I would have zero idea and my guess - ANYONE'S guess - would simply be a guess based on little more than cardinal and gold glasses that are either way more than half full or way less.
Glasses means 2 things.

I've yet to see THT being a draft pick based on his play. Do you think we lose Jacobsen too? Maybe Conditt goes to play in Europe?
What's funny is you're leaping ahead to next year, but also stuck in yesterday. Lots of stuff happens in the in-between times. That's what makes college sports fun. But maybe I'm wired differently.
I've never had sex with twins. Never. But I'm still working hard to make it happen.
After last year, making the tourney would be a successful season. Some people have crazy expectations, like winning the Big12 regular season. This team has the talent but they will have to be consistent over long stretches to achieve this, and I don't see that happening. I hope I'm wrong.
Oh really? You realize 8-10 teams have made the tournament from the Big 12? Making the Ncaa seems "solid" to me.
It’s damn real as I predicted prior to Baylor. I would have rather gone anywhere else in the league after that game.
Do you all think Self has some subliminal affinity for OSU that causes him to lose to them a surprising amount?
Lol, not even Prohm’s agent would try selling that. The bar doesn’t get lower for a staff due to that staff’s struggles.
You’re confusing high aspirations with high expectations, which you validate with your comment about having the talent. It’s very reasonable to criticize when the “team has the talent” but are “not consistent over long stretches” to reach their potential.
No. I think players are at times dumb college kids who get burnt out, think they have a game where they can take their foot off the gas a bit and get beat.
Losing at Baylor was a reality check. We have a good team, but we are going to struggle on the road. I'm guessing we go 11-7 in conference; win out at home and maybe get one more on the road. Probably around a 6-7 seed in the NCAA tournament.
Seems more newsworthy when we win in Waco than win we lose. If this game ruined the season for you or even changed your outlook, you overreacted to the KU game, thats it.
What gets me about the hype after KU is, ISU didn't play great in that game. Defensively maybe but KU played awful the first 10 minutes or so and it was a neck and neck game until half. At one point weren't we 0-5 or 6 from 3 to start the game? How many of their first half points were 2nd chance points? Offensively and on the glass, this team hasn't played a great game in big 12 play. Some great stretches but they are yet to put it all together. The 2nd half against KU might be the only great half this team has played over the last 3 games.

Interesting contention, in essence going with a “we’re not that good” angle and the issue is that expectations are or were too high, despite many non-fans believing this roster as one of the most talented in the conference.
Your points of poor play justifies the reactions, not invalidates them.
I still think we're going 13-5 baby!
You read way too much in to my post, I never said we weren't good. Just that we hadn't played like a big 12 contending team. OSU wasn't a ton different than last night, the first half against KU wasn't really either. You think this team has played to its potential the last 3 games? That the second half against KU was it's peak? Sorry I can't agree with that.
My point was this team hasn't come close to peaking, hasn't even put together a complete game since they've been full strength. I think this team can be great, they just haven't played great yet. People got way too hyped after beating a KU team with only a few guys who had ever stepped foot in Hilton.
Trend of the season for fandom moods.
Non-conference: 10 wins but 2 losses so Prohm can't even go undefeated in non-con with a young and limited roster.
W @ OSU: not real smooth, but a road win is good for NCAA prospects.
W vs. KU: 2-0 in the conference, obviously conference title is within reach since that's what ISU did twice 20 years ago and getting tickets for the one seed in Des Moines. This is CSP's basketball team!
L @ Baylor: Well, good bye league title in two months, a 3 seed, and probably aren't even as good as Kansas as a whole now.
Been a weird week.
