The Murphinator Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Boise State is losing to New Mexico right now. This would help us out. The game is on ESPN U. 1 Quote Link to comment

HANC Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 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.

Red Five Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 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 2 Quote Link to comment

Maryland looks to be the only other team on their schedule with a legit shot at beating them--the rest would be definite upsets. Quote Link to comment

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

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

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... Quote Link to comment
