W Arizona State (we had to play good, but I expected a win) we all thought we played great. Maybe Arizona State is not as good as expected or maybe we did play good. Saunders was amazing!
Lost @ Houston (one of the best teams in the country) got thumped/embarrassed expected a loss here
Lost Texas Tech (This would have been a huge home win and it could have gone either way) we folded/didn’t bounce back with a purpose from the Houston embarrassment
W @ TCU (should be a big win on the road)
W Oklahoma State
W @ Utah (redemption)
W @ Colorado (need to step up for the road win)
W Cincinnati (remember last year… it can’t happen again… this will be a very big win if we can pull it off… Cincy is the real deal)
I know it sounds crazy to say we will be 6-2right here… we could easily be 4-4 but we need to be close to 6-2. Hopefully, we can get correct our poor start in conference play because we have a very tough stretch coming up here next.
It could be four consecutive losses. It would be great to grab a win in here somewhere. Most likely chance would be at UCF or at home against Arizona.
If we don’t have a pretty good record before we hit this point, it could get real ugly/discouraging right here.
When all is said and done, we probably lose a game or two above and win one or two here below.
L Baylor (sweet 16 caliber squad)
L @ Central Florida (tough to win on the road, long trip… better team does not always win)
L Arizona (Arizona can be up and down. This would be a great win if we could pull it off)
L @ Cincinnati (sweet 16 caliber team on their own floor)
Hopefully, we can pull out a win somewhere in the stretch above, even though I have them all marked as losses….. the game below in West Virginia won’t be easy either.
L @ West Virginia (This will be a tough one) I originally had this as a win, but after the way, we played against Houston and Texas Tech. I’ve changed it to a loss.
W Kansas State
L Kansas (yeah that Kansas… miracles don’t happen every year)
L @ Arizona
L @ Arizona State (road games are tough… Arizona State is decent… if KY really gets this squad clicking together this could be a win)
W West Virginia
L @ Iowa State (final four caliber team on the road)
W Utah
It’s likely that we win a couple that we shouldn’t and we lose a couple that we shouldn’t. Would be great if we won a couple that we shouldn’t and hold on to the expected wins.
So I have BYU at 9-11 if they can right the ship. Originally, I had them at 11-9. I think worst case scenario is 7 wins (barring major injuries). Best case is probably 11 wins in the toughest conference in all the land.
