So much of this league is as tough to figure this year as we are. You can easily see us winning all three and just as easily losing all three. Sticking to my 21-10 preseason prediction. Hold serve at home, except for MD and MSU. Beat Rutgers, PSU and NW on the road? Maybe?Winning games like tonight certainly can shift the needle. Eye test looks great right now after this week, but on paper they‘re still just 1-3 vs Q1/Q2 which is on pace for the discussed 6-11.
Realistically, they need to win next 3 non-con, then 2 of 3 against @MSU, PUR, @WIS to move off a bubble trajectory.

...Let's be clear, too: if this team plays like it did last night and keeps the effort and concentration there ... we can be even better.
Can't wait for our next game, and it's been a while since I have been this excited!
If this team plays like it did last night for the rest of the year, then we will be 28-3, #1 in the nation, and get a number 1 seed, entering the BTT.
This seems...plausible.Last time pumped me up, so here are my revised PREDICTIONS:
W vs. Old Dominion
W vs. Missouri (St. Louis, MO) (order is restored)
W vs. North Carolina A&T
L at #16 Michigan State
W vs. Purdue
W at Wisconsin (YUP, this is the year we finally beat them again!!!!)
W vs. Rutgers (another super close game like last year, though)
W vs. Northwestern
L at Purdue (that place just always seems so dark and bleak and hopeless to win)
L at #5 Michigan (revenge game and whatnot)
W vs. Minnesota
L at Iowa (I'm so scarred from last year)
W vs. #4 Maryland (revenge game but for us!)
W vs. #16 Michigan State (I think we actually match up well with them)
L at Rutgers
L at Penn State (some fans start to panic)
W vs. Nebraska
W at Northwestern (and I'll be there ... hope to see TONS of orange!)
W vs. Indiana
L at #3 Ohio State (they are good...)
W vs. Iowa (revenge in a hard-fought win vs. the Hawkeyes on Senior Day)
Entering Big Ten Tournament: 20-10 (12-8) ... holy moly, I would take this in a heartbeat!! I think we win one and lose on in the BTT, leaving us 21-11 on Selection Sunday with wins vs. Michigan, vs. Maryland, vs. Michigan State and maybe even a quality one in the BTT if we are lucky. Our only "bad" loss would be vs. Miami, and I think it would be overshadowed by our wins and tough conference schedule, putting us squarely off the Bubble. Let's be clear, too: if this team plays like it did last night and keeps the effort and concentration there ... we can be even better.

since their Final 4 appearances
battle-tested and should make some noise
WOW! Now that’s picking an interesting data set.

Not sure it will make you change the L @ Iowa, but it sounds like Bohannon will be done for the year and take a medical redshirt. He has killed us the past few years.Last time pumped me up, so here are my revised PREDICTIONS:

Shows just how good Arizona freshman are as well....to rank that high as freshman. We at least got a junior and soph in the mix.
The way it is looking, it might be more likely that we beat MD and MSU at home and lose to Rutgers and PSU on the road. Especially concerned about PSU. Hopefully, we have really turned the corner.
