But Wisconsin is 78 in NET. If they move up with a win to 75 our win against them becomes another Q1 road win on our resume

likely need to win, close does nothing for us. yes double digits is the worst case scenario

if we deserve it we will win, this our third chance, wont cry if we dont make it because we dont deserve it then
Who knew that one player down.. and not Cliff.. meant a team that could beat anyone, it seemed.. would become unworthy of the NCAAs. It is sad for everyone.. even if we won't cry.

Ohio State is doing everything they can to hand this game to Wisconsin.

This just goes to show you how hard it is to blow a game like that. OSU made all the same kind of dumb mistakes we did and missed FTs but were able to get the defensive rebound they when Whisky missed.

not that it is easy to happen, but you have them in today and if teams behind us like Wisc keep losing and no bid stealers- why wouldn’t we be in?

We are 21st in defensive 3pt%
I wonder how it is in our losses... and games without Mag. We got bad at stopping penetration.. which lead to open threes. And our team and D was centered around recruiting taller guards who could switch easily. But losing Mag hurt that badly as every replacement has defensive weaknesses.. making us more vulnerable.. and, IMHO, Paul has not handled this well.. tries to help too much and loses his man... or loses a step that gives leverage that he cannot give up. He cannot elevate and block guys who are more athletic jumpers.. so he needs to stop penetration or them getting the ball in the first place.

Not sure about in losses but since Feb 5 (day after Mag went down) we are #160
