Now let's win a BIG game or two on the road and get an all but guaranteed invite to the dance.

Remaining road games. I see 4 legit opportunities, all in red...
January
Ioa
Purdue
Maryland
Wisconsin
February
Oregon
Washington
Northwestern
Pedo State
March
Ohio State
I hope we don't put together a defensive heavy game plan Tuesday against Ioa. It hasn't worked in the last 3 seasons & we expend so much energy on the road. We have enough offense to go heads up, just like Wiscy did the other night with success.

Do you think that we can go undefeated at home this season? Would be cool to keep the 20 game home win streak going.

If Nebraska plays defense like they have, minus the MSU game, they will be in every game the rest of the way.

I do as the home schedule is favorable. Outside of the USC game, we have minimum 3 day rest & prep for all opponents.
Illinois is my question mark due to officiating. If they allow them to play defense like they do at home, we're in trouble.

Our defense was good a season ago too, and we struggled on the road (0-fer in conference). Heck IIRC, every opponent of ours scored 80 or more in every B1G road game except Indiana. ?? Scoring points matters, too...
We have to have a good balance without expending too much energy on 1 side of the court.
Tuesday night is a legit win opportunity on the road.

There's the real home cooking factor by b1g refs but 0fer was not good for us.

In fairness, we did beat Indiana and Michigan on the road. But stealing a quad 1 win or two on the road early in the season would do wonders for this team and I think would help seeding wise come March.
This team is too good to not be the one that gets this done, in my opinion.

Teams tend to shoot better at home than the road. Our defense is going to allow people to get open looks from 3. Higher percentage at home plus refs selling hard for home teams with foul and free throw calls makes it difficult for us to replicate success in true road games.
