don't have a bad loss, and only the Tech loss is one with an RPI higher than 55.

However, we need wins like Isu, Osu.  We only have 3 wins vs Top 100. All of those are solid wins, but we need more Top 100 wins. Isu Osu Tech and Tcu all could be top 100 victories

True, top 100 wins are probably the make or break stat for this team. We win all 4 of those -- TT, OSU, ISU, TCU -- we probably get in. I'd say the most likely outcome is we split those though. If that happens, I dunno where that puts us. We'll have to see how it plays out with other bubble teams to answer that question. Split those 4 and win a game or 2, one against a top dog, at the Sprint Center, then we're probably ok.
