I'm loving how the rest of the schedule looks, especially if we get Ed back on Thurs.

 

For sure gotta stay out of the bottom 4. No way we could win it from that spot as Tai and Glynn would be totally gassed by the time the semis/ finals came (if we made it that far) since they seemingly play every minute of the game.

 

I think we are good for 5-6 more regular season wins. More than enough to keep Miles around and probably good enough for atleast NIT berth.

I think it's important not to play in the 11/14 or 12/13 game on the first day. Secure a 10 seed and play 7, 2, 3 and 1 on consecutive days. Purdue is the most problematic matchup, but everyone else i

Getting healthy is a must obviously...but, we also need a top 10 finish to have a chance at making a run in the tournament.  Finishing 11-14 and having an extra game is a killer.

Really like this, but think we can beat osu on the road. Wisconsin at home will be the toughest game left. Minny on the road isn't as scary as I thought at the beginning of the conference season.

 

All this depends on a healthy Morrow as well..

I ran a scenario where NU goes 6-3 the rest of the way and it put them in the 6 seed facing the Rutgers/Illinois winner. The winner of that game would play Northwestern. Not likely to play out exactly like that, but it's not out of the realm either. I'd be thrilled with that outcome. Would guarantee an above .500 record, too...but need Ed back, probably, to do it.

To get to 9 wins, Penn St, Illinois, Michigan become must wins. Gotta find two others before the B1G Tourney.


We need to go 6-3 in our next 9 to make the NIT...

That expectation is pretty much dead at this point.

I think it is safe to say miles will have his 4th losing season.

I'm no Sally Sunshine, but there really isn't a winnable game on the schedule. Really, who scares you? Wisconsin is at home, the rest of the opponents are about as consistent as we are. We've got a young team. Maybe Ed comes back and things start to click. Enjoy the ride.

If you're looking for a lock it's Illinois on the road.(Here)  Maybe they'll figure out something between then and now but they've been soft and middling all season, especially on the road.

Hoping we can finish 4-3 the rest of the way. If we're going to steal one on the road it would have to be OSU. And none of these home games are sure wins either. Just hoping and being optimistic that we can finish this way, or better!

Realistically, easy to believe this team comes close to losing out.  However, not impossible to see them parlaying one great game into a 3 or 4 game winning streak.  Two out of the last three at that point is certainly doable.  

 

Not sure I believe it can happen, but hey....

This season's frustrations are wearing on my optimism (for this season not the future btw). We could easily win the next 6 or lose em. My guess is somewhere in between. I'm not sure how much Miles job is on the line but if he can scrape out 7 or 8 total conference wins that's gotta be good enough imo. With next season being his best, most talented, and deepest roster on paper.
