[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1247421, member: 588522"] Personally, before the BTT, I can see us with anywhere between 17-21 wins if we win all the games we should... Which obviously isn't always true. Truth be told, the lose to Winthrop can be a positive if it gives our guys perspective that any team can come in and win. We are gonna need every win we should get and probably 3 or 4 tossup games (NW away, Iowa away, OSU home, etc...) Still such a young season that even in a couple weeks, barring a complete meltdown, we will still have a decent ( >25%) shot of making the tourney. The problem being a bubble team thats streaky like we are is that when we beat teams we shouldn't, we lose to teams we shouldn't as well. Here's hoping skill, leadership, and experience eliminate the latter sooner than later. [/QUOTE]
