How many more wins?

[LarryISU]

With the way things are going, seems like they'll win out at home and lose out on the road.

So win Kansas, TCU and Okie State? Just that alone will be a very difficult task. Dang, our team is pretty good and yet we are in last place. Just a lot of growing pains and tough breaks this year.

I think it takes 4-2 + 1 in KC to get in.

4-2 plus getting to Friday in Kansas City will be necessary to get in. At minimum that would be 18-14 in the nation's best conference with at least 7-8 wins against other tournament squads.

That being said I think we go 2-4 the rest of the way with a win on Tuesday (Kansas) and against Oklahoma State. We go 1-1 in KC and finish the year at 17-15 just outside of the NIT.

P5 teams don't make the other tourneys typically.

Yeah, I guess you're right. I thought they used to.

Last year's team also had road wins over OSU and KSU who both made the tournament, now whether you consider those good road wins is up to you, but that's 3 wins on the road over tournament teams. If you have a weak Non-con like we do then you need something else to point to such as road wins.

Yep, road wins over tournament teams are good wins by any metric.

I haven't gone back to look, but what about the other 5 tourney teams?
Road wins would be great. I'm all for it, but I don't believe we need them.

You need road wins. Even marginal road wins. Either that or some really good neutral court wins.
