I think that is right but I really want at least 9-9 and hope for 10-8. 10-8 was my initial prediction and I am sticking with it for now.

I said 8-10. 3-2 over the next 5, then we finish 2-4 in the brutal closing stretch.

I was optimistic and went with 9-9. We need to sweep WV and beat Baylor, Tech, and Texas at home.....and then find another W somewhere. I certainly think that is possible.

The bubble is very weak again this year and like you, I think there is a decent possibility that even 7-11 could sneak us into the tournament....especially if we avoid any losses to WV (who would be the only team left on our schedule who qualifies as a "bad loss").
 
The rest of the schedule

vs. Baylor
@ WVU
vs. ISU
vs. Tech
@ Baylor
@ TCU
vs. Texas
@ ISU
vs. WVU
vs. KU
@ KSU

Have to hold service at home and hope to snag a road game or two to finish in the top 3-4 of the conference.
 
The only games i see as a 50/50 chance are wv, both...ut at home.

The rest anywhere from 10% ku, ksu...to 40% tech here.
 
I said 7-11. But after watching another disaster of a performance at home I think 6-12 is more likely.

It’s really too bad that neither last years team or this years team could maintain a reasonable rate of play. Could have given the program a much needed boost of energy. Instead all we got was another embarrassing B12 season.
 
We need 5 wins to make the tournament. At this point I dont see them. I was high on this team a month ago, but we dont have the offensive talent to win many games in this league. I think we get 3 more wins.
 
That was not pretty. And it would be a lot easier to write this off as an anomaly if we hadn't done the same thing against K-State two weeks ago.

Now this team has to steal one. We can beat Baylor, so hopefully we can get them in Waco.
 
I also tried really hard to not get excited during non-con. I think I did okay..lol

Yeah I complained last night...more about effort, no communication between guys on switches, really bad post defense, lack of movement against the 1-3-1 zone, coaching, etc. Not worried about loses now. I think we'd be extremely lucky to get to 8/10

Greater chance for 6-12. (wins - WV here/there, ut here..and those aren't going to be easy).

NIT for sure
17/13? don't think that would be ncaa...maybe

You weren’t alone. I got excited too, like I always do. I don’t regret it. I saw a lot of positives that pointed to an improved effort on defense. Team chemistry seemed to be much better than last year’s disastrous ending to the season. Players not only knew their roles, they gladly accepted them because it was obvious playing as one unit led to more wins.

Above all, the team’s effort and mental toughness was vastly improved. That’s why the collapse we saw last night was not only hard to accept, it was even harder to understand. I can’t point to a single player and say “this loss was not his fault, he played hard.” Some did for brief periods, but there was no sustained effort to overcome the butt kickin’ Baylor was giving our players.

Does Lon and his staff deserve some of the blame. Dang straight! If they can smile and accept congrats for the thrashing OU gave Brice Drew, gotta man up and give Scott Drew credit for getting his own brand of revenge. Scott Drew had his team ready to play, Lon Kruger didn’t. It’s that simple! You don’t get beat by 30 on your own floor if your team is well prepared and ready to play.

Having said all of that, does this game signal the end to our season? Absolutely not. This team proved they can beat anyone when they play hard, and smart, and sell out on defense. Time for our seniors to step up and be leaders again. Manek and Doolittle need to show why they are in the starting lineup. Time for them to suck it up when things don’t go well, not pucker up like five year olds. It’s time for Muni to take the powder puff out of his rear end and play like he still has something to prove. If he wants his legacy at OU to be “a player with NBA potential who was too soft to make it to the league,” he’s well on his way.

Sorry if my honesty about Lon, his staff and some of our players offends anyone. They always have my full support when they deserve it. But, there is no way anyone can justify the embarrassing loss we saw last night to me. That was not OU basketball!
