[QUOTE="ChiefIllini, post: 1253477, member: 588522"] I think the hardest wins for this team that you've predicted will be beating NW twice. I think they are for real this year and it might come down to us or them when determining who makes the tourney. I agree we probably get two wins out of Mich H/A, MSU, Indiana, Wisc, and Purdue. We seem to play Purdue well somehow and Michigan is weaker than I think is expected. MSU will be interesting given how late in the schedule they are. We then drop two against the lower tier. One win against Maryland is possible, could even sweep. I think Minny is overrated, in terms of them being a dark horse to steal wins, they are probably bottom 3. What is best about this schedule is that we play almost all our challenging games in Janurary, a notoriously bad month for Groce. That means we hopefully wont drop games we are supposed to win then. beyond IU, Wisc, and Purdue, I really can't predict whos gonna come in 4-8. The bottom tier of Rutgers, PSU, Nebraska, and, in my opinion, Minny are pretty set. 4,5,6 is probably going to be Mich, MSU, and OSU in some capacity, but I can see NW or Iowa sneaky in there (though I'm very low on Iowa). The battle for 4-8 is gonna be where we need to win the majority of games, which includes: MD x2, Mich x2, NW x2, MSU, and OSU. If we win 5, we make it. [/QUOTE]
