That's what I'm concerned about.  The bid stealers.  Two or three bid stealers and we're on the bubble at 18-15 won't work out well for us.

Yup, there's so many moving parts right now and over the next week. Bid stealers are always a worry. There's also a couple traditionally single team leagues, or smaller conferences, with multiple teams ahead of us in the NET. 

WCC Zags at 1, but also St. Mary's at 37.

SoCon - Wofford at 14, and Furman at 43

MWC - Nevada at 20, and Utah St at 30

OVC - Belmont 44 and Murray St 48

ASUN only has one Libscomb 43, but they could still make it a loss in the CC.

Same with Buffalo 16 in the MAC would easily make the dance if they lost in CC.

AAC is not tiny, but they have 4 teams ahead of us.

Then there's a ton of big conference teams that could play spoiler if they get on a run.

MARCH MADNESS!

I think the guys will be motivated enough to beat Rutgers.Then its tourney time. We are so due to make some noise in the BTT.

Only one kind of bubblicious game tonight
 
NET 55 Minnesota (19-11) at 28 Maryland (21-9)
 
130 Austin Peay (22-10) vs 44 Belmont (25-4)
 
If Minnesota wins they’re definitely in. If they lose and then lose to an Illinois (possible quad 3) in their first BTT game they could be sweating it out.

Whether or not we get into the tournament I'm proud of the team. It would've been easy to give up on the season after back to back tough losses to Purdue and Iowa to drop to 13-14.

yup. with the injuries we had this year, it's awesome the way the team never gave up. the losing streaks surrounding the first MSU win were some of the ugliest i can remember. i think system/chemistry, etc is starting to click a bit now that we're not a MASH unit.

still not ready to call them consistent, but the effort I've seen in February and March (minus the MN game) has been great.

Marquette doing us no favors.

That, along with bid stealers, is why I think we need to get to 19 wins to feel comfortable.

I’ve put a lot of thought into it and, imo, if we win the BTT it’d be almost against the rules for the committee to keep us out.

19-15 would guarantee a spot in the tournament. However, I think 18-15 gets it done. I’d feel a lot easier with the former though

Better root for Michigan tonight because there’s no way we beat MSU for a 3rd time.

How awesome would it be to watch Izzo fold into the fetal position if we did, though?

[Southside 1,914]

Give me either, but I'd prefer to even the score with scUM.

Not really afraid of playing MSU a third time. 

To hell with them both.

The real question is whether he’d know our players names a third time around.

I think IU could beat Michigan State a third time. I do want to beat Michigan though. I don’t root for Michigan State. That university is scum
