[QUOTE="Ransom Stoddard, post: 1360248, member: 10336"] To be nitpicky, we're tied for 12th ([B]after only 2 games[/B]) with Rutgers and Iowa. We're also only 2 games out of first. See how silly it is to make statements like that this early in conference play? It's like being worried that the Cubs are in last in the division on April 25th. We could finish 8-10 in conference and probably be around 9th. I don't know if there are 8 B1G wins on the schedule right now, probably closer to 6, but even 6 wins is probably 11th place, +/- 1. There are 2 great teams in the league right now, a pack of 8 behind them, and then the bottom 4, which, unfortunately, we look to be one of, but so what, this team is fun to watch. First, you never stopped your argument, so there's nothing to resume. ;) Second, where the preseason prognosticators pick us has absolutely no bearing on what actually takes place on the basketball court or what the resume looks like in March.
