Predictions

[Bevo]

There's one week left until conference play, and at the risk of overlooking this weekend's games, I'd like to reopen the predictions for conference finishes. Here's mine:

1) Iowa State. They are off to another great start and always seem to play well despite not being terribly deep. Their advantage this year is getting to play the South Division's "Big 3" of OU, BU, and TTU at home in Ames.

2) Oklahoma. Another fantastic start and they have already faced probably the most hostile environment in the country. A perceived lack of inside strength could spell trouble against ISU in Ames, however.

3) Baylor. Surprise? No. Although the pre-conference schedule has been relatively weak, Coach Kim is building confidence in the newcomers to compliment the dynamic duo. An upper tier finish is more than just a dream for this group.

4) Colorado. Although they haven't set the world on fire so far, this veteran group will pull together and do great things in conference play. The schedule presents a challenge with trips to Waco, Lubbock, and Norman (as well as the home-and-home with ISU).

5) Texas Tech. The Raiders are starting to gel after some early turmoil. If they can improve their free throw shooting and gain a little more confidence, they may finish higher.

6) Kansas State. The youngsters are ready to set the world on fire. Sometimes a younger team plays with more abandon and with less to lose than a veteran bunch. If the 'Cats do that this year, Manhattan will not be a friendly place to visit.

7) Texas. If the Ladies don't reverse recent trends, they will find themselves out of contention early (NU and CU road games are up first, followed by ISU and TTU at home). They will need inspired, intense, and consistent performances each night in order to keep up with the top half of the league.

8) Missouri. Somewhat of an unknown, not having played an incredibly difficult schedule, but with some very good players (Barr, Unrau). Hard to judge at this point. Could be higher or lower than this.

9) Nebraska. Another unknown, but as Cannon and Robinette continue to mature, they could be a tough out. If the other role players step up, they could even be knocking at the door of the top half.

10) Oklahoma State. At the beginning of the season, I had them 7th, but they have not shown much promise so far. Still, it is a veteran squad that will fight to stay out of the cellar.

11) Tie. Kansas and Texas A&M. This one will come down to their matchup in Lawrence. Not much hope for these two based on their early performances. However, my Longhorns do have to play the Jayhawks in Lawrence on Senior night. That could be an embarrassing loss.

Here's looking forward to an exciting race.

It is a huge advantage for ISU to get OU, BU, and TTU in Ames this year. However, I think this is finally OU's year to beat Iowa State. OU has already shown it can handle great inside play - as long as it doesn't come in the form of a great three-pronged tandem as at UCONN. And even then, OU forced UCONN to keep its starters in the entire game until the waning seconds.

Coach Coale always has several goals each year. She always wants to do something that the team hadn't done before. You know before the season those goals were in random order: 1) Win the N.C. 2) go to the Final Four (well, consolidate 1 and 2) 3) beat UCONN 4) win the Big 12 Tourney, and definitely 5) finally beat Iowa State for once! OU wants this game bad. And even though OU ain't super-deep, I feel its deeper than ISU. We'll see, this should be a great game.

So I go OU as #1, and ISU as #2.

I still have to go with Tech at #3 despite the chemistry problems. I underestimated Coach Sharp once, I won't do it again. You just feel they will get everything going once conference season begins.

Baylor plays Colorado Feb. 20th in Waco. Because its in Waco, I want to give Baylor 4th and CU 5th. However, Baylor has to play Tech, OU, and Texas twice. Colorado plays ISU twice. Baylor will have to play in the tougher Big 12 South. Ugh, I don't know which way to go here. Guess I'll go with Colorado 4th and Baylor 5th.

6) Kansas State. The youngsters are ready to set the world on fire. Sometimes a younger team plays with more abandon and with less to lose than a veteran bunch. If the 'Cats do that this year, Manhattan will not be a friendly place to visit.

7) Texas. If the Ladies don't reverse recent trends, they will find themselves out of contention early (NU and CU road games are up first, followed by ISU and TTU at home). They will need inspired, intense, and consistent performances each night in order to keep up with the top half of the league.


OU has to travel to Manhattan. The game kind of scares me. I agree with your assessment on Texas. Wonder if the team will just fold if they get off to a bad start in conference play.

8) Missouri. Somewhat of an unknown, not having played an incredibly difficult schedule, but with some very good players (Barr, Unrau). Hard to judge at this point. Could be higher or lower than this.

