[QUOTE="LouHenson, post: 1519190, member: 746834"] This is what has me really excited. So if Kenpom has us going 13-7 and sharing the BIG title with MSU they must see it something like this: Win 5 Loose 1 at home and loose every game except NW on the road? I sort of see that as the "floor" for this team right now and if that is the floor ok? Then win 1 in the BTT and your looking at an over all record of 21 (remember take out Longwood) and 10 with say 10 quad 1 wins on our resume. I see that as no worse than a 7 seed in the big dance. Now our ceiling? Well let say it goes like this: Win all 6 at home and, @Iowa (L) @Rutgers (L) @tOSU (W) @PSU (W) @NW (W) Well now our record is 15-5 in the league and 23 - 7, so win 2 in the BTT and your looking at a solid 4 or 5 seed in the big dance, but win the BTT? Now your 26-7 going into the dance with 15 (count them 15 quad 1 wins, and 6-4 road record in the BIG - and a 17 - 3 record for you final 20 games) that is now for sure a 2 seed and its a stretch, but number 1? If you a 1 or 2 seed coming out of the BIG this year you get STL for your regional for sure. Sound like a good place to land? A stretch? Probably, but it is for sure still very much in front of this team, and that is really all you can ask for at this point? [/QUOTE]
