If I’m reading that correctly, we are only projected to go 8 and 8 from this point forward. Seems unlikely that we only split our remaining games unless something unexpected occurs. Or is this the projected record at the beginning of the season?

Still getting no respect. Rutgers has Nebraska twice, Indiana twice, OSU at home, Maryland at home, a wounded MSU twice, Minnesota twice, at Michigan, Northwestern twice, Iowa twice, Wisconsin at home, and @PSU.

Minor correction, Doug: we only get Nebraska once.

Yup, only projected to go 8-8 the rest of the way. They have us finishing 5th in the Big10 behind Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. Just keep going 1-0 and we will be fine.

We won't finish 15-9, no way. We will go at least 17-7 or 18-6 before the B1G Tourney.

Exactly...we're 3-1 going into the hardest part of our schedule. If we go 3-2 or better in the Iowa/MSU/OSU/PSU/Wisconsin part of the schedule, we're going at least 14-6 in B1G play.

Will gladly take a 4 seed, especially if we can be put in the same bracket as Oregon as a 5 seed...

 

[Eagleton95.99]

Weird. They have us as a 5% chance to with the B1G Tournament and a 6% chance to be a #1 seed. Meanwhile, OSU is a 6% chance to with the Conference Tournament and 4% chance to be a #1 seed.

After enduring so many years of no ncaa tourney, I'm still just looking forward to making the tourney. I mean, last year we were going to be in and they cancelled the damn thing. Until we are officially in and play a game, I'm setting the bar low.

I know this team is better than where i'm setting my bar, and I'm enjoying every second of it, but I'm so used to the agony of being an RU sports fan. And now we have a potential top 10 team and cant be at the RAC to enjoy it, nothing surprises me.

Any other shell shocked RU fans like me?
