Path to the NCAAs this year

[IUNorth]

Sooo fun to be looking at our schedule and trying to find realistic, believable paths to the NCAAs. But, yet again, here we are...

Current Resume
Overall Record 14-8
B10 Record 5-6 (Supposedly this one doesn't really matter)
Road Record 2-4
Neutral Record 1-2
Quad 1 2-8
Quad 2 3-0
Quad 3 5-0
Quad 4 4-0
Current NET 65

The good news, it looks like out of the remaining 9 games, its possible 7 of them will be Quad 1 games. This is a realistic path, I could see happening with this team. Woodson has shown an ability to close the season fairly well, and we've shown glimpses of solid overall play.

At Wisky, Quad 1, Loss
Michigan, Quad 1, Win
at MSU, Quad 1, Loss
UCLA, Quad 1/2, Win
Purdue, Quad 1, Win
PSU, Quad 2, Win
at Wash, Quad 2, Win
at Oregon, Quad 1, Loss
OSU, Quad 1/2, Win

The Quad 1 road games we have remaining, I honestly think we could get blown out in in all of them. And that will hurt our NET, and our overall chances. But none of the rest of the games "scare" me in any way. And i could easily see us going 6-3, like above.

That would make our resume

Overall Record (20-11)
B10 Record (11-9)
Road 3-7
Neut 1-2
Q1 6-11
Q2 5-0
Q3 5-0
Q4 4-0
NET guess, mid to upper 40's.

I think that gets us in around the 9/10 seed line.

watch ucla they had a slow start but are playing now and have a coach, Michigan hard telling what Woodson will come up with to defend them with the 2 7 footers, could have Ballo out chasing wolf on the perimeter

Ballo will not be guarding Wolf. Reneau, Mack. Possibly Goode, Tucker.

You play like you did at Purdue and it’s definitely possible - not sure about Michigan so you need another one - Oregon maybe

 

[Tammany Hall]

It’s kinda difficult to miss the tourney… we get so many chances at good wins…

first we'd have to finish 5-0 at home beating several ranked teams.
And then we'd get a tourney seed where we'd be the dog in the first game, and if by chance we win....heading towards a 20+ pt thumping by the likes of Duke in round 2. And from all that...CMW gets another year.

Yippie.

So what you're saying is... March Madness begins today!

 

[ams66]

I don't think we beat PU at home. They were expecting an easy W and we put a scare into them at Mackey. They will not take us for granted at AH.

Ehhh. I just don’t think they’re nearly as good as their ranking.

Awesome analysis. Intelligent. Objective.

And completely doable if we stay healthy and committed.

Lose any arrogance.
How can that still exist anyway with this program currently? Team and fans?

Highly paid players, staff and this fan base should get humble and get to work.

No home losses.
Win everything against the middle to the bottom of the league.

Tonight’s game =27 years of futility.
Make that go away.
Step one.

Why not see the result described above?

Now let’s just go do it.

 

[SaratogaBoiler1]

Ehhh. I just don’t think they’re nearly as good as their ranking.

Well we shall see - tough part of their schedule coming up. Their improvement on D has been pretty impressive but they all of a sudden can’t shoot the 3. Time will tell

 

[SaratogaBoiler1]

Ehhh. I just don’t think they’re nearly as good as their ranking.

Although I will say they made Galloway look amazing driving to his right every time - that wasn’t impressive
