Hoops Non-con

Bout the same. We won three conference games. So we were 6-whatever in non con.

That K State game will be big for confidence and getting the season headed in the right direction. Similar programs in a similar rebuild, despite Weber already having a few seasons under his belt that team is in full rebuild.

That's 3 P5 teams we have a descent shot at.

When you say decent shot, do you mean that we have like a 20% chance of winning those games or like an 80% chance of winning those games?

I think we have a chance in every game they lace them up for because anything can happen. I would imagine that most people would have Mizzou as less than 50% chance of winning any of those games. Having said that, yes, I think there are some things about each of those teams that increases our odds of winning.

Toss Up WOFFORD(They had a decent year with decent wins)
Win MARYLAND-EASTERN SHORE
Loss at Xavier
Loss vs. Kansas State*
Loss vs. North Carolina/Northwestern*
Win ARKANSAS STATE
Win NORTHERN ILLINOIS
Win NEBRASKA-OMAHA
Loss at Arizona
Loss NORTH CAROLINA STATE
Loss vs. Illinois**
Win ARKANSAS-PINE BLUFF
Win SAVANNAH STATE

I see 6 wins. 6 losses. So 7-6 if we beat Wofford, 6-7 if we lose to Wofford. I'm going to wear the black and gold sunglasses and say we beat Wofford. I think we could win one in the tournament. If we beat KSU, we'll lose to UNC. If we lose to KSU, we could beat Northwestern.

So I could see 8-5 tops.

Probably just semantics, but I would put Wofford and Northwestern as toss ups. I'd say that KState, NCState and Illinois are the games we have the best opportunity to pull an upset in. I don't think we have a 50/50 chance of winning those games but we're not such big dogs in those games that an upset is out of the question.

Trust me when I so hope you're right about getting to 20 wins. Having said that, regardless of what happens with Wofford, I don't see this team getting to 20 wins. Hell, I include Wofford in just getting to double digit wins, not to 20.
