Now that we have completed our non-conference slate and have a grasp on the identity of our team, what do you see for wins?
Poll: Conference Wins

9-10. This answer will probably change greatly after the Baylor game.
I threw down 9-10. Even if we only protect home court (which is proving to be very likely) I like our chances. The Big12 is gonna be a slugfest every night - anybody can win (or lose). Home court advantage (Phog Allen, Hilton, hell even the Octagon of purple) may be the deciding factor when it's all said and done.
Went with 9-10. The Big 12 is a beast. Good news is that would still get us probably around a 6 seed in the tournament.
That’s what I voted for. 7-2 at home plus 2 wins on the road. Fingers crossed.

I still am prepared for a little bit of a letdown from where we are now, but I still think we can get to/close to a .500 conference record.
A team that breaks .500 in this conference and 12 wins in pre-conference, 13 with Mizzou and was ranked in the top 10 as a 6 seed? I would guess 3-seed.
I'm worried about some people's mental state when we start losing a few games in this meat grinder. It's never as good or as bad, but many people will forget that when reality/bad luck hit.
The Big 12 is unquestionably the best basketball conference, so I think their ceilijg for league wins is lower. But they are capable of 9+. I voted lower though
On another note, 7 wins probably gets us into the tourney but other B12 schools will need more - especially Oklahoma State and K-State. They don't have non-con resumes that say "at large" so they'll have to play more desperate. It isn't crazy that 8 teams make the tourney this year. If TCU gets to 7 league wins, they're probably in as well given their non-con record.
I'd say ceiling for our guys is probably...11 wins? Hard to put a ceiling on this team though.

Yes, it's a good conference this year, but it's hard to argue we're not at least the third best team!
I said 11+, which doesn't seem that crazy. That's only a couple games over .500 against teams that we are mostly better than.
