8-2

[acgclone]

These "book it" posts usually don't end well for the predictor.

With that said, there won't really need to be any upsets for us to get there. However, when you factor in games @ KU and @ OSU, there isn't a lot of room for error either.

To get to a 10-11 win season, you almost have to go 8-2 or 7-3 worst case.

True. Chalk up @ OSU and @ KU as almosr certain losses. We should be favored in all of the others.

I don't know. With this team, I think how they play is more important than where they play. I think they can take either if they are on their game.

I'll believe we can after I see it happen.

I think we roll over OU at home, but Texas is anything but a sure thing, even at Hilton. I don't think they're an NCAA Tourney team this year, but regardless, they have our number as of late. I know this won't be a popular opinion on here, but Coach Barnes out-coached Hoiberg on Saturday, and he knows how to beat this Cyclone team. 7-3 over 10 games isn't a stretch, but 8-2 is, and 6-4 is likely.

Kansas hasn't played @TCU yet, guys, don't just hand them the Big XII title in here.

Kenpom has ISU with a > 50% of winning 11 of the next 13 games FWIW. Of course, we also were > 50% in all of the last 3. The site has us dropping 4 more before its all said and done.

Omg. Do I just not get the fun of this or something? Haven't these last 3 games meant anything to you "prediction" fanatics? Why do that to yourselves? And, no, my comment has nothing to do with being 'negative'. Would just like to let the team play the game, one at a time, and right now the only game that matters is Saturday. No reply or bashing needed.... guess it's just hard for me to operate that way.

The key is not completely buying your own BS (along with understanding the relevance of basketball in relation to the important things in life). After that, you can just enjoy it for what it is- a game.
