Unless we win every game in the NIT by 10 plus points I cant see us winning anything. If you cant win a close game it makes it tough to reel off 5 or 6 wins in a row.
We need to go 7-1 in the last 8 IMO ( or 6-2 with 2 B10 tourney wins). Not impossible given the schedule but 2-4 of those games are going to be close so not sure the psyche of this team is capable of doing it. In reality we just dont have enough good wins to get in at 9-9 in the B10 without winning at least 2 B10 tourney games, May be easier to go 7-1 over the last 8. Good news is that Realtime, Teamrankings and Pomeroy have Iowa as favorites in 6 of their last 8 and only a very very slight underdog to Nebraska on the road.
I honestly think that Wisconsin game may be a season changer for the good...I think we may be dealing with a different team now...we are a good team with good players...good players learn from their mistakes...I can see us winning up to the Indiana game, I don't think we can win in Bloomington unless we play the game of our lives
