Race for the 2022-23 Reg Season Phillips 66 Crown Thread

[Sandstone Outcropping]

The Cats are tied for first in the conference right now. How many wins will it take to claim another regular season Phillips 66? Would 15-3 cover it?

I think 14-4 gets it done this year. Which bodes well for us if history is any indication (ty oscar).

Yeah, I agree with 14-4, that gets a share, 15-3 outright

Which game does ku win on the road between UT, ISU, TCU? Or are you figuring ku might not necessarily be in the equation?

[wetwillie]

14-4 I think wins it outright.  Big 12 gonna beat the eff out of each other for next 12 games.  Seems pretty unlikely more than one of the teams at 5-1 can go 9-3 to finish.

Seems like it happens every year, though. I wouldn't be very comfortable about our chances if we finish 8-4.

[pissclams]

ku isn’t deep enough to go 13-3

[wetwillie]

P sure KP doesn’t have a single team projected above 13-5

[8manpick]

Pretty standard for projection systems to tend toward less extreme results and have a team hit it with small sample variance to exceed expectations.

They can win or lose any game left on their schedule, including Kentucky this weekend.

I'm an advanced stats n00b but I'm noticing a couple of things from these charts:
1. 1/3 of the conference season is in the books.
2. There are a lot of tough games left to play.

Out of our remaining road games, how many do we lose?  I think we could play very, very good basketball and lose 4 more on the road @KU, @ISU, @OSU, and @WVU.

[MakeItRain]

We lose two of those, tops.

[kim carnes]

We should be extremely pleased if we finish 13-5 or better.  We’ll probably drop 1 at home and 3 more on the road.  Book it.

These stats — and our sterling record in close/OT games — lead me to believe we’ve been very fortunate.

Probably yes, to a degree. But I also think since this team is so new to each other that they have a higher ceiling than some other teams that have been together longer. And good teams win close games. That said, I don't think we'll win the conference and I'm ok with that.

Having three bucket finders and good free throw shooters DOES bode well for us tho!

Any word on N'Guessan's return?

Any word on N'Guessan's return?

YOUR GUESSANS AS GOOD AS MINE!

[DreamWeaver69]

He at least warmed up last game. I have a feeling he’ll probably be back next weekend. Goddamn walking boots and K-State needs to stop!

[cfbandyman]

Yeah, mentally @ku and @isu are losses.

That being said, if we can hold serve at home, I like our chances @ou and @osu. So 15-3 is a ceiling, a few extra road stumbles puts us probably at 13-5, with and/or a home loss. A collapse after 6 games imo is not having 10 wins.

At this point though, god help the team we play if it goes into OT. We rule OT

It is crazy to think in my mind going into this season I would be happy with 6+ conference wins, now not getting that 6th win would be stunz and wacks wet dream

Fran said "a couple of weeks away" during the broadcast

We're winning in the piss barn

KJ said that OSU was the toughest defensive team we have played this year.  @OSU scares me.  An off-night on shooting could easily turn into a loss.

If any of our players are agoraphobic then that also doesn’t bode well for the trip to G-I-A
