The resume is solid. Just one road win will eliminate any question and lock it up.
One road win will do it

For the love of god, can we do it Sunday and get it over with
Agreed. But Pike better coach his *** off in those games especially against Wisconsin this weekend. His substitutions I thought were horrendous. And the kids better learn to drive to the basket and not settle for long range jump shots when they go cold for a period of time.
Couldn't agree more bac and there is no way we don't win one more on the road.Pounding Nails
Myles needs to finish around the basket.
With your optimism you're right. I know right now we're all pissed or depressed about this loss, but we have to find a way to win one on the road and then beat Maryland at home.
What if it came Sunday at Wisky and then we lost 4 in a row to end the year (including B1G tournament)? IMO we wouldn't get in but who knows...
I think one more regular season win no matter where it's played, and one B1G tournament game will lock it up

Sure. We can all hope. But there’s no reason to believe we can win any of the road games. Be realistic. Maryland is just more talented than us too. I know the pitchforks will be out for me and that’s fine, but I called 18-13 after they fell to 16-7. Team needs an injection of offensive talent in the worst way and based on who’s coming in, it won’t be next year.
We’ll be in. Won’t get dinged because of who we are playing the last 4. I guess if we lose by 50 in those games....maybe
Annnnd THAT sir is my fear. Given the last what...10 games? We've needed huge mojo to win all but 1 at home...and blew this game tonight....I personally have zero confidence we win another.
Won without Ayo. List both at or near home w/o Livers.
We're settling into our finish. Hope I'm wrong. Been here too many times before.
Good points. Can't really argue with any of what you stated, but I still believe these kids will somehow pull through. I still firmly believe we make the NCAA tourney. As for next year, I see some of these kids mature and learn that when their outside shots are not falling, they don't settle and drive to the basket to get to the FT line.
Agreed. I'm still pissed that we let this winnable game slip through our hands. Man I hate Michigan. Go Blow!
We lost to a better team tonight. Get over it. Shots did not land. Get over it and win in Wisconsin. We can do it. This team is capable of doing it
We will win At Wisconsin. It’s a Must Win game. If this team wants to break the jinx, it needs to exert its will on Sunday
If we don’t win sunday, it’s going to be nail biting time for sure.

If ever there was a MUST WIN, the Wisconsin game is it. They ARE beatable. We need to play our A game and both Harper and Geo need to show up and be consistent as well as Yeboah. We can do this.

Is this some kind of satire account? You are a real fan or alum? What is wrong with you sir? Are you chronically depressed or miserable?
I’ve been saying this for over a month. And kept getting ridiculed that no we don’t.
Best chance is at Penn State in my opinion.
I have two degrees from the school. I just don’t see things blindly optimistically. It’s been a good season, far better than expected, and I think a run in the NIT is possible.
Oh, you think that’s “possible”. That’s wonderful. Promise to never post again if your wrong? That’d be a big win for everybody
Based on everything I just said.
Which one are we winning BAC? Let us know.
Or are you on record we don't need another one?
You are basically saying season over
.wtf is that
4 games to go..put your big boy panties on
If every person who’s been wrong with a prediction this season can’t post ever again, no one would be posting on this board.
Not making chippies has zero to do with the other team being better. Their defense isn't why we shotc20% in the 2nd half, they are only better because they are UM and we shrink in the moment like this.
Who on this board has made an asinine proclamation like “we will lose our final 5... but don’t worry we might make a run in the NIT”? Other than Cuse56... err ... Rutgers56 I mean ?
why is that prediction asannine?? We will 99% be underdogs out final 4 games before the tourney.
We make the NIT, we most likely get a bunch of home games..hence we can certainly make a run.
Being a Rutgers fan I’ll go
ok. We can debate on paper who is better. Rutgers could win. Missed shots that went in against Illinois. Did not land tonight. Lots of uhhh and sighs in our home in Maryland tonight. My wife stating I hate Michigan.
That's not what I said. I said I do not see us winning again. I'll ask again. Are we in with that? What game are we winning per you. What s your W-L call for the last 4?
This was the game imo. Wisky is our chance cause we at least have some confidence in beating them imho.
If you tell me we're in going 0 fer, then Great. If you tell me we need to win just 1 to to get in I'm calling NIT.
I'm on record. You?
He said “might” make a run. You massaged that one for him. Listen, I’ve watched this team all year and I’ll make ya both a deal. If we lose out I will not post again on this forum. If we win a game, you take a timeout and cool off on the pine poney till the season is over. How’s about that for a deal?
Most of the chances of winning on the road are a product of the home team playing under par versus us taking control of the game. Penn St will be tough to win just by the way we play. They have to help too. When our long shots aren't falling, we have to drive and draw fouls. At least the game stops momentarily and maybe we stop the drought. Other teams will work the ball in low for a basket, but we're not good at finishing with our bigs. Especially the last 5 games or so. Need to regroup and let it play out.
I want to win a game..and don’t want to be forced to take a break..so why would I take this deal??
We’re allowed to be wrong on this message board.
The pitchforks are out because you have a stupid premise. Just because we've only won one road game doesn't mean we can't win another, especially when every road loss in the B1G this year has been to a top half of the league team (all of whom are locks or near locks for the tourney) and almost all of them have been very close, where a possession or two playing out differently could've meant a win.