Mizzou was beaten handily by Illinois. Illinois is athletic but looked undisciplined. Have to wonder about them. Right now, I think I'd put Nebraska 8th. MU has to travel to OSU. I say OSU wins that and takes 9th in conference. I'll put Mizzou 10th.

11) Tie. Kansas and Texas A&M. This one will come down to their matchup in Lawrence. Not much hope for these two based on their early performances. However, my Longhorns do have to play the Jayhawks in Lawrence on Senior night. That could be an embarrassing loss.


At least Kansas knocked off Wichita State while A&M loses to the UALR and Wright State's of the world. Kansas is 11th in my poll, while A&M is way, way down in 12th.

I'd wait till after the 31st. http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/smile.gif If Tech can give Vandy a loss or even a good game then the predicted standings could all change.....

They won't change in my book. I expect TT to be VERY competitive with Vandy and I put them 3rd behind #1 OU and #2 ISU. Now if TT shows off very poorly I might knock them down a bit. I take coach Fennely very seriously when he said that the injury to Erica Junod was the "worst day of my basketball life". In spite of the fact that ISU is clipping along so far, I think her loss for the season will be a big blow to the Cyclones. On top of that, they don't match up well with KSU and they do have to come to Manhattan. Now don't get me wrong, I have incredible respect for the Clones but for some reason we seem to give them problems. Having said that I think they are pretty safe in Ames January 2cd. Baylor comes to Manhattan on January 5th and I am really looking forward to that game. It could be fun. I just hope my teen queens and Granny Rethman don't get run over by the early Big 12 schedule. If they don't we could have some fun here, but, the point guard spot is very unsettled do to the injuries to Hanson and Domenico. That's not a good thing going into the conference schedule. OK, so back to the predictions.

OU #1, ISU #2, TT #3, BU #4, CU #5, KSU #6, UT #7, NU #8, MU #9, OSU #10, KU #11 and TAMU #12.

I think Ceparo coming back to NU now that volleyball is over will be a big help and their newcomers are getting adjusted. Otherwise I pretty much agree with Schooner.

[KSUron]

Oh! and I forgot, Schooner I don't think you need to worry too much about your trip to Manhattan. If OU plays anything like it can, I think the match-up in that one favors OU (not to mention the talent and experience). Maybe next year.

[swok34]

boy, talk about some mixed up signals in trying to predict the Big 12......I, too, think it's OU's year to win in Ames. The Connecticut game helped OU tremendously in achieving that purpose.
so, for now (and it certainly may change, for me)....I say:

1) OU....ah, it's this year or it's a few years down the road; IMO..meaning final four and the NC.
2) ISU....hmmmmm, always a challenge.
3) Texas Tech...I overlooked TT one year and I don't now.
4) Colorado....this 4 & 5 spot is a toss-up to me.
5) Baylor...ditto, above.
6) Texas.....they could easily jump up
7) Kansas State.....ditto, Texas, but the youth may prevent.
8) Nebraska....another team that could present a challenge.
9) Oklahoma State...always finish well no matter how they start.
10) Missouri....lost too much to do much better.
11) Kansas...wonder if Marion Washington will retire soon, I really think a lot of her as a coach, but between her, Conradt and Halterman......seems they've been with their teams forever.
12) Texas A & M......maybe Gillom can make a run for the 11 spot.

[CyFanRick]

Well, the big 12 hasn't started and we are already trying to pick the finish. I predict a GREAT season! It is definately an advantage for ISU to play Oklahoma, Texas Tech, and Baylor at home this year. But let's not overlook the other southern teams that ISU has to play on the road. Irregardless of W/L record in the pre-season, these teams are tough on their home turf. K-State and Colorado will also give them fits on the road. The big question is "can Oklahoma break the Cyclones home winning streak?" It will be one of the bigger games of the year! Being a die hard Cyclone fan, I have to give the win to the home team. Could be Oklahoma's only loss of the big 12 season. The Big 12 tournament could be another story and Oklahoma could win there (providing both teams make it far enough to be matched up). Overall, I have to give the final figures this way:

#1 Oklahoma
#2 Iowa State
#3 Baylor
#4 Texas Tech
#5 Colorado
#6 Kansas State
#7 Texas
#8 Missouri
#9 Oklahoma State
#10 Nebraska
#11 Texas A & M
#12 Kansas


Go Big 12
Go http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/isu.gif

[Jennifer]

It should be a great conference season. I'd love to see OU go undefeated, but it will be tough.

