At Iowa (must win)
At Michigan
Nebraska (must win)
@Indiana (must win)
Michigan State
@Wisconsin (must win)
Iowa (must win)
@Purdue
---------------------------------------------------------
- The key is stealing a minimum one of the three above "non-must" games to get to 9-9 conference and 20 wins on the year. @Michigan, Michigan State being the only realistic steals (@Purdue game sure "L").
- Losing just one of the above "must win" games means you have to beat BOTH @Michigan and MSU to get to 9-9, 20 wins.
Bottom line:
- Steal both the @Michigan/MSU games & win the "must-wins" while only losing to Purdue? 21 wins, 10-8 in conference and a sure lock for the tournament.
- 20 wins, 9-9 in conference means that you will have to win a first-round game for sure (21 wins), and possibly a quarterfinal game after that (22 wins).
- Winning the B1G tournament is the only way to get in should the team finish with less than 20 wins, of course.
----------------------------------------------------------
Basketball can be weird and streaky. Stranger things have happened. As I said above, the only sure "L" on this slate is @Purdue. Gonna hold out hope until it's gone.
