Which are all still good wins if they can pull it off.
The opportunities are dwindling though so hope for better days.
TJ is fine. Right now he is getting ripped when ISU loses. To be expected. When he starts getting ripped for winning like Prohm was........time to worry.
We'll see, if we do end up getting in still I think we are headed for 10 or 11 territory. Our resume just isn't as good as it looked earlier.
We are not a tournament team and this conference has exposed that. This is one of the worst offensive teams I’ve seen.
Didn't watch because I don't have LHN but knew it wasn't worth the effort.
Lack of offense, inability to change and lack of accurate shooters is a trifecta that defense can't overcome.

I'm beyond overstating on this but that would be fantastic.
Would still take it
Don't think a lot of difference between 3 to 14 seeds this year.
They don’t need good wins. Tech, Texas, and Xavier are plenty strong enough. Those are top 25 wins. Throw in Iowa and zero bad losses and it’s just a matter of getting enough wins to qualify.
ISU isn’t in a unique position either. 18-14 teams with similar resume have made it before
Fans in October: 'This team has issues in the post and guards and hardly any depth...10 wins with a team that plays hard will be OK for year one'.
Now: 'They can't even win in Austin!!???'
In other news KU is going to run away with the conference title.
By like 4 games.

TBH I don't see four more wins so I don't see us in the tournament. My biggest concern is the coaching staff's inability to make adjustments to the offense and that's a longer term problem.
Yeah, I'm with you. Ohio State was an 11 that year they best us with something like an 18-14 record.
Anyone shitting on ANY bid for this team are out of their mind. Play-in game would be FANTASTIC
This coming week will be telling. If we play well and lose in Morgantown it will suck but I can live with it. But lose big and don’t score and then lose at home to KSU next weekend? Ncaa chances are pretty much shot IMO.
As ****** as our offense is I have to remind myself Texas’ defense is one of the best on the country. WVU is beatable. Even on the road.
IF, and it’s a big if, we go 2-0 next week that will be amazing and hopefully a kickstart to a string of wins.

This is correct. They have 9 games left (8 regular/1 conference tourney). I think they will get 5 more wins at least. With no bad losses they are in. What line is of no concern. I thought earlier they were a shoe in single digit seed. Need to rethink that. But I still think they are in and will be a tough out much like the non conference.
From preseason expectations, absolutely. But dismissing outright potential concerns with how it may end up happening isn't totally fair, either.
