I can't believe people are still talking NCAA tournament and 10-8 at this point.
2019-2020 Computer Projections Thread
- Thread starter Sigmapolis
- Start date
Argeed. 17-12 (10-8) would likely not even be enough. That boat anchor of a loss to Florida A&M would likely require 2 more wins to get to 19-10.
Florida A&M is a really, really, really ******* bad loss.
After Tuesday somehow winning KC is probably our only hope at the tourney
West Virginia just beat Ohio State the other night. So IMO they have 9 games out of 19 left that would require pulling a monumental upset. Thats counting Baylor, KU, Tech, West Virginia twice, then the road game at Auburn.
Winning in Austin is probably out as even our best teams have struggled down there. Oklahoma State seems improved so thats probably another loss down there. I dont know much about Oklahoma or TCU but I would guess we have a shot to win at least 1 or 2 out of the 4. K-State looks as bad as us so maybe they could sweep them.
I thought they would finish about 7-11 when I first looked at the schedule, but that seems like a long shot right now if you break the schedule down. I think realistically we are looking at another 4-14 season.
It’s Prohm’s best attribute. And given the importance of pg play, it’s a strength that can nearly carry a program.
Take elite pg play away and we see just how mediocre the rest of Prohm’s coaching is? Imo we primarily lost that game for reasons other than the offense lacking elite pg play. Things that are consistently weaknesses, but such pg play is great lipstick.
We’ve had worse offensive games with Haliburton, but not a worse defensive outing imo. Haliburton is a good defender in terms of gaining possessions, so he would have helped there too.
Dear @Sigmapolis
Where do you get off? Part of a balanced posting style and statistics? Who do you think you are?
By now, you may have guessed I'm speaking ironically and have nothing but good things to say about what you do. @Sigmapolis, do not change a thing.

Even prior to the FAMU or Iowa games, on paper, @TCU looked like one we had to win to make the tourney. Going to need to pick that one up somewhere else, the positive spin is, the bottom 6 of the league is a pillow fight. There are winnable road games out there.
I'm at the point where this is what I'll be looking for. Give us something positive to take away from this year.
Thank you. That is very nice of you.
I have said this before, but it rings truly ever day. In the Twentieth Century, the men in the gray flannel suits on Madison Avenue figured out that sex sells. In the 21st, the purveyors of social media in the Bay Area and "traditional" media in Los Angeles and New York figured out that rage sells. The Internet and those business models run on anger.
Unfortunately, how strongly you emote does not justify the validity of your opinions. The world is complex, and I try to look at it in its own complex ways.
I will echo this but add one thing to it --
Tyrese is a monster. I would like to see something positive from the other guys on the roster, particularly Conditt and Bolton, who likely need to be our two best players and all-conference next level next season if we are to amount to anything.
Conditt and Bolton absolutely.
Also considering how much SP seems to like Tre Jackson, I’ll be watching him develop as well
The good news --
We were supposed to lose that game anyways, so it did not hurt our projection much.
The bad news --
Basically everything else, and our projections are still a downer.
The path is there if we catch fire in the second half of the Big 12 season when the schedule because significantly easier. The team has some talent.
It is just not coming together right now for a bevy of reasons.
The next two home games are MUST wins for any sort of postseason.

so the percentage is above 0? Higher than I expected...
To quote Meatloaf --
Out of the frying pan and into the fire
And into the fire, fire, fire,
We still might turn this around.
I also wanted to highlight the advanced box score for last night --
-- having three guards pulling their weight changes everything
-- Lewis had an alright performance and probably deserves a solid spot in the rotation after that, but we should not anoint him with the expectations of savior
-- I am still glad to see the young man finally having an impact on the team, however, and it seems he is popular with the other guys, so that is great
-- so glad to see Conditt starting, Jacobson relegated to minimal minutes at the 4, and for Prohm to acknowledge he has three centers on the roster
