Thanks!  Some things we need....

 

Clemson to stay in the Top 75.  That would make the win a Q1.

Minny to stay int he Top 75.  That would make the loss a Q1.

Seton Hall to jump into the Top 75.  Would make that win a Q2.

Missouri State to jump into the Top 200.  Would make that win a Q3.

 

Well, whadya know. Ask and ye shall receive.

It's insane to think that a #21 KenPom ranking is only good enough for 6th place in the B1G!  But KenPom still predicts 20 wins for us and 11-9 in conference play.

 

Seton Hall's win was only good enough to move them up a couple spots.

 

Okay, here we go:

Man I thought KenPom was being optimistic picking us to go 11-9  ?

Funny thing is if it played out that way there would still be geniuses on the other board up in arms if we lose two of our last three...

The thing about this team that makes an 11-, 12- or 13- win conference season seem not just possible, but even plausible if not likely, is that we have six guys who can score the basketball.  We've had teams where you felt pretty good because you had 3 guys who could score the basketball.  We have six.  No exaggeration.  Six.

 

Any team that scouts us has to account for six guys who can score the ball.  And I mean six guys who can score at the rim, from mid-range, and from beyond the arc.

 

If we have more than one or two guys who are "feelin it," look out.

I was curious as to how this year's struggling conferences were stacking up to last year's historically awful, might as well be the Missouri Valley, B1G conference. The BEast and SEC are currently worse than the B1G finished last year. It'll be interesting to see how much those conferences are punished.

And obviously the Pac 12 deserves Bill Walton talking about getting high during their games because the basketball isn't really worth watching.

Purdue loses a Power 5 game.  Rutgers going to lose to Seton Hall

 

Still ahead of us at #18, but by only 0.06 of a point.  Pretty slim margin.
