10 games left plus a game (or two if we are lucky) in the Big 12 tournament, we need to win at least 3 more games for Greg McDermott to not have another losing season and 4 would guarantee a winning record.
Finish with a winning record?

2 of these 10 games have teams with a lower RPI.com than us. It looks like NE, CU #142, and ISU #114 are the bottom 3 in Big 12 rpi. Oklahoma is #84 and the rest are #64 or better. That means holding serve in two games and probbaly requiring a couple of upsets. Any of our tournament games will be against better opponents. Tough road to hoe.
My most optimistic finish:
at Baylor - L
K-State - W
at Missouri - L
at KU - L
OSU - W
A&M - W
Nebby - W
at CU - W
Missouri - W
at K-State - L

My guess is we finish 6-10 in the leage and finish the season 1 game over .500.

The three game home stretch against non-ranked teams is an absolute must.
It would be awesome to run off 5 in a row going to Manhattan.

Agreed. But we all know how well we play in Boulder.
Even as poorly as this team has played at times, they have a huge opportunity in Waco tomorrow night and Saturday at home against K-State. Win both of those and we are back to .500 with a 4 of 5 game home stretch at the end of the season.
After chipping ice at Oh-dark-thirty this morning before work you are killing my back just thinking about it...

Not trying to nit-pick; you are a very intelligent poster so I just thought you would want to know.
we will deifnatly finish with a winning record. i'd be happy with nit but thrilled if we went on a huge run and made the ncaa's
i voted finish even, but after re-thinking and looking at the last 10, i would expect to finish with another loosing season, so if anyone can change my vote, tia.
Yeah...I voted that ISU would finish even, but even I think that was a pretty optimistic outlook. I really am hoping that 3 game home stretch against OSU, aTm and NU will work in ISU's advantage, but I'm not anywhere near confident they will win more than 1 of those games.
What have you been smoking???? I see possibly 3 wins in that stretch. Have you seen MCD coach lately?? The players are good enough to pull some more wins but I doubt the coaching will allow for that to happen.
