Odds of OU running the 12

[YCN]

I'm doing this scientifically. There are 13 games left for the majority of Big 12 teams, so...

What's OU's chances of running the table?

1. 7.7%
2. 15.4%
3. 23.1%
4. 30.8%
5. 38.5%
6. 46.2%
7. 53.8%
8. 61.5%
9. 69.2%
10. 76.9%
11. 84.6%
12. 92.3%
13. 100%

Whatcha think?

I think that it will be difficult beating Baylor twice. I would say no more than 15.4%. If we do win at Baylor, it jumps.

 

[YCN]

Baylor has the talent (old talent too), but OU has the heart.

I think OU's chances are approaching 50%.

 

[womenssports]

I think we lose three in conference play. Guess I am not using a scientific or mathmatical equation.

But would love for us to run the table.

 

[YCN]

For me it has to do with intuition. I've watched tons of basketball, my HS team won a state championship before I graduated to bigger and better teams.

This is the "best looking" team I've seen OU have, including the 2000-02 squads. There's something going on in the talent and chemistry of this team I've never seen before.

I do like this team chemistry. I think it may be a year off.

If you assume the probability of OU winning every game individually is 70% and the probability of OU winning against Baylor is 50%. Then the mathematically probability is .0706. The odds increase by about 50% for each win except Baylor which a win over would double the odds.

I'll go with 1%.

Whatcha think?

I don't think it works that way. There are two possible outcomes of the question; yes or no. So percentage wise wouldn't it be 0, 50 or 100?

In any event I like the odds of OU finishing no worse than 5-13....

I'd kind of like to see how this team responds to a loss now that they have tasted success; just not anytime soon.

0%. Sad to say, it won't happen. I don't think Baylor will go undefeated either.

I'll let the mathematicians figure out those odds.

Do I expect the Sooners to run the table in the Big 12? Sadly, no. That would be nothing short of a miracle. But I will say -- and not for the first time -- that this is a great, young Sooner team. Sherri is building something special with this group. These kids will never concede defeat, no matter who they play.

This is going to be an exciting Big 12 race and post season for fans of the Sooner women.

Yep. This is Sherri's team, fire-breathing.

 

[got mulk??]

The Sooners are looking good right now and firing on all cylinders! IMO, it's a little premature to be talking undefeated. It's only 5 games into the season! No way we will be undefeated either we escaped Lawrence today and haven't put 2 good halves together in a while. Should be an interesting conference especially late on Feb. 25 at LNC when the conference title may be on the line Sic'em!!

 

[sybarite]

No Courtney. No Griner. No Masse. (I never took Spanish. Is that right?)

 

[got mulk??]

Y'all have better odds jumping into the top 25 next week!!!

Here's what I think about everybody's take on the odds. My sophomore year in high school were had a pretty darned good team, and I knew several of the players on that team. We finished 14-2 in conference play and 3rd in the conference that year.

We finished the season 26-2 after beating the team that was the biggest favorite to win the state championship in Oklahoma to that time, Oklahoma City Douglas. The average score in their games prior to the state championship game was 135-82. That Douglas team averaged more than 5 inches taller per starter, as our team was the only 5A team in the state without a starter that was 6 feet tall.

One of our reserves hit the winning bucket in the last half minute of the game as we won 74-72. At the time it was declared the greatest upset in Oklahoma high school basketball history.

They never asked me for my opinion.

I would say 40 per cent, just for no reason except any thing is possible. The way the Big XII looks this year, a lot of parity. The three teams that concern me and we have beat one, is Bears, Horns, and Cyclones, all three have over the years given us the most trouble. I can't see us running the table on all of them, but I really like our chances in winning the Big XII championship.

So do I. We both know that the team that historically has had OU's number in road games is the one in Ames. The Bears have abused us recently, and the Horns are pretty darned talented.

But every time I've watched this team play I've seen them grow, and there's an undeniable chemistry that just fascinates me. It will be fun to see where this season leads.
