Win out but lose to OSU and get to the finals of the BBT with a win against either OSU or Michigan should workSo...how many more losses can we afford if we want a 1 seed? I’m thinking 1, MAYBE 2 max (if the second one is in the BTT finals). But I feel like we might either need to win out the regular season or win the BTT.
The Nebraska game is moved, so it's just the 3 consecutive road games. After that the only games left are Nebraska, @OSU and @Michigan.I may have missed this somewhere else in the thread, so sorry if this is old/redundant, but according to ESPN.com we have 4 games in 8 days starting coming up
@Minn 2/20
@MSU 2/23
vs Neb 2/24 - fightingillini.com has this as TBD 3/2 - 34
@Wisc 2/27
No scUM reschedule on either site.
Is there any sign the Michigan game will actually be scheduled?The Nebraska game is moved, so it's just the 3 consecutive road games. After that the only games left are Nebraska, @OSU and @Michigan.
The prevailing thought is that the reason Nebraska isn't locked down yet is to give Michigan a chance to schedule the game vs Illinois on either the 2nd or 4th of March. However, it's on Michigan right now to make up 5 games, so the rest of the league is kind of waiting on them.Is there any sign the Michigan game will actually be scheduled?

Over the last couple of years, we have ended a lot of absolutely obnoxious streaks. Are there any more out there?
Let's do that last one twice to make up for all that time!The Streak Busters™ have done an amazing job the last two seasons. Here are some streaks that we can end by winning our remaining games:
- 2-game losing streaks overall to MSU and OSU
- 2-game losing streak at Minnesota (last win was in 2016)
- 3-game losing streak at MSU (last win was in 2015)
- Have not beaten a top 5 Big Ten team on the road since ... 1982!! when the unranked Illini won 64-57 at #5 Minnesota.
- Have not beaten a top 5 Big Ten team on the road since ... 1982!! when the unranked Illini won 64-57 at #5 Minnesota.
Wait a minute, what about Nick Anderson's shot to beat Indiana?- Have not beaten a top 5 Big Ten team on the road since ... 1982!! when the unranked Illini won 64-57 at #5 Minnesota.

According to Wikipedia they were #3 at the time.
