Right now, we're 19-3, with 7 regular season games left. I think we'll win at least 4 of them, very possibly more. If we're not in the top 4 going to Vegas, we play one of the bottom 4 teams there, so I'm thinking we win at least 2 there, bringing us up to 25.
If we're 25-7 going into the NCAA tournament, we'd probably be a 6 seed or so. We win the first round game, and then, depending on the matchup, the second as well. That's where the ride ends, and we finish up 27-8. That number of wins would be tied with the 2014-15 team for the second highest in the Rueck era.
I think those numbers are pretty doable, and they could continue to (very pleasantly) surprise me as they have been doing for the last several weeks. That would be a most acceptable season, and vitally important for future recruiting with the traitorous ten breaking up the conference.
What do you guys think?

We are playing so well right now I'm going to be really optimistic and say we win 5 of our last 7 reg. season games and like you I'll say at least 2 wins in Vegas bringing us to 26. I'll go for at least 3 wins in the NCAA Tour. So my final tally would be at least 29-6!

I wouldn't bet against this team. They have yet to have a bad game. One other thing to think about, we are not the same team that the California schools played at the beginning of season and the games are at Gill. I anticipate that the "barn" will be rocking for them.

I was going to say 5 of 7 like Jim but now I gotta go with 6 of 7. This team is still improving every week in my opinion and I think the sky could be the limit. Keeping my fingers crossed that there are no significant injuries of course.

I said last year that the 2022-2023 team would be very much like the 2012/2013 team only a little better. Although they did win more games overall (13 to 10), both teams finished 4-14 in conference. I also said that this year's team would be more like the 2013/2014 team but probably not that good. That team finished 24-11, and 13-5 in conference. Maybe I'm jumping on the 'believer' ship a little too soon, but I don't think this team will lose more than two more games. Six straight wins down the stretch wouldn't surprise me, but I'll pretend we lose one and agree that maybe they go 5-2 down the stretch which would tie the 2013/2014 team with 13-5 in conference. That gets the team to 24 with several more games to go.
I know what matters right now. One more win. That gives the Beavs a minimum 9-9 conference record, and pretty much guarantees a spot in the NCAA tournament. Let's get that win at Colorado! Go Beavs!

Rueck's teams actually won 31+ games in back-to-back seasons in 2015-2016 and 2016-2017. The Final Four team in 2016 finished 32-5. The PAC-12 regular season championship team in 2016-2017 finished 31-5. |

There are 6 games left (4 at home!), and I think we'll win 5 of them to get to 25-4. Still think 2 wins in Vegas and 2 in the tournament, and we finish at 29-6. Get lucky, and it's 30-5. |

I think we win the rest of the conference games. The 3 against ranked opponents are all in Gill and as much as that's a home court advantage I expect the fans to show up ready to roll from the tip off.
We lost to them early in the season on their courts but we were a very different team then. I don't think any team in the conference has made the same improvement.

I'll only add that Stanford will be much better with Brink. They got a huge game from two other players. But they are a different team with her. Plus SR is not going to outwit Tara. Comparative scores don't matter the last result doesn't. It'll be a great matchup. |

After sweeping the mountain schools at home and on the road, I don't think there is any doubt the Beavs can win out now. That's not to say a Stanford, USC, or UCLA couldn't play a great game and beat the Beavs, or that the Beavs have a let down game and lose one, but right now all signs point to the Beavs having a good shot at winning out.
I feel like I'm still playing from behind. I keep saying this team is going to be really good as they grow together and they keep showing me they are way ahead of my schedule. It's been a fun year.

Playing at home and having Beaver Nation there will help but it will take a near perfect game to beat the trees. I agree that the Beavs are a better team than the one that lost to fucla and the trees on the road. I will be glad when brink moves on. Does Tara come back with the move to the BIG?

Theyre going to the ACC, not the B1G. I wouldn’t be surprised if she were to call it a day at the end of this year at age 70. I suspect, however, that she probably doesn’t have anything else that she’d prefer to be doing, and that she will continue to coach as long as she is physically able to. And that she will ultimately leave the Stanford head coaching position “feet-first“. |

We control our destiny in the pac12. If we win our next six games we will at least have a share of the pac12 regular season championship. Not only that but we go into the pac12 tournament as the #1 seed.
At least that's how I read it

6 conference reg season games remaining
3 (or 4) Pac-12 tournament games
6 NCAA tournament games
Currently 20-3
I'm going with 35-3.
(thinking with my heart obviously, not my head).
