Just winning our 3 remaining home games guarantees at least a share of the conference title.
Winning 1 road game and the remaining home games guarantees we win it outright.
Winning out would mean that this team would tie with 2017 Kansas and 2012 Kansas for the second best 18-game Big 12 record. 2020 Kansas was the only team to finish 17-1.
2021 Baylor only played 14 conference games, finishing 13-1. [Reply]

Lightfoot is a foul machine. And in typical Bill Self fashion very predictably plays Clemence zero minutes after two strong performances in a row. Bill wants to win every game so bad. He just wont look at the big picture. Players need PT to get better in season. [Reply]

Hey, this is the year we are that seasoned experienced team without top shelf talent. Those teams can sometimes be annoying in the tournament and have alot of poise. [Reply]

Get a decent draw, get hot at the right time, anything could happen.
Final Four could happen. Sweet 16 exit could happen.
This team could get bounced in the round of 32 just as easy as they could make a s16 or E8. E8 is their ceiling. Rd32 is the floor. Anything in between is very possible. [Reply]

Nonsense. Any Top 40 team can make a Final Four. Any Top 15 to 20 team can win a National Title. I just wouldn't bet on this team. [Reply]

I dunno FF isn't out of the question depending on how things bounce. If we can finish with just a loss to Baylor, I'm guessing that would land us a 2 seed. Depending on what happens with the 1 seed and no shit the bed games a FF isn't out of the question. But no way we make it to the championship [Reply]

Yeah, basically every team that's not 2012 UK can get bounced early and many can win a few in a row.
I mean, except the Covid Jayhawks... they were winning a NC and I have the wine bottle to prove it. [Reply]
