9-1
- Thread starter HereYouGoIU

A positive post? The Negative Nancy’s will surely smirk at such a thing. I mean who wants a 9-1 record.....
We should be favored in each of the next 3 games. If we take care of business (and as long as we play D and don’t sleepwalk through a game) we’ll be 12-1 (1-1).
First, the real record is 9-1. The committee will look at the entire body of work come selection Sunday.
Second, I guess Maryland should also be 2-0, but guess what, winning in the BIG on the road is hard. End of the day, losing in Wisconsin is a quad 1 loss.
I'll give them 2-1. FSU and UConn are both legit wins. The other wins were fluff filler to pad the record.
I wouldn't bank on that, it will still require quality wins regardless of 50-50
12-1 (1-1) going into January. Already having wins against UCONN, FSU (ARK and ND to come), you can possibly even throw in LA Tech as an ok win. .500 in B1G play, don't care how you cut it would put us at 21 wins....we get in 100 out of 100 times
Well, why dont you go invent a time machine, go back to last week and whisper in CAM that they will come out flat and lose. And while your at it, go back to 75 and prevent scott may from breaking his arm because we should have won THAT game.....or stop whining about what should have happened and understand this is what happens when you have 18-20 yr old playing. They showed great resolve last night in a tough environment for a bounce back win whereas they would have gotten beat in previous years.
Not saying I'll be happy with it, but I'm a real realist. I know there are flaws. The B1G is stacked, I think we go 11-9 in conference and finish at 22 wins. That probably puts us as 5th or 6th in conference.
I have always thought 10-10 in conference but that should be good enough to get in.
Our early schedule allowed this team to face different opponents and learn from them and do it without losing. The FSU and UConn game shows we can compete when the competition is raised. The Wisconsin game shows the team what can happen when the defensive effort isn't where it needs to be.
I'm most pleased that RP is back from a defensive standpoint. As he can play more, our on ball defense will improve. Franklin and Durham are not close to the level defensively as a unit as Green and RP. With these two back, we can bring Al and Franklin in individually and not lose pressure on the ball.
The true potential of this team will only be revealed now, or when RP can be a full participant. Our ability to start 12-1 was there without RP. It is much more likely with RP.

Duke and UK shouldn't have a loss either. Should both coaches be dismissed? Parity is everywhere in 2019. One game means nothing in the grand schem .
I agreed, but we said the same thing last year at 12-2. Only time will tell.
I had IU predicted at 11-9 before the season, but with that terrible loss at Wisconsin, I think they now need to gain an early road win in conference to prevent from falling a bit, and it makes the Nebraska game at home a MUST win,
the good thing about the Nebraska game is the staff has tape of last years game In AH. If watching that doesn’t inspire them, I don’t know what will. We should roll in this game.
I don't know about that, I know the bar has been lowered and favors the blue bloods, but I also remember a Carolina team scraping in at like 20 wins with an OK schedule several years ago and there was a major bitch fest about it. 22-24 wins, yeah we're safe there, but we also need quality wins to not draw some tough as mid-major in the 1st round and get embarrassed. This team ain't doing anything, but could use that experience and confidence boost of a couple tourney wins
