For what it’s worth (probably not much) the so-called experts are saying we must beat Iowa and win at least two in the tourney (first round game wouldn’t help our metrics) to make it to the Dance.

I mentioned this last night. There is a scenario where we get the 15 seed and play Indiana as the 10 seed. That would of course require us to beat Iowa.

 

Should Ohio State beat IU this weekend, that is the only situation where I could see two wins for us possibly getting us to Dayton. It would mean beating another bubble team for the second time this season.

 

Outside of that, no first round game is going to move the needle much. So 3 wins is a must for Dayton. Hard disagree with the post above saying we need to win the whole thing. But it won’t be easy for sure.

Forget this route— playing IU/Ohio St would require us to lose to Iowa and USC to lose twice. So a win wouldn’t get us Dayton.

 

Carry on. Going to have to win the next 3. What’s going to really suck is winning our next two and then seeing our name pop up in the first 4 out group on selection Sunday.

They couldn't screw us out of a home NIT game at that point and send us to Mississippi so there's that.  This is sad and depressing to think about given where we were a few weeks ago.

Just beat Iowa and send the seniors out on a good note.

my guess would be 2-3 bid steals this year looking at this graphic. Not confident in Drake, Irvine presents a challenge in Big West, San Fan in the WCC, and Colorado St in the MWC.

 

Throw in one shocker and a few of those…

No full update today and might not be one for a while as we just need to worry about beating Iowa. Let’s make the B1G tourney before we talk NCAAs.

 

This is mostly because other bubble teams are taking care of business and picking up huge wins. And it makes me sick to see that but we can’t catch a break and win one.

 

If we beat Iowa, I’ll revisit for conference tournament week.

For what it's worth, Washington hadn't trailed this entire game vs. USC.

 

The downside? That only lasted until the 16:06 mark in the 1st half.
