Reasonable Expectations

[jwg]

With the schedule what are the prospects of OU makeing the NCAA in men's basketball this year ? or NIT

The selection would be based on 14 non -conference games ,16 conference games, and the tournament.
Currently 3-4 I see probable loss to Arizona no better than 50% against CIncinnatti which is in Okla. City . This projects to a 9 -5 or a 8-6 non conference. An 8-8 record in conference would be 17-13 or 16-14. I think that would qualify for the NIT but not the NCAA.

The schedule does not favor OU in conference. They play Mo,K-State, and ISU on the road KU,NU, and Col at home. I think a 2-4 split is likely, then there are home and away against the 5 teams in the South, Splits are likely against OSU, A&M,Tech I think 3-3 likey , 4-2 very possible. OU can be swept by Baylor and Texas I think 1-3 likely. This gives a 6-10 conference or 15 - 15 or 14-16 . The first might qualify for the NIT since Chaminade might not count. I am pretty sure it will not count on the RPI. I think a split in the conference tournament is optimistic, so I don't see any help there. Assuming a loss to Arizona I do not see any wins that would help a resume or the rpI.

NEXT YEAR DO WE GO to an 18 game home and away conference series.

Are you kidding?? We won't make any post-season tourny. We might not win 5 more games.

I think it is reasonable to say we will finish with a loosing record unfortunately. We just don't have the experience or talent to finish well enough after this start to make any kind of post season.

I think that is right on next years schedule, everybody plays everybody twice.

Coming from someone who predicted an 18-19 win season before the season started, even I'm not sure right now how we'll win enough games to make the NIT, although I see us pulling off an upset or two at home in conference and haven't accepted the 10-win apocalypse reality that some other people have.

Next season we play a full round-robin conference schedule.

I would wager on A&M and OSU if it was a pickem for a game in Norman. I might take Tech too
