So what will the reaction be IF this season gets turned around?
- Thread starter EarthIsMan
- Start date
I said before WV, based on the fighting, that either they would circle the wagons or fall apart.
So far it looks like "fall apart".
But its never too late to get your **** together. If they re-assemble the Avengers, beat Tech, and win 3 games in the 2 tournaments, then I'd say they got it done.

I don't think it depends on wins and losses. We'll have to see a change in how the team is performing.
For me, win a Big 12 tourney game versus Baylor and then make the Sweet 16. Oh, and play Tech tough (no 20+ point blowout)
I was tempted to put lower expectations, but I keep telling myself that these are the same players that routed Kansas, won at Tech, won at KSU, won at Ole Miss. The pieces are there. They need to figure out what they are made of at this point. No more excuses for the team or the coach.

If this team can get a couple wins in the Big 12 tourney or a couple wins in the NCAA tournament I would feel very good about our future. So a total of 2 post seasons (Big 12 and/or NCAA) wins would be my bar.
Get to a Sweet 16 and I pretend that they just folded it in at the end of the regular season because they had nothing to play for and they were saving it all for a postseason run.
You'll see a boatload of "I told you" posts.
Pull their heads out of their asses and at least play well against TT and in the conference tourney. Beat at least one good high major team on the way to the Sweet 16.
Win one in KC and make a sweet 16 and I would expect all of the "fire Prohm and his stupid tie" posters to all chip in to erect a statue of CSP outside Hilton.
I'd just be happy with a win on Saturday.
TO "turn around the season" It'd have to include a sweet 16 berth. Winning Saturday and the Big 12 tournament would be the easiest way to a better seed and make the Sweet 16 path, easiest

Sweet 16 or beyond is what it will take for me. Don’t care what happens this Saturday or in the Big 12 tourney.
Since the poll allows 3 responses, I chose (a) Beat Tech (b) one win Big 12 tournament (3) Sweet 16.
If neither (a) nor (b) happens first, I don't see anything better than 2-and-out in NCAAT anyway, and even 1-and-one is 50-50.
Winning conference title and going one-and-done wouldn't be the worst thing, compared to any realistic alternatives. I don't think we're capable of winning win 3 games in 3 days.

And. A whole bunch of people becoming ghosts.
I’ll be rootimg hard for them from my living room. None of it’s happening anyway. But it’s very fanlike to imagine.
As long as they are Cyclones, I got their back.
For me, would love to see the team rebound and send the seniors out right against Tech.
Secondly, just beat smug face Drew and Baylor in KC.
Finally, get out of the first round in NCAA.
Anything beyond that is gravy, but would rather have a second win in NCAA (Sweet 16) than a second win in KC.

Agree with this. As a lifelong Cyclone fan I can deal with losing. When the team doesn't look like they care and can't stand each other it makes it hard for me to care about them.
I'm debating if I even want to watch the Tech game. It might be too depressing.
What we have seen over the last 3 weeks has been a good example of how to lose a fan base. If Hilton reverts back to being 1/3 full again, how or who would be required to turn it around again? Hoiberg did it last time.
