2014-15 Season Predictions

Let's also not lose sight of this:

It ain't over 'till it's over!

 

What they fail to mention is that if we do not make the Sweet 16, Miles wins the bet and Petteway has to stay for his Senior season.

From the OWH story:

 

 

 

“We’re going to get there, and we’re going to be a good team. This is going to be a really good team in February and March.”

I hope that's true, they're going to need to be. That's when the schedule gets really difficult. The schedule is front loaded this year.

With the current RPI, my calculations figure 12 to 13 (including B10 tourney) conference wins will be required to eclipse a sub 50 RPI.

 

I'd say our inexcusable bad losses have led us to one monumental, if not miraculous, task ahead to reach the goals of an NCAA tourney.

 

Falling asleep in December can doom your post season hopes, even with a good conf. season.  The loss to our rivals in Omaha will prove ugly at season's end.

 

None the less, we're still in the ballgame.  Can't afford ANY home losses from here out.  Period.

That's a very tall task.  No NU basketball team has won all of it's home conference games since 1966.

In the "revised" season predictions in the OWH today, NU moved from a 4th-place prediction in November to 8th place today. So I guess the good news is that means we're the "hunters" again.   And we didn't fall the farthest - Michigan went from 5th to 10th.

 

Indiana is up from 9th to 4th.

I don't care what kind of RPI we have... we go 12-6 or 13-5 in the Big 10, we are in for sure.  11-7 may do it as well.

[HuskerFever]

1-0 starts on Wednesday. Let's get that one first.

I hope Indiana does not ruin New Years Eve like Iowa did last year. If we lose I'll refuse to wear one of those silly hats. How's that for a resolution.

I think you HAVE to wear one of those pimp'n hats WHEN we win again vs Hoosiers (goin' for 4th W in 5 games in B1G vs IU).

With a 10-8 record in the Big 10 RPI Wizard on RPI Forecast has us as 44 RPI and 29 SOS.  Not sure if that would be good enough this year with the Big Ten being down...but I don't think we need to win 12-13 games to be top 50 RPI. 

[jimmykc]

I would settle for 10-8 and take my chances. All of the conferences could be considered "down" this year and look how our league handled the ACC this year.
