19-13 won't get it, too soft non-conference, need at least 21-22 wins and we'd still probably get a $hit seed for that. The conference is overloaded with good but not great teams, the B10 will get a lot in, but they are going to have to leave probably a couple out in a year where the league is so balanced … what are there like 7 teams, well not us anymore, tied at 3rd?
The thing that pisses me off is that this was a choke job, and at home, that can't happen anymore. I'm still convinced, no NCAA, no Archie. There's no reason to go through a lame duck year, and the BOT will realize that especially when they have to hire a new AD, make Fred fire him as a last act and own up to the mistake. There's no TJD, Romeo, or Zeller on the way. Galloway and Leal will not be impactful next year, if ever (role players my friends, maybe one of them may turn our to be the next Kyle Hornsby … when a senior), and I'd not be surprised to see Leal realize the writing on the wall and go get the more PT and better education if we tank out and it's clear he's not gonna play for who he thought he was.
