Four of our last 5 at home. I'll take it!

Yeah, I skipped the Colorados and ISUs of the world... Mizzou has to take care of CU before their stretch and KSU has some random OOC game and ISU before their stretch.

I'm glad this stretch is coming now, because it'll tell us a lot more about the team. If it was in January (2 road games in Columbia and Manhattan, followed a week later @OU, etc), they would have looked awful to start conference play. Playing KSU at home when they were struggling, Colorado twice in January, and not-terribly-difficult road games in Ames and Lincoln is what they needed at the time, which will only help them now.

I don't take any conference game for granted. Though we should beat both fairly easily at home.

This is fun having this discussion with the 3 schools still very much in it.
