I got a lot of heat early this year when I said I thought our 2017 team was better than this years team. Disappointing to end up being right.
And here we were, picked to win the conference this year. Amazing!

Yeah the 2017-18 team. I’m not sure this team will even get to the 13 win mark. We wasted Wigginton and Lard that year and this year we are wasting Haliburton and Conditt.

That team at least there was an expected drop off with the gaps and it was seen as a time to get some good experience.

This team...I think THT leaving wasn't in the plans...but there also doesn't seem to have been much of a plan in place.

I think it’s pretty likely we don’t. I know the Big 12 is down, but I just can’t imagine this team has 6 more wins in them.

The computer rankings show them 73rd right now, that 17-18 team finished the year 81st.
Very comparable then and I’m not sure that’s a good thing considering that team finished last and went 13-18. I like Prohm but it’s very disappointing to have this kind of season 2 out of the last 3 years.

Love these guys, love these coaches but I won't live and die over the actions of 18 year old kids.
Love the kids and their efforts...yes. Coaches...nope

We will still finish lower than that team easily if this year goes how I think it will. (3-15 is my guess)

You were probably one of the many thinking we would be 4th.
I can’t lie, I thought we could finish as high as 3rd. I thought the Big 12 was down and I really thought Tre, Haliburton, Nixon and Bolton would be a very solid backcourt and that Jacobson, Young and Conditt would be a good enough front court to help us win games. I could not have been more wrong.

With Prohm coaching I thought 6th was the best that unit would do. Even then, that looks like it was far too optimistic.

I could see that for sure. I think we’ll win at home against TCU, KSU, OU + 1 upset win and then find a way to win 1 road game. I think we go 5-13 and finish the year 12-18.

If Conditt has the gas and can stay out of foul troubkr he should be in almost as much as Tyrese. As much for next year as this year since Tyrese is likely gone we can't be left with no dominant experienced players.

We've got a first team all big 12 level player, Conditt, Bolton, then quite a drop off.
I agree with everything here but Bolton.