1. OU
2. ISU
3. Texas Tech
4. Colorado
5. Baylor
6. Kansas State
7. Texas
8. Missouri
9. Nebraska
10. OSU
11. Kansas
12. Texas A&M

[Bob_Ballew]

As much as I would like to see http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/bu.gif win it all, I am going to pick them 3rd. Baylor should be much better on the road this year. That has been their downfall in recent years. It will be a fun conference race by this year's top teams. It may be much closer than anyone expects. Here are my picks.

1 Oklahoma
2 Iowa State
3 Baylor
4 Colorado
5 Texas Tech
6 Kansas State
7 Texas
8 (Tie) Oklahoma State & Nebraska (I could not make a decision)
10 Missouri
11 Texas A&M (My daughter goes to A&M, she can only hope that they don't wind up in the cellar)
12 Kansas

[BenEClone]

The formula to beating the Clones (or any zone defense) has been easy. Hit outside shots. OU has multiple weapons for that and thus has the best chance. If they have a good night from the perimeter, they'll win. ISU plays a zone with two girls moving to the ball. A good passing team can find the open shooter with a quick release who gets a good shot because the clones' guards haven't been quick enough to respond. I think ISU has more speed and athleticism in the guard position now than in the past and though the depth has been suspect to this point, frosh Paustian and Fox are showing great speed and defensive ability which should help in conference play. Anderson purportedly has greater athleticism but needs more control. Fennelly has been working with different defense already. Prediction - When OU gets to Ames, it will see more than a straight up zone. Also, even if a team scores, ISU will score more with multiple inside and outside threats of its own.

[Amanda]

1. OU
2. ISU
3. Texas Tech
4. Texas
5. Colorado
6. Baylor
7. Kansas State
8. Missouri
9. Nebraska
10. OSU
11. Kansas
12. Texas A&M

I think this year the conference title is OU's to lose. The top 6 teams will be really tough, and it really wouldn't surprise me if the teams I have listed 1-8 go on a run and surprise people. I honestly, truly believe Tech will be a better team minus Pierson. Talent is one thing, chemistry is another. I'd rather have chemistry with good players than tension with great ones.

I think Baylor is going to surprise people, in a bad way. I think they are totally overrated. I believe KMR (notice how if you reverse her initials, it comes out RMK...like that dude in Lubbock) is a great coach and that she will improve BU leaps and bounds over the next few years. Lambert and Crockrum are talented...I just don't see the team being THAT good. BU won't sneak up on anybody this season.

[DblT81]

Ditto what Amanda said.

1. OU
2. ISU
3. Texas Tech
4. Colorado
5. Texas
6. Baylor
7. Kansas State
8. Missouri
9. Nebraska
10. OSU
11. Kansas
12. Texas A&M

[BEAR SKIN]

My still uneducated guess:
1. ISU
2. OU
3. BU
4. Tech
5. CU
6. TU
7. KSU
8. MU
9. OSU
10. NU
11. KU
12. A&M

Had some time to kill, so I compared this thread's predictions with those made mid October. Only 5 of us have predictions on both threads: Swok34; CyFanRick; Bevo; Jennifer; and myself.

In this extremely limited sampling, I've noticed some changed perceptions of some teams. In the last 10 weeks, KSU has significantly improved, while OSU has fallen in perceived strength. Baylor, by the way, has also been seen to be better than before. (Amanda did not vote in the last thread)

I understand (but do not agree with Amanda's thought process). BU's top two deserve their top billing in the league, but we have no stars after those two and we haven't really played top competition. However, if you look closely at the stats, specifically the minutes played, you'll see that Lambert and Crockrom haven't been playing near the minutes they averaged last year, and BU is still blowing most opponents off the court with Freshmen. Bottom line, I agree, Amanda, that Baylor will not sneak up on anyone this year, but they will wear many teams out with intense defense and a very deep bench that KMR has given valuable experience (without any chairs being thrown.)

Look for significant contributions from Blackmon, Sords, and Hammerly inside; & Davis and Lauren Selmon (third and probably most athletically gifted of the Selmon sisters) outside.

