Is it wrong for me to hope NU beats OSU without the Bucks best player?

If Wesson is out the rest of the year and Ohio State loses out (they are currently an underdog to us right now), I'm guessing they don't make the tourney. They really don't have any solid wins, besides the Iowa game recently and the first game of the year vs. Cincinnati.
Did he go to class?Interesting, I cannot help but wonder what he did that might bench him for the rest (of the almost over) season?
Done and doneYou forgot their quad 1 win at Creighton.
Their resume blows away bubble teams at this point (remember, during the noncon, they actually had a NET ranking of 1!), which is why they are far from a bubble team right now. Thus, I am guessing that they would have to lose out AND lose to us by double digits to drop enough to miss the Dance. Just don't see that happening, Wesson or no.
And Lunardi has just eight 10 B1G teams in. Not 9. Or more.Still iin Lunardi's beacket. As a 10 seed.
Because he genrally seeds the least amount of BIG teams of almost any major bracket predictor. And he has Indiana in next four out, which will go to first four after tonight's waxing of Illinois (a quad 2 win). Still like my prediction of 8-9 a lot more than your prediction of 7...And Lunardi has just eight 10 B1G teams in. Not 9. Or more.
I recall you predicting 10 on multiple occasions... I don’t recall seeing the 8-9 prediction, but I probably missed the back and forth between you and FitzyBecause he genrally seeds the least amount of BIG teams of almost any major bracket predictor.

Link to my predicting 10 specifically? "As many as 10" doesn't count...My predictions are easy to follow, I have a whole thread about them!

Ummmm..... your prediction was "9 or more", not "8 or 9"........Still like my prediction of 8-9 a lot more than your prediction of 7...

I will say 9 or more. We can see who is correct at the end of the season....
I have better things to do with my time, and it’s not a big deal anyways. But I recall it on a couple occasions. Early to mid conference season. Regardless, it’s a tough conferenceLink to my predicting 10 specifically? "As many as 10" doesn't count...My predictions are easy to follow, I have a whole thread about them!

10 or more was possible at one point... now Nebraska is out, the only way 10 could possibly happen is if a bottom feeder wins the BTT. 9 is still possible. I think 8 is the most likely outcome. 7 is possible if OSU loses to Wisconsin, and then again to start the BTT (and Indiana limps in too).I thought 10 or more was a possibility, and today I stand by that.
I had three primary drivers behind that prediction....
* NU is a senior-heavy team....Pardon, Law, Turner, Falzon, Ash,Taylor....and experience makes a mountain of a difference in college basketball. Injuries took a bite out of this, and lack of a PG put those who could walk into a hole;
* The Big Ten, under the first two or three, is flat. That was correct, I just didn't realize the conference as a whole would be so much better this year, literally no weak teams;
* College basketball is about runs that build confidence in young mens' minds and perpetuate success. NU didn't put together a run all season. There was individual mojo but never team mojo. I don't think NU won a 50/50 game all season....two Iowa losses, Mich loss, Indiana loss....bunch of games under 10 pts. With some religion and luck this team could have won another 4 or so games.
