If we play Iowa again, it will be most likely in the Elite 8 or Final 4.............that would be pretty sweet.

For us to lose 5 almost has to mean we lose at Hilton. Or 4 on the road and once in the conference. I don't see us losing 4 on the road this year.

Wow, really? I think some people are forgetting how tough it is to win on the road in conference. You typically lose at least one on the road to a "lesser" team along with having to battle with the likes of KU, OSU, and Baylor and pray you come out on the good side. That's not even bringing up teams like KSU and TX which will be tough matchups.

Indeed it is tough on the road. My point is that if we lose 4 on the road, we will probably lose a few at home also. If we go undefeated at home, I don't see us losing 4 on the road.

A 72% chance at a 1-4 seed. I like those odds, and would love to be a top 4 seed. I think it is a pretty realistic outcome at this point.

Last year we lost 6 on the road in conference play, but only 1 at home (which should have been a win). That included losses in Norman, Lubbock, and Austin to teams that finished below us.

I think it's completely reasonable that we could win out at home and lose @KU, OSU, Baylor and either UT or OU (maybe both).

I don't see this team giving away games this year. And they seem very confident in closing. I anticipate us getting the calls at the end of games.

Let's just win them all. Deal?

I'd take 13-5. That's nothing to sneeze at.

Big 12 champ will have 4 losses this year....
