5 game stretch

[TourneyBound]

We got a very tough 5 game stretch coming up so Im curious.

[Huskerpapa]

I am cautiously optimistic yet somewhat pessimistic with my guess

[hskr4life]

I'm really hoping 2.  Before the season I would have said 3 or 4.  After the first four games, I would have said 0... so my rollercoaster of fan emotions is on the way up again I guess!

[tcp]

this realy is a brutal stretch, isn't it. yikes. 

 

my impulse is zero, but they're skilled enough to sneak off vvith a couple. 

 

i split the difference. 

 

is there anyone on there that vvouldn't be an upset?

 

 

[AuroranHusker]

       

 

 

From Dec. 1 to Dec. 19, that's the gauntlet... It seems like 1-2 is max. for wins, K-St. and N.C. St. seem to be the more likely of the 5, from my view at this moment in time.

Maybe... MAYBBBEEEE Kansas State wouldn't be an upset.  At least a HUGE upset with it being at home.

[Chuck Taylor]

I took 2.

 

NC State is winnable, so is Michigan at home. K State is a must win if we have any hopes of putting together a decent season. I don't think we're ready yet for Auburn or Indiana away from the friendly PBA confines.

[Nighthawk]

I'm going to be totally going off my rose colored glasses and say 5.   Lol my mind says zero...maybe one...my heart says 5. 

 

Lol unlucky in love, unlucky in basketball...but hell keep trying. 

[Handy Johnson]

Wolfpack starting Center is OUT & they want to Run-n-Gun too so expect a close game we can win. Michigan, KState at home Could/Should be Wins, & then steal one @ Indiana or Auburn. Winning Zero or 1 sets the table for another long Winter…

[SkersHoops]

GOOD:

Cats (Bearkats, Bengals, Jaguars, Tigers,)

Wild Dogs: (Coyotes)

 

BAD:

Pet Dogs: (Bulldogs)

Birds: (Blue Jays)

 

NC St.: W

(wild dog)

 

Indiana: L

(A bulldog named Ox served as the football team's first mascot from 1959 to 1965.)

 

Michigan: ??

(The Mustelidae are a family of carnivorous mammals, including weasels, badgers, otters, ferrets, martens, minks and wolverines) Hopefully this is good?

 

Auburn: W?

(Tiger....... or is it War Eagle?)

 

Kansas St: W

(Cats)

2-3 or 3-2

I bet there will be a decent amount of purple here for that Kansas St game.  Better win that or they'll power cat us out of the building.

I’d pay extra if they wore lavender tops with dark purple shorts, OR had Willy the Wildcat throw down some dunks during warmups…(in full regalia) 

[PimpMario]

I think 0-5 is a distinct possibility.  But you gotta expect we make some buckets one of these games so I am hoping we can get 1 of the 4 remaining. 

[Cazzie22]

Michigan is not playing well but we have no answer for Dickinson.  I just want good effort and improvement.

[Handy Johnson]

Indiana is the one  "Blue Blood" programs we've actually had some success with since joining the Conference. Let's see if that 4OT Tobacco Road Thriller inspired us or left left us with little to nothing left in the tank... 

[cornfed24-7]

I would like to change my answer from five to four

I think it'll be a little of both. I think they come out fairly inspired but won't have enough in the tank to finish the deal. IU did have a 2OT excruciating loss on the road the day before, so maybe they'll be fighting some of that, too. That extra game time and day to recover is a lot, though... Tomorrow is gonna be tough. I feel a lot better about Tuesday.

KState is about the only one where I'm optimistic we have better than a 50% shot at. 

The rest I'm just praying we surprise someone and get one more.

If we can't beat K-State, then we'll be punching a one-way ticket to Palookaville.

 

 

 

[cornfed24-7]

Gonna have to change that prediction from four to three. I am starting to feel like I might be changing my prediction about this five game stretch a few more times  

[busticket]

I am still alive and kicking.  I picked 1, and I was thinking KSU.

And I'm starting to think you may be wrong too

[cornfed24-7]

The four that picked zero have to be feeling pretty good right about now.

[tcp]

KSU's in play, and I think us 1's are okay still. If NU loses that, it deserves to languish in that sublime 150_ rpi territory for theyear. 

[GoBigRed]

Kansas State only chance in my opinion. I cheated and just voted now for 0.
