[QUOTE="brosox, post: 1182612, member: 7145"] To have a shot at the tournament, especially with their extremely weak non-conference schedule, NU needed to go at least 10-8 in the Big. To do that, they needed to beat psu, Nebraska and Minnesota twice, split with OSU, and then win at home against us, Rutgers and Wisconsin. I don't see them winning any of their singles road games against Michigan, Indiana, Purdue and iowa. Even if they had gone 10-8, there would have been no guarantee as their only quality win in this scenario would have been OSU or Nebraska. Unfortunately for them, the home losses to OSU and psu pretty much killed their chances as they now need two upset road wins and still must win the other games in the must win category. [/QUOTE]
