We'll almost certainly be 22-4, while having played a very difficult schedule, when the new polls come out. Why would a ranking between #6 and #8 be high? Where would you put us, outside the top 10?

Have played a tough schedule
Have played a tough schedule
Have played a tough schedule but no real marquee wins. pitt and k-state are solid, minnesota on the road is good but looks less impressive now than it did. I'd probably have indiana, duke (better wins), miami, gonzaga, syracuse, florida, msu, and possibly arizona though they have no real great wins either. That puts us at 7th or 8th and you could still make an argument for kansas though their schedule is easier. I'm not saying we are worse than all those teams, just that our resume matches up with those and how you choose to shuffle them around is mostly bias.

You should also list home versus OSU

and NCSt & @Illinois are also two wins over "Others Receiving Votes"
But, yeah, 7-8 sounds reasonable. Anything in the Top 10 will work itself out by the end of the season.

Until Kelly comes back. If he comes back healthy they will be just as scary as they were at the start of the season when they were blowing through top 5 teams. Hopefully Morgan has that same effect on our squad...

By one statistical analysis (conducted in mid-January), Morgan was the Big Ten's most valuable defender.

When they where blowing
When they where blowing
When they where blowing through top 5 teams like Kentucky and Louisville?
It's late in the season and alot easier to judge who is good and who isn't. It's a down year for college basketball but the big ten easily has 4-5 teams in the top 10 and 5-7 in the top 20.
Reminds me of the tourneys back when the big ten would have 4-5 teams in the sweet 16 and 2-3 in the final four. Michigan struggled onthe road vs. a good MSU team , name one team who wasn't struggled horribly in atleast one game. While you're at it name another who would have played better. Seriously they played Indiana , Wisconsin and MSU on the road 95% of college teams would go 0-3 in that stretch.
Until Michigan gets stronger defensively and stronger inside both defensively and offensively this seems like a sweet 16 team. They have the pieces to be an awesome team but college basketball doesn't really allow teams to gel for more than one season anymore.

it's not just M that loses 3-4 games a year? b/c I was under the impression (based on all the hoops threads) that only a crappy Beilein disaster of a team could lose 4 games.

Terrapin Inspiration...
From an offensive standpoint, Maryland actually played some inspired basketball, shooting almost 13% above their typical effective FG%, whereas Duke actually put in what for them would be an average performance by most measures. Then again, anything which gives Coach K a sad makes the world a better place at least for a moment or two.
