Bad headline . Rutgers beats NW Sunday night and Rutgers is comfortable in as a 9 or at worst 10 seed.. They would be ahead of Michigan , Wisconsin and Penn State and they are not leaving our 4 teams
This guy is a joke. 24 hours ago he said to Adam Breitman Rutgers could lose out and he still felt they would make Tournament lol.

On geo and austin’s pod they went over this scenario. He said if we lost to minny, in order to have any confidence going into selection sunday wed want to beat minny and win one game in the b1g tourney. If not wed be in a tough spot

Hes a top 10 bracketoloist ranked of all of them. Data changes all the time. Hence the data in the OP tweet changed. We both lost to minny + wiscy no longer q1 since that pod
It always comes to down to last game of the year for us. It’s impeccable !
Team needs to regroup and best Northwestern on Sunday !
To torture us more , I have a feeling our game vs NW will go OT.
I also need to regroup mentally and emotionally.

It would be interesting to recalibrate to make the value of wins and losses static - e.g. if you beat a team when they were Q1 it counts as Q1 no matter what they do after that and see if this is more or less predictive of NCAA tournament success than the existing net with dynamic win/loss values.
That not what he said. I think you might have an actually learning disability kid.
You've mentioned this before.. but it's not really possible to do it because the ratings in the beginning of the season would be based off of like three games and be completely nonsensical.
Even after 10 games or so there's so much noise.
Change your headline we don’t need 2. Just need to beat NE at home and we are comfortably in as a 9 or 10 seed.
Maybe I shouldn't, but I have faith that the committee is smart enough to understand that a win at #74 and a win at #76 are not very different even if they straddle different sides of an arbitrary border.
For all the “we’re in”, keep in mind committee does consider season finish. This team has regressed. If they don’t get in no one else to blame.
No somehow we went from likely in with 3 losses to close season to now out with 1 loss. Why, because Wisconsin lost to Purdue? Sure makes sense.
So is general consensus if we win on Sunday we are at least in Dayton? This thread is confusing
The bubble is so weak this year. Even updated brackets this morning have us as a 9/10 seed. Just win Sunday and we're in.
The odd of us winning 2 more games seems very slim… the Tournament might be only a dream now.
One month ago things were looking a lot different.

Thank you. People are so quick to panic that they don’t pay attention to what’s actually happening.
These people have no idea what they’re talking about. Beat NW and we’re 100% in and not in Dayton. Lose to NW and we still have a chance but have to see how the rest of the bubble teams do.
I'll gladly defer to the number crunchers here, but my simplistic view is we now need two wins. I realize the committee considers the entire season record, but our play down the stretch (4-6 last ten if we split) would look putrid and appear as an awful red flag.
If we beat northwestern and lose to Illinois/MSU/NW/etc in b10 tourney then who will really jump us on the bubble? I still think we’re ahead of Michigan Wisconsin psu at that point alone.

I think if we win one more were in. The issue brad brings up is no other at large team has as many q3/q4 losses as us and our record vs q1/q2 is at the bottom of the barrel as well
Yeah but we had 4 q4 losses last year and made it. Maybe in different years we would miss out but this year seems like there aren’t many great at larges to steal bids. Of course if there are some surprise tourney champs in ACC, big East, pac12, WCC, etc then I guess things could get dicey
Lunardi still has us as a 9 in his bracket this morning...?

The new Cavaliers coach is tasked with winning as big as the coach he once beat in a historic upset. Can it be done in Year 1?

My gut feeling is also that that was the end of this season.
I think we see a Seton Hall performance Sunday.
13-5 in 2017-18... very top-heavy year in the B1G. Only four B1G teams made it to the Big Dance that season. Michigan advanced to the NCAA title game, losing to Villanova.
