So, now that we are 5-0, what are your expectations about 2010-11 season wins down the road ?

12-3 non conference

6-10 conference

1-1 B12 Tournament

19-14 overall and shot at the NIT

This is what was thinking as well. If we keep playing at a high level, we might be able to bump 1 more non conference into the W column and 1 mjore conference game, but that would probably be the most optimistic I could go...so far...

Good guess, right in line with what I was thinking. I think that the NIT would help us in recruiting in the New York/Jersey area again.

My preseason: 15-16/5-11

Now: 16-15/5-11

It might seem like I should bump it up more than that, but a few details:

1. The only certainty that differs from my initial guess so far is beating Creighton (which I had as a loss — oh I loved being wrong about that). I'm still playing it safe at 11-4 in non-conference, even though I think every single team is beatable. I prefer to be pleasantly surprised.

2. My original was somewhat more optimistic as far as Big 12, at 5-11 (I saw plenty of 3-13 predictions, which were certainly in line with our uncertainties about FH Year 1). Until we see a few more games against higher competition, it's hard for me to elevate it much. My five wins were TT, NU, OU, Baylor & Colorado. A win at NU (and probably at CU) looks within reason. But again, I'll play it safe.

Before the season started, I could see 18-13 at the top end. That looks much more within reach than I thought. Knock on wood.

I like looking at Ken Pomeroy's site and can't argue with his numbers, around 18 wins & 6 in conference. Our FT stats are not good. Those need to improve or it doesn't bode well for close games.
