Over/under for wins this year?

[CycloneErik]

Are we playing 21 games? I guess 22 with the conference tourney, if we get that far.

I'd put it at 7.
3 non-con wins and 4 conference wins.

 

[Hayes30]

I put it at 9. What do you think?

Over. Give me 16 wins.

 

[nfrine]

Anything short of a natty is a disappointment...

 

[dahliaclone]

We aren't winning ten games.

27 regular season games was the last I heard. It might have changed.

I thought I read 5 non-con games, but cyclones.com only showed 3.

I’ll take some of what you are having.

We have 7 non-conference games. (Iowa isn't scheduled but we are playing them)

Arkansas PB
South Dakota State
Depaul
@ Iowa
Jackson State
Chicago State
@ Mississippi State

If I'm doing the math right, we have 25 games. 7 non-con, 18 conference. If we get 16 wins we'd go 16-9 which would be incredible. Put me down for 13-12.

Agreed. Somewhere in that 12 win range if it’s 25 games.

OK, so 4 non-con wins, 4 conference wins. I'll put it at 8.
Unless SDSU is good. Then it's still 7.

Well you're just a Debby Downer aren't ya lol

 

[Clonefan32]

I've got 2 O/Us for this year.

Games won, I'd put at around 9.

Number of excuses for our struggles? I'd put the O/U at around 14,394.

 

[RotatingColumn]

.500 at best.
But at least we'll get some offseason "excitement" speculating which NBA team will poach our best talent.

I'm convinced the number of wins will be underwhelming. The bigger question for me is, which one of those non-con teams gives un another embarrassing home loss?

 

[CyclonePower44]

Without any Hilton Magic this year, it will be difficult to get to .500. Hopefully I am wrong

100%

8 IMO

We are upgraded talent wise but if I'm rating us in talent and coaching, talent we are probably at best 6th, probably more like 7/8 with OU. Coaching is probably more like 8/9. That says more about the players and coaches in our league than our squad. We'll be improved but it may not matter with the schedule. January could be as ugly around here as its ever been. We could realistically only win a game or two in the big 12 before Feb.

I think we go 4-6 in conference in the month of January. 6-6 overall in that month.

Win:
vs. K-State
vs. Jackson State
vs. Chicago State
@ K-State
vs. Texas
vs. Oklahoma State

Loss:
@ WVU
vs. Baylor
@ Texas
vs. TTU
@ KU
@ TTU

 

[LanningIsBakersDaddy]

I think Iowa State will be a much better overall team but the record might not show that because the Big 12 is going to be an absolute grind. I'll say 12 or 13 wins with a few of those being some fun upsets.

 

[ClonesFTW]

Looking at the predictive folks out there, here's what they think.

Kenpom says: 11-13
Bart Torvik says: 9-15
TeamRankings says: 13-11
