6 wins in 6 days? WE GOT THIS

[Skunkpilot]

NU has never won 3 games in a single Big Ten Tournament. Seems like as good a time as any to break that unfortunate streak.

I like this idea…

Would winning 5 out of 6 get us into the NIT?

It might even get us into the Dance. If not NIT I would guess for sure. Long shot for the Dance, but why not. We have now won 5/7 and winning 3 more would be 8 of last 11. There would be 4 Quad 1 wins in that stretch. Best basketball at the end. We would also have 18 wins overall. Lot of people And we would have something like 5 quad 1 wins and even three top 10 wins (Purdue, Nebraska and MSU to get us to the Championship game). They like Cinderella stories. So why not.

Have you seen your historical BTT record?!? It's laughable .

Getting better

Purdue is beatable in a neutral venue.

Getting better

Yes. We went 2-9 in our last BTT games prior to this season.

Purdue is beatable in a neutral venue.

And we are gonna be playing with house money. Remember how in the FB playoffs the teams with byes tended to come out not quite ready to play and most lost to lower seeded teams that had gotten a game under their belt?

We are Northwestern. Belief without evidence (and total disregard for history)

Is faith.

I wish, but not likely. Even with 5 straight wins our overall record would be sub-.500

We can win Tuesday and then will fall flat on our faces lol. And then the most important offseason since 2021-22 begins for Chris Collins. No tourney next year and he’s gone.

Doubt that

Again, they like a Cinderella story and it depends on who loses. One team that would not get in is Indiana as we would have just beaten them twice, We would have also beaten Purdue, Nebraska and Michigan State. Tough to get all of those wins but if we did, we would have 5 Quad 1 wins and be at the very least a really, really interesting story.

Would be wild and probably one of the oddest cases ever for the committee as we’d be one game under .500 with a title game loss and finished 15th in our league. But we’d also have rattled off three wins against likely top four seeds in a row and have a reasonable NET rating. Fun to imagine, but let’s just get our annual tradition of beating a ranked Purdue team out of the way first.

Got to beat them before anything else, When we get by them, we can talk about NEB
