"beat the pants off our preseason projection of 9 Big12 wins" - love the touch of informal silliness snuck in with all the stats and math

I thought they'd be 11-7, and thought that was optimistic. Just about everything has come together for this team as well as you could hope. Gilbert and Cujo both better than I thought. The bigs got better. Chill much better as a freshman than I'd thought. Lipsey can shoot now.

Let's hope they can sort the offense and make a little run in the tournaments.

Yep. And the way it turned out, the loss yesterday didn’t impact us negatively at all. Still the #2 seed in KC, no chance for the title since Houston smoked KU, lots of #2/#3 seeds lost around us, basicallly a throwaway game.

Now it’s time to earn all of the respect built up this season.

Battle for the last 2-seed today.. Win today and we are LOCKED into the last 2 seed and Omaha.

Lose, 3 seed. And I'm pretty sure still Omaha most likely

If Marquette drops a game tonight and the winner or ISU/Baylor wins the tournament, I could see Marquette getting jumped.

Good to see the offense is back where it belongs after that bad 5 game stretch. Found it interesting the OU game was our worst offensive performance of the year.

It's almost like basing analysis on a 6 game sample and ignoring the rest of the season isn't a great way to analyze the team. Shocking!

If anyone is wondering what a 100 on BartTorvik looks like, it was tonight

 

[AirWalke]

Best AdjD score on Torvik since we thrashed Grambling State in November.

End the season number 1 in overall defense!

Today was our highest rated offensive and defensive performance of the year. It truly was our most complete game.

Keep on the trajectory of our last three games.

Keep on the trajectory of our last three games.

On that trajectory this team would be winning the NBA finals this year.

Neither one has beaten the Cougars by 28, I’ll give you that.

Erik Haslam's system moved us up to #5 overall. (we're a 1 seed in his final bracket though)

40th in Off Eff and 2nd in Def

I'm curious what's different about the teamrankings NCSOS measure. It seems to have ours much higher than others
