[QUOTE="Fighter of the Nightman, post: 1573065, member: 590800"] Dayummmmm. God, I would just love to see us beat an unequivocally great team here soon (will NU count still?), because our only losses are looking pretty damn good so far (vs. #2 on a neutral court, at #10 by 3 and at #17 by 3), and we are 8-3 (4-1) in the best conference in basketball and the metrics love us. We honestly have put together a GREAT season so far, and I am hoping this next stretch of not-so-impossible games piles on the wins. Here is our upcoming schedule, with those rankings, before what should be a monumental showdown with Iowa on Friday 1/29: at #50 Northwestern vs. #32 Maryland at #186 Nebraska vs. #28 Ohio State vs. #42 Penn State at #119 Michigan State :oops: You can lose any night in the Big Ten, and I think both NU and MSU are "underranked" based on how good they can be in any given game, but we seriously could win all of those games. Wouldn't it be sweet to go into a matchup with a top 5/10 Iowa team at 14-3 (10-1)?! :D P.S. I know it theoretically hurts us, but I literally burst out laughing seeing Duke at #115. :LOL: Coach K will definitely call for the season to be cancelled now! [/QUOTE]