[metromaniac]

Going to step out on a limb in a topr 5 choice--other than that----would say this is fairly predictable, as predictions go:

1) OU
2) Baylor
3) Texas Tech
4) ISU
5) Colorado
6) Kansas State
7) Texas
8) Nebraska
9) OSU
10) Missouri
11) Kansas
12) Aggies

Just have a feeling Stephanie Blackmon will play big and bigger as conference moves along. Clones will falter a couple of times on the road. Sharp will get them sharper.

GO http://hoopscoop.net/ubb/ou.gif

[swok34]

I think Baylor's going to better than some think.....recall Baylor's weakness last year.....on the road and lack of an effective shooting guard meaning they had to move Lambert over to that position and if I remember right, play the PG position by committee....I think they've got the help they need this year and I agree lots of folks will be surprised......

I say OU #1 because after the UConn game, they deserve their Top 5 ranking.....I just don't see Iowa State falling out of the top when they get the "toughest" games in Ames. I under-rated TTU in year '00 and boy was I wrong!.....

ought to be an interesting season, because besides Kansas and Texas A & M.......everything else, IMO, is a toss-up....will Kansas State's youth handle the pressure? will the revived Nebraska make a run for the top? lots of questions about a lot of teams.

[RaiderPower1]

See...wait until after this weekend! I will not give my predictions though, but I will say that Tech has proven that they won't be out of it with OU and ISU to win the Big XII...

[ChipperF1]

Welcome to the Midwestern Ardennes. Big 12 2002
Pre-Conference season projections.

1. Oklahoma....I'll stay with the Sooners, but they'll have a deadly Cyclone chasing them.

2. Iowa State...Iowa State has OU at home, but can the Cyclones continue to match-level teams without getting clipped by somebody

3. Texas Tech...My preseason selection to win league. This team still plays well and will still be a serious contender, but the big question is: Is Pierson addition by subtraction?

4. Colorado.....The LSU win shows what happens when their guards show up to play. Bjorklund and Hartshorn have been on it from game one.

5. Baylor.......Lambert-Crockrum is doing what they do, but I like the surrounding talent. HOWEVER, they still have a lot to prove against the 4 teams ahead of them, I don't see them having enough in the tank.

6. Kansas State....Young hearts on fire. This team will win the second division and take a spot in the NCAA draw, too.

7. Texas......An NCAA tournament team, in 2003. This group is greener than I thought they'd be and play like.
An early game projection. Texas will open Big 12 play 0-1.

8. Missouri...Karensa Barr's the best college player in Missouri right now, and Missouri is the best college team in the state right now. A definite WNIT team. Beating SMS and UNI was two big feathers in their cap. Will they beat a first division team? No.

9. Nebraska....As expected, they went 10-3. They can beat anyone in the second division. They can't beat anyone in the first division. But they should win just enough to grant Paul Sanderfraud one more year.

10. Oklahoma State...You are never sure which Cowgirls show up. The gritty team that took George Washington to the end of the game or the team that allowed Wichita State to intimidate them for 40 minutes.

11. Kansas.......Marian Washington, It's time to say goodbye.

12. Texas A&M....Abandon Hope, all ye who enter here.

[elfdenmom]

I think the first five spots could end up any which-a-way depending on injuries and who's hot and who's not on any given day; but here goes:

1. OU
2. Texas Tech (hey! this is my team!)
3. ISU
4. Baylor
5. Colorado
6. KSU
7. Texas
8. Missouri
9. OSU
10. Nebraska
11. Kansas
12. Texas A&M

Texas held Robinette. Stephens dominated the board while Schreiber and Cook were consistent down the stretch. UT could give Colorado trouble on Sunday if CU overlooks the Lady Horns.

[soonerborn]

Thought I'd get in my first post of the year with the New Year Predictions!

