Race to the bottom

[From the Barn]

What will be the final Big Ten records of Illinois, MSU, and the Gophers?

Gophers: 9-9 (I'm making a big assumption that Nolen comes back at some point and the Gophers find a way to beat the rest of the bottom tier Big Ten teams

Illinois: 8-10

MSU:8-10, but I wouldn't be shocked if they don't win until they get Iowa at home.

I think 9-9 may be optimistic but 10-8 is also still possible. Hold home serve and take one on the road is 10-8! Worst case 2-5 gets us to 7-11 - YUCK.

4 home games: Illinois, Michigan State, Michigan, and Penn State
3 road games: Iowa, Penn State, and Northwestern

Obviously these squads, like us, have been hit and miss. So who knows.

The thursday Illinois game will be pretty important. DUH!

Big Ten.. best conference in the nation once again this year they said...

tOSU, Purdue and Wisconsin are fine.. after that, everyone has work to do. I think we can get to 9-9 and it's probably going to be enough this season to get to the postseason tournament that we wish to play in. If we're in the tourney, let's hope for a good match up. But, Indy in March is looking like it will be worth paying a lot of attention to once again this year... I might need to make a quick trip over to the Northwestern game as well.. is that date set yet?! 2nd or 3rd.. 3rd would be nice.
edit: Dang.. looks like Wednesday the 2nd.

Gophers can be 10-8 or even 11-7 if they start playing better.

No kidding?

I agree that the Illinois game is important, they are the best team left on the schedule. I have a feeling that if the Gophers can win this one at home, the talk of 9-9 quickly goes away.
