They have a chance to pull an upset in the B10 Tournament but not 3 in a row. That is what would be needed to get an NCAA bid. They would have to win the B10 Tournament. We should be proud of the effort and just keep pulling for the team to improve. Hopefully, we stay serious injury-free, retain our players, and bring in 1-2 more contributors. The core of this team could still have a bright future.

or go on at least a seven game winning streak to finish 12-6 B1G / 18-11 overall with at least one win in the BTT to eke out an at-large bid?

Because winning the likely four games in a row at the BTT is now more probable.

Another good effort, but this team just isn't good enough to blow rebounds and point-blank shots on the road. It's an NIT team, but it should at least be an interesting one for next season.

this team has proven it can play against anyone anywhere; at msu at iu against wisky. they could upset one of the big dogs in the tourny, i just don't see multiple upsets.

next year though. you can see the confidence building in guys like maar, dawkins and doyle. if doyle gets a little more fierce on D in the paint, this team will battle for the BIG title next year.

is good enough, even missing two starters and starting three freshmen, to hang with a much more talented group. Add back Caris and Walton next season and look out.

I applaud the effort. Obviously we, and especially the team, wanted that win but they just didn't make enough plays. Keep working and eventually good things will happen. One practice, one day, one game at a time this team just needs to continue improving.

When you aren't as emotionally interested in something anymore, it doesn't hurt as bad. Take my prior relationship as proof.
