Looking at the remaining hoops schedule it looks like there are three games we should win... (Home against Neb and Ill, and on the road against Minn.) There are three games we should lose (@MD, @MSU, and @IOWA) Then there's home against OSU and home against Mich. Provided we don't lay an egg in the easy games (no layup considering who we've lost to already this year) Winning the OSU and Mich games will get us to 18-12. That record does not guarantee a spot in the tournament...but at 10-8 it would give us a winning record in conference (which is usually good enough) But losing either the OSU or Mich games forces the Badgers to win one of the tough road games, which I just don't see happening. I just can't see a 17-13 record with a 9-9 conference record getting us in without a deep run in the Big Ten tournament. Bottom line is Thursday's game is huge.
