I think a 2 seed is a lock at this point. Losses vs OSU and MICH really shouldn't damage the resume unless the committee really wants to stick it to us.

They took 69 shots to our 48 shots. We still win. Amazing. Turnovers nearly did us in....
Why wouldnt a win on the road against (23)Wisconsin without our All American give us the utmost confidence that we can win in all sorts of ways against anyone ?

Why didn't us double-teaming Trice? He was soooo hot, and we cannot expect our FT are always as good as today

A Quad 1A win on the road with our All-American on the bench is a good win.
Aside from Kofi 19-21 at the line. Solid
If you just read this board you would think that after 4 years Damonte finally had enough of Brad Davidson and dropkicked him to cost us the game.
I don't know about you but I already had none. Michigan is on another level at this point. They've now won @wiscy, @OSU, and trashed Iowa. I hate them but I'll call it like it is.

I'll take it every day when we miss four and they miss TWENTY-ONE
I agree...a 2 seed is the floor now. We split the next two games or better and I really like our shot at the final #1. If we beat Michigan, our resume is better than OSU. If we lose to Michigan but beat OSU, we split the series and our resume is still better than OSU. IMO.

Michigan would beat Baylor right now.
I didn't see the game. And from reading the comments here... I can't tell who won. Was it us?
Idk if I'd say that. 3 more losses (if we drop our first in the BTT) has us with 9 losses, which I think would be hard to put on the 2 line. But it could be close.
Right now yeah but Baylor isn't at their full strength just yet. I think Michigan isn't far behind Gonzaga or Baylor, but Baylor in stride looks next level.

That was a tough but satisfying win at Kohl center. Trice really made it tough, but great job hitting the free throws down the stretch by our guards. I think this game showed we have some nice depth with a lot of guards who can rotate in the line up. Let's see what happens.

We don’t win today without DFW. IMO that still doesn’t excuse getting t’d up with seconds on the clock. Don’t worry, I’m not kicking him off the team just yet.
What a win! Given the Ayo factor, what’s at stake around seeding etc and what the last week has been like this ranks up there as one of my favorite wins in a really really really long time.

I would say that Loss, Loss and Loss would knock us out of a 2 seed. Minimum of three games remaining.
Sad but true. They are a legitimate threat to win it all.
