KP projects us to go 9-9.

Good news: front part of conference play is ridiculously loaded. 3 road games to start and arguably the best travel duo coming in to the Keg. It gets easier.

Bad news: Team may have given up in time for the crappy Washington's and Oregon State to save the season. Can we be 5-3 in conference play in time for Oregon's game here? Maybe 4-4?

I started to respond that, at this point, i would be happy with .500.

Then I looked hard at the schedule and gave some sober thought to each game.
  • I expect our opponents to be favored in the next three games. say we grab one of them, we start 1-4.
  • split the road trip to Washington, we're 2-5.
  • Come back home, beat OSU, lose to OU. 3-6.
  • Split the bay area roadie, we're 4-7
  • Sweep the Washington schools at home, 6-7
  • Split the Oregon schools on the road 7-8.
  • Sweep the last three at home finish with a 10-8 Pac record, 20-11 overall.
That's probably not quite good enough for an NCAA at-large bid, but could be good enough for a 4 or 5 seed in the Pac 12 tourney. That's a first round bye, with a winnable game against the winner of the 5/12 game (I'm guessing USC).

Bottom line, I was depressed as hell after last night's loss, but I'm not ready to give up on the season yet. Not even close.

Go Buffs!!!!!
 
WELP. Not really sure what to say.

Basketball is won with your 3 best players, with some exceptions. Part of why I was excited for this season, and haven't given up yet, is that King, Fortune, Dom, and even Wes all have the ability to be our 3rd best player on any given night after White and XJ. But we can't afford all these disappearances. I can see us rattling off an impressive win streak but I can also see the team giving up and losing even worse games than last night. Really hoping something clicks.

We have to catch fire, or turn to next season. That's about where we're at if we want the tourney.
 
I chose 1-4, but didn't think it would come down to the USC game to get the 1 win. Good lord let's please beat USC (who also lost at Utah by 22).
 
Picked 1-4....but thought 0-5 real possibilty...USC is not going to lay an egg like they did against UTES.....wouldn't be surprised if Buffs lost....
