It means we pray that Northwestern somehow gets top 75 RPI so our win there counts as a Tier 1 win

BTN says huskers are playing as good as any team in the conference.

Boise State is losing to New Mexico right now. This would help us out. The game is on ESPN U.

If we finish 4th in Big 10 and win 1 game in tourney, then I can't see them only taking 3 out of a Power 5 conference, regardless of rpi.  If we get to 22-23 wins and in top 4, we will be fine.  Obviously, we would need to other bubble teams to lose and don't want many, if any upsets in conference tourney.  A few "bid stealers" would kill us.

Should be fun to watch.  Not a believer in "moral victories", but in November, most of us would have been great with being in the discussion right now.

Purdue, OSU, MSU, Michigan are locks

We would be #5

No real change from last week.  There were a lot of games in the last week to affect these while we were on a "bye".

Ranking after Wisky W -> Ranking after Minny W

RPI #57 --> #54

BPI #64 --> #65

KenPom #57 --> #57

Michigan is sliding right now.  I would not be surprised if they lose at least 2 more reg season games.

Already had them pegged as a loss against Ohio State. Maryland looks to be the only other team on their schedule with a legit shot at beating them--the rest would be definite upsets.

Yep, have Ohio State as one and after last night, I think someone else out of their remaining games will beat them.

I wouldn't be surprised if Penn State beat them in Happy Valley.  PSU has looked better of late.

Agreed. And I'd be concerned about that game if it were in Happy Valley at the end of the season instead of the Vault. 

I really think we have a 7-10 point home court advantage when the crowd shows up. And if we get into the NCAA Tourney and get a game close to home...
