not that there's a very realistic chance of that happening, but hypothetically that would potentially put us at 10-6 in Q1.    Here were the teams last year who had 10 or more Q1 wins:

Our 6 Q1 wins put us in a tie for 11th best in the nation in terms of number of Q1 wins. There are just 18 teams with 6 or more Q1 wins. Our six wins put us in the same company as Purdue, Mississippi

That site is awesome. 

In '91 we finished the season #10 according to their metrics. Oh, what could've been. 


Clicking on our individual team stats, it looks like that MSU game really gave us a wake up call on D.

Yeah, well, that's shaping up to be the plan. I've already scouted the opening round sites. Wichita and Denver would both be great, makeable drives.

 

I was thinking the same thing. Milwaukee wouldn't be too bad either.

It’s time to start asking ourselves if UCLA will make the tournament. The B1G tournament that is.

 

Only half kidding, but losing to Rutgers drops them to 2-4 in the conference with Iowa and Wisconsin coming to town and then going to Washington and USC before ending the month with Oregon coming to town.

 

This conference man.

Just feels like the conference is so deep. Its going to be a grind that's for sure.  I've watched a lot of Big 10 games and I'm becoming more and more skeptical on our chances of making tournament...  Hope I'm wrong.

Tomorrow is a huge game to get some momentum back. It truly is a year where I believe that we can beat anyone in the conference-- but also lose to anyone in the conference.

 

To dance, we're going to have to be much more mentally strong than we've shown the past couple of games. We're going to have to be able to shrug off bad nights and just move on. I believe 8 more wins gets us there. We have 8 home games, 7 road games, and at least 1 BTT game. Unlike last year, we're 2-3 on the road and 2-1 at neutral site games. So there should be no "can't win away from home" stigma.

 

We're not going to be a top dog. We're not going to win the majority of our B1G games. We've just got to move on from the last two. At the end of the day... it was two games. Rutgers is the biggest game of the year... and after that one, Maryland will be.

I think 7 might even do the trick. 

That would put as at 9-11 with some quality wins.

We definitely would be in bubble territory probably as a 10 or 11 seed.

 

The goal for the fans and what I am hoping for (I guess) is 10-10 or 11-9.

Maybe-- Theoretically we could win 7 games and likely not pick up another Q1 win. I don't think that would get the job done with what would be a 1-13 Q1 record. (However we'd be 7-0ish in Q2)

If you need 1 more of those wins to get to 8 wins, you need more wins.  Unless you're fortunate enough to luck your way into the 8-9 game, at 9-11 you're looking at playing the 10-16th place games. At that point your second game would be against a 4-6 which could move the needle

This thread is becoming more and more bubbly to the point we need to take a peek as what we need other teams to do (that would help us).

 

Rutgers: go on a tear. They are 8 spots away from moving back to a Q2 game.

 

Oregon St: win baby win. They beat Gonzaga yesterday! Now just 4 spots away from a Q1 win.

 

Murray St & Hawaii: winning a bunch provides an opportunity for both to become Q2 games.

Splitting the next 14 probably gets you close.  At Maryland is a pretty big swing type of game.  They've had a pretty shaky this week too.  That one would be huge.  Just for momentum you pretty much have to at least split the next two games.
