Oklahoma jumped to 50th to give us a second Q1 win. New Mexico at 58 is moving towards a Q1 win.

New Mexico is going to win 23 to 25 games. That's a really good MWC team.

I love ya corn but you were calling them a trash team in that game thread lol. Truth be told they and K State both played us tough. Hopefully KSU does well in Big 12 play too but their D does suck.

Surely if Nebraska made it to the tournament as a 3, there’s no way they couldn’t win a game.

I'm sure you did that on purpose

You underestimate the simulation

A week ago I was looking at our schedule trying to find the path to 10 wins in conference.

Now what?

Torvik has us going 13-7 after yesterday and favored in every home game including MSU.

I think 12 is a good expectation but if we can stay healthy and keep shooting well there is no reason we can't finish in the top 4 of the conference.

14 would have put us in a tie for second last year.

Did you just steal my Fred Chat GPT and turn it into Grinch? Amazing

Jan - Michigan State (Q1), @ Ohio State (Q1), @ Indiana (Q1),

This stretch right here will be big to tell us if we're a standard tournament team or a potential high seed. Would be awesome to win 2, bananas to win 3.

I did and in that first half, they were awful. Then they played better in the 2nd half, really beat up on Miss State the next night and have been great since.

They found themselves after that tournament.

I remember that game well. Was a huge bummer. Then in college one of my best friends was a huge Xavier fan, grew up in Cincinnati and went to St. Xavier HS. At the time it was pretty much Xavier’s best win ever and he never let me forget it. Brought it up as often as possible… 😒

Here's how I see it...

Must-win games:
12/21 - North Dakota
12/30 - New Hampshire
1/13 - Oregon
1/21 - Washington
2/14 - Northwestern
2/21 - Penn St
2/25 - Maryland
3/8 - Cockeye

Coin-flip games:
12/10 - Wisconsin
1/17 - @Northwestern
1/24 - @Minnesota
2/7 - @Rutgers

Games to steal:
12/13 - @Illinois
1/2 - Michigan St
1/5 - @Ohio St
1/10 - @Indiana
2/1 - Illinois
2/10 - Purdue
2/17 - @Cockeye
2/28 - @USC
3/3 - @UCLA

Only game not included is @Michigan. I just don't see that as a winnable game with as tough as they have looked and it being on the road.

We need to win all of our must-wins, spit out coin-flips and steal two games.

Just pointing out so far we have taken one coin flip and one steal. Not too shabby.

Ball knowers knew Wiscy at home wasn’t a coin flip
