Thanks Kat.

To date there haven't been foul issues for Kofi. Who would have predicted that?I'm just saying don't get your hopes up we might win conf, or we may even miss the tourney if things go bad. We still have terrible outside shooting and Kofi foul trouble away from being a similar team to last year. We have improved, but the Big Ten is killer this year.

You're new to being a sports fan, aren't you?
Message boards are not the place you go for even-keeled discussion. Just look at every post-game thread we've ever had here.
I hope not. I was as frustrated as many post Miznoz/MSU, but we are 5-2 and going on the road against 2 quality opponents. Winning is not expected, but still realistic. Now, if we lose all 3..............This board in particular could go from a potential 1 point win and booking tickets to the sweet 16, to a late mistake costing us the game and wondering if the coach’s entire system is flawed and if he should be canned.
If we lose 2 of the next 3, Twitter in particular will be full of the “same old team. Underwood experiment is over” talk

Since we are going to be favored in only 1 of the next 6 games, we could be less than .500 in conference in a couple of weeks while still being expected to finish 11-9. Hope they find a way to win 2 or more of those games, but not going to freak out if they only win 1.
On this board? Uh, yeah, I think we'll have that covered. /sIf we only win 1 of the next 6 we should be pretty disappointed
We should be favored in two, Minn and Maryland at home. Maryland, despite their ranking, has yet to win on the road against anyone. Not saying it's a sure thing, but we have to be the favorites in that one. If we only win 1 of the next 6 we should be pretty diasppointed.
Probably need to split these next two to stay ranked next week, right?
I'm following all of these games closely, too. Two impressive road wins this week and I believe we are easily Top 15, knocking on the door of Top 10 --- heading into 3 of 4 at home. The confidence on this board is through the roof!!!It goes without saying that we largely control our own destiny at Michigan on Saturday, as far as rising in the rankings. However, here were some results last night from teams just ahead of us!
#18 Texas Tech loses at TCU, 65-54
#17 Maryland wins at Northwestern, 77-67 (took a big comeback ... they have not looked overly impressive lately)
#15 Kentucky wins vs. Georgia, 89-79
#13 Butler loses at #9 Villanova, 76-61 (shouldn't hurt too much by itself, but this is their third straight loss, IIRC)
The TTU loss definitely helps us. Here are the other ranked teams just ahead of us in our "neighborhood" in action this week:
TUESDAY
South Carolina at #16 Auburn (would be Auburn's third straight loss and a pretty bad one)
#24 Rutgers at #19 Iowa (doesn't seem to matter TOO much what happens here ... both teams are good and will be in the thick of things all year, IMO)
#20 Memphis at Tulsa
THURSDAY
#11 Michigan State at Indiana (... this one isn't so much for rankings but rather possibly putting us in first place!! Sucks to root for IU, though...)
FRIDAY
Marquette at #13 Butler
SATURDAY
Iowa State at #16 Auburn
Missouri at #14 West Virginia (seriously, Mizzou, gonna win Braggin' Rights and then do us the dirty of being AWFUL??)
SUNDAY
#17 Maryland at Indiana
