Given that the bar this year is pretty low given last year's results...
Tech at home is winnable, aren't they in disarray?
Glass half-full, it's a very new team, having the tougher games early might be a good thing, they should be improved when the more winnable games happen later.
I expect Tech to slide back to its typical level, but it might take another season or so before it's noticeable. Total guess on my part.
I’m not really sure what games are really winnable. Our frontcourt is going to be really poor defensively. Talent is better overall though than last year. It’s hard to know how other teams will be anymore with everyone transferring or going to the g league all the time. Look forward to getting back into Hilton though with 100% crowds being allowed.
Tech has had our number in Hilton the last three seasons, particularly the last couple of years where they've just plain smoked us on our own home floor. I think they will be down, so that might be a winnable game for us. If nothing else, we owe them.
That's another aspect I like about the schedule. Seems to have been commonplace in recent years. Glad the KU road matchup comes first.
Conditt, Foster, Kunc, and Jones will hold their own.
It could happen.Especially when all 4 are on the court at the same time.
PG- Hunter
SG- Kunc
SF- Foster
PG- Jones
C- Conditt
Do I need the pirate?
If you put the schedule together specifically for a hard start, you'd be hard pressed to do better than that. I'm going to enjoy this year though. I think we will get a few that we shouldn't on paper out of sheer hard work and determination.
I just realized how I’m totally in football mode and also have not paid much attention to college basketball and the big 12 the last couple of years. My first thought was “Baylor and Tech isn’t a terrible start” and then I remembered this was basketball and Baylor just won the natty. It’s nice to actually be excited fir basketball again though!
I wouldn't count Tech and OU as auto losses.
Agreed the only auto losses imo will be both games against both Texas and Kansas. 0-4 in those games I think, just from a pure talent standpoint. But anything is possible.
Not saying we'll beat Tech, but we both have new coaches this year, I'm not sure anything that happened in the past applies.
