[QUOTE="Deleted member 631370, post: 1360073"] A range of 6 to 10 wins can put us anywhere from 12th to 6th. Generally, I think we'll finish 9th or 10th -- comfortably outside of the NCAA tournament. That's slightly better than the media prediction of 12th. But I can completely understand why the media picked us 12th. I came into this season a bit more optimistic than the media, but the difference was a difference in degree and not kind. And in terms of how the prognosticators will pick for next season.......that heavily depends on how this team finishes the season. Unfortunately for us, B1G play starts @ NW, Maryland, @ Minnesota, @ Michigan. But say we win 6 of our last 10. Or 8 of our last 14. We show progress and growth going into next season and return virtually the entire roster + a 5* PG.......you're going to see most prognosticators picking us to make the tournament next year. But that depends on how this season ends. As I've said for weeks......this is a conversation better had in March. [/QUOTE]
