Pretty sure we need to sweep this week at home to have any shot at the NCAA

We have to play out of our ass tonight and not have any let down against Michigan.

Biggest week of the year. Teams like NC State who were 13-7 last night and pulling the upset of Duke off at home, just took a big step up on us.

Technically we can still win the B1G Tournament and make it.

meh.. we win 10 Big Ten games, we're in. Of course, as usual, it will depend on the wacky mid-major tournaments, if some non-tournament team wins their conference tourney, etc.

I think 10 gets us in. A win against Purdue, Wisconsin, or Maryland would help.

Ride Winston hard but can't Ellis bring the ball up? Shit didn't Mcquaid run some point for us last year? Langford?

He's just getting way too many minutes and we can't afford to have him out there being a non threat on offense, getting dominated by bigger guards, and no assists as well. I do not want to miss the tourney. We are well on our way.

Getting dominated by bigger guards? Based on what? One guy having a career game? Was Tum Tum on Blackmon the whole game?

Did Bridges going 4-17 have anything to do with us losing? How about his crappy (at times almost indifferent) defense?

Is it all on Tum Tum?

McQuaid at point? Dude.

Langford could play point. I'll give you half credit for that one.

Must..........have..........a.......scapegoat

Looking at the remaining schedule, the easy way would be win all remaining games at home and we are in (11-7 in conf with Ws over UW and PU).

Probably wont do that, so if we lose one of those games we would need to beat UM, NE or PU on the road to get to 11-7.  

Lose both UW and PU at home would require wins over UM and NE on the road+1 quality win in the BTT or 2 wins over lesser teams depending on our seed and how we play.

I think those are pretty much our only realistic chances at this point.  

I'm not worried.
