Torvik has the 'Cats as #126 and last in the Big Ten for the whole season, but looking only since Thanksgiving, the 'Cats are 4-1 and ranked #81, 15th in the conference by efficiency and 10th by Wins Above Bubble.
Unfortunately the schedule makers didn't do us any favors, and we only get the worst teams once, all away (Wisconsin, Purdue, Rutgers). Meanwhile, we have a 10-game stretch from New Year's Eve through February 6th where each game is considered by Torvik to be "NCAA tournament" quality opposition.
Another solid win today though.
