I personally still don't think they finish better than 4th in the conference, and 5th wouldn't be shocking. I think it will come down to their final 2 games (MSU and Purdue at home).
Thats fair, before the season I thought UK, OSU, and NCST were loses. Thought ND, Butler and Evansville would be tough games. But between those 6, I would have said 4 losses (5 total). But then I projected a 9-9 Big Ten finish.
I guess I look at the fact that they havent played in but 4 close games and won 3 of them. They blew teams out that pre-season most thought would be close or tough games. I think they have covered every game but MSU. Maybe I just undervalued the team compared to you. I never saw Watford playing this well, Hulls being a legitimate threat at the PG spot but mostly I didnt see Sheehey and Oladipo becoming All-Big Ten type performers (Oladipo this year and Sheehey in future years).
