We are in, as of 11 pm on Feb. 16th. The only reason not to think so is if you are computer with a crappy algorithm.

I believe another 2 wins between now and the end of the Big Ten Tournament is what is needed to end the year with enough overall wins along with a winning conference record. Right now, let's enjoy the ride.

RU needs two more wins, they cannot go 0-6 and still make it, RU is in as of today but they were in before this game IMO
Exactly. When Katz says we're "in" now, he means if the season were over right now and he even said a few minutes ago that RU (or any team) could lose their last 5 or 6, but that's clearly not what anyone would expect from a team that just dominated 3 of 4 ranked teams (and won the 4th in a nice comeback). 12 B1G wins is the magic number, but I want at least 14 and a shot at the title.

Why is their RPI so low ? I checked a few days back and it was like #92 behind schools like Towson St.. Seems ridiculously low for a team with a good number of quality wins. Last time I paid attention to CBB you needed an RPI in the 60s or better to have a chance at the tourney. Maybe that's changed.

I am just enjoying the ride but I feel we are not in yet. Andy Katz is by far our biggest supporter. It is just so good seeing our guys feeling so happy and that we are becoming a huge story in college basketball.

People don’t realize that by simply playing Purdue, Michigan, Wisconsin, our NET will go up as long as we don’t get blown out. Win PSU and either indiana or Michigan or Wisconsin, and we’re in

Hell just beating Purdue at Mackey puts us real close to a lock. I think we find 3 more wins between now and the B1G Tourney though.

Well the only way OP will ever be proven right is if we lose every remaining game, which no one thinks is the case. But, hey, take a victory lap if you want. Haha.

Actually, Paul Mulcahy said it best on his post game interview. No one is IN now, it's not March yet.
Yup- totally dismissed the question and I'm glad he did. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole team is thinking that way.
