Sooooo, how many B1G teams get an invite to The Dance this year? Seven again, like last year? (Eight maybe?) I'm assuming seven B1G teams get an invite to March Madness. Right now we're tied for 8th. One game behind Northwestern. We have 8 B1G games left, including 5 home games. 4 of the 8 games look very winnable for us. Northwestern has 7 games left. They'll be lucky to win 3.
Soooooo, anyone think this is a likely scenario:
____We finish out with 8 conf wins total (going 4-4 our last 8 games),
________+
____we beat NW by virtue of the tie-breaker,
________=
____PROFIT (invite to The Dance)
(Note: This assumes we also somehow get by Indiana, who is presently tied with us at 8th place, also with a 4-6 record in the B1G)
Wishful thinking? Likely? Only-if-Hell-freezes-over?
