NIT......NIT......NIT

Great start to the season, but we are caving now. This TCU team STINKS, same as ASU. Those are two games that we will wish we had at the end of the season.

But we are accumulating bad losses to cancel out our good wins. Beating Cincy or UCF isn’t gonna matter. We need big wins.
10 games left. 6-4 gets them in possibly even 5-5. Also have Big 12 Tournament. A win there improves seeding.

Claim of bad losses with not enough big wins is sadly mistaken.

Just ask @Thick.

This loss means we have to steal one now. Perhaps Texas Tech.
No it doesn't. Hold form, meaning win the games we are projected to win by more than 1 possession, and we are 18-13 heading to KC.

That's dancing, even if just barely. Win one of the coin flip 1 possession games too, 19-12 and solidly in.

We played like stupid stepped in dogshit tonight and if Small gets to the line as many times as he should have, we probably still eke out a 1 possession W on the road.

Where did I say bad season? And where are you getting 10 games remaining? We have 9 then the Big 12 tourney.

Tbone61 Allen is correct. 10 games remain, most against the lesser caliper conference teams. Should potentially go 6-3 against those teams, 5-4 at worst. You'll be close to the bubble, but winning an opening round conference tournament game would likely cement your chances, as long as your NET stays close to where it currently is.

If we don’t dance it will suck but let’s keep in mind we lost our best player and started the offseason with zero players. Few teams can take a blow where their best player goes out in December, thrilled with how the season is playing out even if the magic runs out before the tournament. I do think we have a strong chance to make the field though.

Did anyone really expect to make the dance this year?

IMO, they have surpassed expectations.

Our best player is still playing. The leader and other scorer that is needed is injured and out.