1. Oklahoma - in order to edge out the rest of the pack - the sloppy play must be cleaned up!

2. Texas Tech - cheating a little here with ISU close win over San Diego and their loss to KSU - I flip-flopped 2 & 3

3. ISU - is the real Cyclone team going to wait until the Big XII tourney to make a move??

4. Kansas State - an unprecedented move to 4 after the upset special

5. Baylor - start out like a house-a-fire - but need to learn to finish - big test this weekend in Manhattan

6. Texas - early losses to Miami & Penn St. move them to the middle of the pack

7. Nebraska - traveling to Ames they must stay focused

8. Missouri - drubbed by a mediocre Illinois team and must rally to beat Wisc-GB - not quite the year of Tiger

9. Colorado - scrappy play at guard - Bjorkland has one shot - not ready for prime time

10. Kansas - the blue and red may sneak up on someone toward the end of the season - or not

11. Oklahoma State - lots of hope at the beginning - but that was before they started Big XII play

12. Texas A&M - Peggie Gillom may have the talent with Williams, Mitchell and Moore to move up from the basement and avoid March play-in game in KC

[two cents]

Since registering, all I've done is make a few predictions and play hoopla!. I guess it's time to put a couple pennies worth of thoughts on the board. I made conference projections on Wed. Here are some opinions to go with those projections.

Top Three

I picked Tech and Oklahoma to tie for a conference championship. If I absolutely had to pick one of these two to finish ahead of the other, I'd go with Oklahoma. They are better than Tech right now, but Tech is only just beginning to gel. The players' roles are becoming defined. As the players grow more fully into their roles, Tech will improve significantly. They may be slightly better than Oklahoma by season's end. This leads me to a peculiar expectation that each team will win on the other's home court.

1--Oklahoma---Strength: Four talented, determined seniors. Throw in a supporting cast that includes Caton Hill and Dionnah Jackson, and there really is no limit to what this group can accomplish. I, too, will be disappointed if they don't make the final four.
Weakness: We all know they lack depth and size in the front court, but if they overcome this weakness in every game-- is it one. After all, the Sooners are accustomed to the match-up problems. Their opponents are rarely prepared for the quickness and precision in breaking down a defense that Dales & Co. bring with them. Still, this weakness may bite them once or twice in conference play.

Caufield: She has noticeably improved her game again, as she has done each year. LaNeishea must work really hard during the offseason to round out her game---bodes well for the WNBA.

Ross: My heart goes out to this kid every time she takes the court. I remember reading that she had a serious knee injury(s) in high school. Because she attended an impoverished, inner-city schood district, no evaluation/diagnosis was made and no treatment offered. She played through the pain while her knee(s) essentially disintegrated. Every time she plays, she suffers. How tough is this kid?----what a love for the game. One of my all-time favorite players on this basis alone.

Dales: Seems to pressing a bit this year. Appears to be making more mistakes than last year. Still, Stacey is a tremendous player, does amazing things, and is fun to watch. If she relaxes a little, this team will move up a notch. If she surpasses last year's level of play by season's end, this will be the best team in the country.

1--Texas Tech(my team)---Strength: Versatility. I am as sorry as anyone to see Plenette suspended from the team whatever the details may be. However, one strange side effect of the dismissal has been increased offensive versatility. Forced passes to the interior, turnovers, and predictability are down. Ball movement, player movement, quality passes, and variety of scoring options are up. We can put combinations of players on the floor to create defensive mismatches for opponents, and we can put defensive combinations on the floor to match an opponent's offense. Even with Pierson and Brown gone, Tech has combinatorial depth. If the players accept their roles, victories will follow.
Weakness: Inexperience. Even though Tech lost only one senior last year, this is still a young team(more so without Pierson). They have yet to prove that they can be sturdy enough on the road, and as yet have not shot as well from the perimeter on the road as at home. The youngsters have to develop the grit necessary to win road games against excellent opponents.

Once Upon a Time, the Lady Raiders were known as a very good/great offensive team which played good defense. In recent years, they have been known as a great defensive team with decent or better offense. It's time for them to play great ball on both ends of the court. This year, the player combinations available to the coaching staff make that possible. I'm anxious to see how it unfolds.

3--Iowa State---Strength: Confidence. These players know they can compete for a conference championship every year; know they have superb schemes on both offense and defense; know they can have a home regional this year if they hold seed. I do wonder, though, if overconfidence early in games is causing them a problem.
Weakness: They lost a little more experience than the other upper division teams and Junod's injury hurts. They have fewer threats behind the arc than in recent years.

It is difficult and somewhat arbitrary to place them behind the other two, especially with Tech and OU coming to their friendly confines. I just think they will not be quite as consistent as they would like to be this year, and that will put them third in the standings. Come tournament time, I think Iowa State has essentially as good a chance as Tech and OU of making the Final 4.

Bevo, you ain't the only one who was off. We have all blown it thus far. I can't wait to see what next week brings.
