I think it is an established fact on this board and to all who know me I am a big spporter and believer inJeff Capel,HOWEVER I have heard and read some comments that lead me to think someboy or bodies have let renewed expectations run amok.I cannot fathom that this team suddenly is now a contendor for a Big 12 top 4 seed or avirtual lock for the NIT.Baby steps people,let's see if this team can beat someone besides ISU on the road before we make this monumental leap .Among others I have heard Blevins,Hale and Rowland in the media and numerous callers and posters say these things.
Personally I would be ticled to finish 8-8 in conference and that will be tough enough to do ,but I can't see us winning enough games to be a #4 seed in the conference tourney.Before the season I picked us to finish 10-4 in noncon,7-9 in conference and 1-1 in the tourney to stand at 18-14 and get an NIT bid.To get there now we have to finish 9-7 in conf and 1-1 in the tourney.
That is possible yet far from a high proability. We still have KU at home,UT at home
,as well as a road rematch with an aTm team that throttled us in Norman,road games at underachieving but talented KSU,MU.Two games remain against oSuwhich should be dogfights,meanwhile Doc Sadler's Corn Boys are playing tough.I don't see a top 4 finsh there no matter how hard I try.I admit I would be ecstatic if we pull it off I just think 17-15 or 18-14 is a more likely scenario.
