With this non-conference slate the path to 19 wins and and making the tourney is very rough. At Oklahoma and at Syracuse are losses. Would need to beat VCU, Temple (who beat Minn) and the other games to get to 9 wins. Then need to go 10-8 in the Big Ten. Lose to VCU and then you need 11-7. Going to be tough. Blame Gard for scheduling and more to the point recruiting.
