Once again, some of you shouldn’t be allowed to make sports observations. What a beating. Feeling pretty good about missing the first 8 pages of the thread.

Everyone is forgetting about Baylor in 2014 who started 1-8 and still made the tourney as a 6 seed.
Our schedule is frontloaded. We haven't played any of the bottom yet. Kansas State, Oklahoma State and Iowa State are bad this year and those should be wins. Not to mention home games vs. winnable teams like Texas and Baylor and home games vs. Top 25 teams WVU and Texas Tech that would be big resume boosters.
I never thought this team would be good enough for a Top 5 seed, I always had us pegged in the 6-9 seed range, and I am sticking to it. 9 Big 12 wins will be enough to get a 6-9 seed.
Home wins vs. Baylor, Texas, Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State puts us at 6.
Splitting home games vs. WVU and Texas Tech puts us at 7.
Just need to steal a road game at Iowa State, Kansas State, Oklahoma State to get 8. 8 wins makes us a tourney lock for all you negative nancies thinking we are NIT bound already.
