A lot of posters are correct in not freaking out at the 3 losses. OU just beat Baylor on the road. OU is legit, Kansas is Kansas and TX is last year's ISU where they we will have some growing pains and loses, but should be a tourney team.

No win is guaranteed, but the big 12 schedule is top heavy for ISU. I am predicting we go 2-2 in the next 4 with home wins against KSU and OU, which will be quality wins and I'm expecting loses at KU and OSU, although we could win those and nobody would be shocked. After that, we have TCU, WVU, Tech, HOME TO TX, TCU, WVU. And while no W is guaranteed, ISU should run off 6 straight heading into KSU. They will finish around 12-6 in the BIG 12 and still have a nice seed to do damage come March.

The tournament is all about 1 team and 1 or 2 players on that team getting hot at the right time and we have those players and that team.

I'm thinking more like 10-8. Still plenty good to make the tournament with around a 6 seed.
 
To think that less than 10 days ago we were talking about conference championships and number 1 and 2 seed in the NCAA tourney

No chance that 10-8 gets us a 6 seed unless we win the conference tourney, too.

TeamRankings.com projects us at 11- 7 and a number #4 seed. Have us at. An 80%+ chance of still being a 6 seed or higher at this point. We lost 3 games we could have won and had we been playing better would have. Losing 3 in a mid season slump after expectations got through the roof. Any time the team is thinking about March instead of the next game bad things can happen. Going 14-0 did that. As long as they don't let their confidence get rattled they will be just fine. Better now than what happened in 2001 when we hit a funk at the end.

Next four games are very important.

2-2 in the next four would be a huge win, IMO. Kansas State next Sat is borderline must win, as must-win as semi-early conference games can get.
 
I was hoping for 13-5 Big 12 after the 14-0 start. Dropping three in a row is going to make that a tough task but its still possible. As brutal as our schedule is for the next three weeks, don't be surprised to see more L's, especially as poorly as we're playing right now.
