I would take 24-6. I'd take it right now; wouldn't even ask to play the games.

Bart Torvik would project us as a 2 seed going into the B1G Tournament if that were to play out that way.

 

Mred would project NU to be a 3 seed in the B1G tournament if NU's games swung that way.

Iowa & Wisconsin are GIANT frauds... (spare me the Ethan Happ rants)

 

That's what I thought, too, about Wisconsin when I was doing the KenPom update this morning, but then I took a closer look...

...and I'll be damned if their record so far isn't really REALLY solid.  They've earned their ranking IMO.

They have a couple nice neutral court wins, and had NC State at home. I don’t think we’ll sweep em again this year but I’d be surprised if they finish higher than us.

kinda wish we weren't ranked yet. given our history against creighton this ranking feels a bit premature. we need to get that monkey off our back.

 

i'm sure it helps recruiting to be ranked, but we saw how much it matters to be ranked in December in 2015.

 

Unlike 2015... we have earned that ranking through play so far.  And earning that ranking means beating teams the way you should beat them.  Creighton is no different.  They will be a test, but our guys should be up for every game that we play.

Yeah, when we dropped out in 2015, we didn't get back in.  Here, we got back in.
