We'd likely have to play North Carolina...then likely Nevada, then likely Gonzaga. That's a hard row to plow right there for *ANY* school, let alone DoNU. Quote Link to comment

seaofred92 Posted December 6, 2018 Author Share Posted December 6, 2018 Oklahoma State lost @ Tulsa tonight. That needs to be a W in South Dakota. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Win the next 2 and the collapse at MN becomes an afterthought. Ideally for every home B1G loss we can win +1 on the road (so if we lose 1 home game, need to win 2 road games; if we lose 2 home games, need to win 3 road games; etc). Doing that would put us at least at 11-9 in conference. With everyone touting how tough the B1G will be, that should be good to get in. Quote Link to comment

So in two conference games we've gone from being a dark-horse title contender to middle-of-the-pack? Quote Link to comment

Not sure where I was talking about a formula to win the conference. Sorry, that wasn't supposed to be trying to argue with you. Just interesting that we've often been picked near the top of the conference and now you brought up being barely over .500 in conference. That's a bit of a switch. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 1 hour ago, Mavric said: No one wants to just make the tournament. You jump in as a 10 seed and you lose then what? Last night was an example of the types of games that separate a 5-6 seed from a 9-10 seed. The expectation this season is not to make the tournament, it’s to make the tournament and win games. The thought of not making the tourney with this roster would mean an implosion, we need to worry about seeding. Quote Link to comment
NebraskaHarry Posted December 7, 2018 Share Posted December 7, 2018 I can't believe Nebraska lost that game last night. I mean I can, but Tim Miles gave it away. Bad. Quote Link to comment

The Cornfather Posted December 8, 2018 Share Posted December 8, 2018 So I just was catching up on news and saw that Seton Hall beat Kentucky... that's got to be good for us right? Quote Link to comment
