Don’t do this. It’s not even 2024 yet. Tons of pain still possible.

The NET Rankings haven't updated yet today, and frankly its such an annoying metric.

If we want to have a serious talk about this basketball team and the Bubble, I think this is what they have to do at a minimum:

1. Obviously win these next two Non-Cons vs. Sisters of the Poor- That gets them to 11-2 going into January.

2. Really have to beat Indiana at home. - That's a quad 1 win.

3. Absolutely need to beat Minnesota, Penn State, and Rutgers.

4. Need to find wins on the road at places like Cockeye.

5. Need to finish 10-8 in the league the rest of the way. - at a minimum.



I think 20-10 with 3 or 4 Q1 wins and no losses beyond Q2 gets them in this season.

That Minnesota game is going to haunt us. Before the 4 game stretch my friend and I had this conversation:
0-4 - Fire Fred now
1-3 - Pretty typical
2-2 - NIT?
3-1 - The curse is gone, NCAA tourney bound
4-0 - Final Four, let’s go!

Fucking Minnesota.

No its not. Its a Quad 2 loss and will likely remain in that spot all season long. Now if they lose the return game in Lincoln, THAT would be a bad loss.

Yeah. The second half was absolute trash especially coming after the deep dicking from Pickle Smoochers but the loss wasn't really bad for the resume. Missed opportunity, sure

If they go 9-9 the rest of the way in conference that would have them entering the B1G Tournament at 20-11. You have to think that no matter from there what they do in the B1G Tournament they'd be in.

Hope so, but 22-9 in 2017-2018 only got the NIT.

That was a sham job that year.

 

[Boondock_St_Sker]

The first four B1G games after SCS are pivotal to what this team will be the rest of the season. Indiana, Wiscy, Purdue, Cockeye...if the boys go 2-2 (that's a stretch) that would be great. The Home, Away, Home, Away, Away...brutal. I'd love to see the Purdue game just to see the entity that is Edey and to judge how large that cranium is in real life.

Bracketology: Will Purdue win a national championship after losing to a No. 16 seed?

This would be the same path taken by Virginia after its historic loss to 16-seed UMBC in 2018, with the Cavaliers rebounding to capture the 2019 NCAA title.

Too bad the season doesn't end today. A lot of time for the Simulation to take hold and ruin MBB's chances.
