It's that time of year again!
I always love when February rolls around and the bubble talk starts. Don't get me wrong, I'd way rather not have to talk about the bubble and be solidly in the tournament.
However, going into the year with a complete roster rebuild I thought the Cats had no chance, but we do. Our metrics are solid, especially when compared to other bubble teams. We lack the quality wins but have several chances coming up.
If we go 6-4 down the stretch, I believe we'd be IN with where our #'s would end up. Think we can do it? Stokes health is a big factor here but the back end of our schedule does lighten up. Here's my prediction.
@KU - L
OU- L
Baylor- W
@OSU - W
@TCU - W
Kansas - W
Texas - W
@Iowa St - L
TCU - W
@ Tech - L
That would give us the 6-4 we need and 3 top 25 RPI wins. Plus I think we have a chance vs OU and @Tech. Only games I think are for sure losses are @ KU and @ ISU
I know some people will think it's dumb to talk about the cats and the tourney and that we have no shot. But I'm a glass half full guy and enjoy it, plus I like to see what the national perception is of our team and its chances.
And for the Frank fans, there's a SC mention. I've thought for a few weeks now that their season will come down to winning 2/3 against A&M, UK, and Florida. Do that and their in. If not they'll be sweating it on the bubble. And this guy seems to agree.
