9 Games Left...How Many Wins...?

[KAOriginal]

Serious question.

9 games left, 5 home games. Just 7 games out of 1st place...LOL.

Three teams just ahead of us: Fordham not on the schedule, Dayton may be takeable at home and we get Duquesne at home as well.

Richmond, St. B and LaSalle are the next bracket ahead...each currently have 3+ wins.

Can we go 2-7 or better?

Our guys started to get free today. I wouldn't underestimate them right now. It's like being down five in match play. After you give up you become dangerous.

 

[sigmanorm]

Gotta get 1 before we think about 2.

 

[JimP]

Two wins. We suck.

 

[gmujim92]

Until we actually beat somebody, I'm gonna stick with 0-16.

I do think it's mostly psychological at this point, though. If we get one, we could get 3 or 4 and be fairly dangerous in the A-10 tournament.

Im fine with going 0-16 and undeafted in Brooklyn.

Im fine with going 0-16 and undeafted in Brooklyn.

That would be epic.

This could go one of two ways. I've been thinking we might very well do this...

Im fine with going 0-16 and undeafted in Brooklyn.

...but after today, I've gotten suckered into thinking this team is due to break out. We should be able to beat Dayton on Wednesday, and maybe that unlocks the mental logjam and we go 7-2 or better the rest of the way.

 

[smccart5]

The team is ready to go on a tear. I'm thinking 5 wins.

And by thinking I mean praying.

2 wins. All in Overtime

How many overtimes?

 

[phoenix-arizona]

2 to 3.

 

[EXpatriot13]

I'd like to get one win first.

This video popped up on my fb. Made me think of our recent losing streak.
Now, I understand that our outcomes aren't randomly generated... I think. We have players and coaches that dictate the outcome, and the other team has some last minute, oh S we're down, hurry up and enter the cheat code strategy. However, let's pretend that the outcome is random, 50/50, because the more I watch the more I'm not so sure that it's not. My argument is that when a game is tied, or nearly tied (within 4) with little time left on the clock then those last minute shots and rebounds and putbacks and blocks might as well have a random success rate.
Anyways, the probability of a 7 game losing streak (in a randomly generated game) is 0.78%..not 78%
and 254 (back to the point of the video) random games would have to be played to get the 7 L's in a row.

We win out from here. Now the big question is what kind of seed we'll get in the NCAAs. 10?

 

[expendable smurf]

At this point, I'm just hoping that no one gets injured. Because this is a cursed season.

 

[MasonCrew]

This season is cursed, but I still think we go winless in the season and sweep in brooklyn.

 

[gmujim92]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say we finish the RS with 9 consecutive wins.

It's a win-win for me.

If we do, I look like a genius and we'd all be thrilled.

If we don't ... well, like Gunnie said, I'm just some know-it-all jagoff. Who cares what I think?
