With all the creampuff non conference schedules in America, 20 wins is almost needed for NIT. So you need to split the Big 12 conference games. If you do that, then you go to NCAA. So I think we have played our way out of the NIT. Nothing or the NCAA.
Did the non-conference record match your expectations?

About what I expected: Some pleasant "upsets" and some head-scratching losses. I expect conference play to be the same.
Pretty close to what I thought. I don't remember what I predicted for sure, but I think it was either 11-4 or 12-3. The wins and losses were a little odd (Hawaii and SDSU?). I think we'll go 5-11 in Big 12 play. 16-15 going into the Big 12 Tournament.

It seems about right. I'm not convinced that the "Big XII North" is impressive overall this year, so that has to factor into some wins. I sure hope to be present for two victories over Nebraska:yes:
We should be able to win a handful of conference games. There is more coming together than falling apart.

Exactly! No excuses for the Drake and SDSU losses. Hawaii game should not have been lost considering the huge 2nd half lead and even the late lead.
I don't know. Talent still seems to be lacking. Could use another low post option other than CB. Still can't see much more than 4-5 conference wins for this team.
agree. if we dont get at least 5-6 then we better pray that Colvin is as good as advertised and can make a huge impact to save McD next year.
Mizzou is much better than advertised... They should be able to sweep us. I'm thinking we'll be lucky if we're able to do all of the following; split with KSU, and Col, sweep Neb, beat TTU, and OSU... Other than that, I think it's going to be tough to beat any of the other teams (I hope our boys prove me wrong:yes
. I see us getting 4 wins the rest of the way out... maybe 5.
i only saw us losing to houston and iowa to be completley honest, especially iowa for some reason i never like playing iowa in iowa city we odnt seem to win there, i think we should of been 14-1, 13-2 honestly theres no reason we shouldnt of been, we shouldnt of lost to drake, hawaii, or SDSU
I haven't gotten to see much of us this year, so this isn't really THAT well informed, but I've read about each game and checked the stats from each. Also talked to a friend who was front row for the last game... He said it's going to be a LONG Big 12 season... I don't think we'll get 7 Big 12 wins unless someone OTHER than Brackins learns how to score on a CONSISTENT basis. We also need a guard who can get into the lane better. Diante is getting better, but still not good enough. Could be a long Big 12 season. Probably 5 wins... My prediction for the Big 12 season:
