[Oskee] Party down Larry!!!

[Todd Sweet]

So we're 15-8 right now with 8 games to go in the conferece.  So 20 wins
makes us 20-12 (assumes a first round loss in BTT).  With most of those wins
coming against lower rated teams and our bad losses and a finishing record
of 5-5.  I don't think that does it.  But then again I don't think we are
going 5-3 in the next 8 games.

The games we have left are almost all against tournament caliber teams. If
we can't win at least half, we don't deserve to be in the tournament anyway.
I think the magic number is 20 wins. If we get there we'll have added enough
good wins that we should make it.

For the sake of discussion, let's say we finish 10-8 in the conference and
18-13 overall, but then go on a typical Illini\BBT run and win two more
games to go 20-14.  Under that scenario, I suppose the only way we make it
interesting for the selection committee is if the three regular season wins
come at home vs. Ohio State, on the road vs. Michigan and at home vs.
Minnesota.  Then the semifinal BTT win would have to come against somebody
like Purdue or Wisconsin.

 

Would that do it?   

OWW!

It was good to see another solid road performance, even if it was against
such a woeful team.  We milked about as many wins as we could out of the
lower half of the conference, now comes the time for this team to decide how
good they are going to be against real competition.  If we could by some
miracle take all the home games, that would probably seal a tourney bid --
that would make 11-7 in conference.  I don't see any likely road wins there
unless we can get by Michigan, and even the home games are far from assured.
That loss at Northwestern really hurts, and pretty much eliminates any
margin for error.  Time to show your stuff and keep this team focused, Bruce
-- I've got confidence you can do it if anyone can!

I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the ride -- I gave up on a bid a while back, so
whatever comes in the postseason now is gravy (unless we flame out and miss
the NIT, but we won't go there :-).  But I would dearly love to see this
team pull off one major upset before the season is over, regardless of what
else happens.
