The 2nd 9

[cycophagus]

The first 9 games of the 1018 Big 12 conference season yielded a 3-6 record. Prohm's teams have consistently played better in February than in January, though, which is the sign of a great coach. In the past week, the Tennessee game was mind boggling, which the West Viriginia game was mind bending.

So what do you expect for the 2nd half of the the season? I'd like to see a couple of true road victories for a little resume building heading into tournament time, but with none to date, can this team take that next step?

I think tomorrow is going to be a big indicator. Win that & I'm optimistic for a good finish to the season. Lose, and it's going to be a long month.

It will be a desperate battle to stay out of the basement at Baylor. I've had the same thought. And 4 and 6 has a hopeful sound to it, whereas 3-7 sounds like circling the drain.

I think 3-6 to end the year would still be hopeful. We’d have beaten three good teams.

I think 2-7 is very much in play.

WTF knows when you get Tennessee one game and the WV game 4 days later.

Hopefully they pull it together for the remainder of the season.

 

[TheJackWePack5]

I went with a 4-5 finish.

Road trips to Baylor, Tech, OU, KSU & WVU still await, & the team hasn't yet won on the road.

If they win some around here may be talking NCAA seeding and Prohm as COY.

If they lose the same some will be talking program dysfunction and Prohm's replacement.

I'm not quite that bi-polar...but I prefer optimism to pessimism.

Meh, this team has already shown us that they can be fantastic and horrible, often within the span of a few days. I don't expect that to end just now.

My guess was 4-5, which I would consider to be a fantastic finish with the difficulty of our schedule. I wouldn't be surprised with anything from 6-3 to 2-7.

Fair point.

Fair point.

I'd love if it does (in a good way)!

That is the dragon to be slain tonight. I think it's more about the road that it is about Baylor.

3-6

 

[pdxclone]

Today vs Baylor is their best chance to pick up a road win. Already beat Baylor and coming off a big win giving them confidence. Lose today and I don't see them winning any road games this year. They have shown they can beat anyone at home but also lose to anyone. Inconsistency continues at home, 2-2.

 

[cyclones500]

I chose 4-5. Maybe 3-1 at home and able to finally steal one on the road. Hopefully can accomplish the latter to fight, then see where it goes from there.

 

[NoCreativity]

3-6

I think we win 2 of Oklahoma, Osu, TCu, then steal a road win somewhere.
