    Hell, I'd be doing that even if they did have homeowners insurance.

    And I'll probably make it a 24-pack.

  • 29 points from a guy who barely played most of the year until getting a bit more time due to CJ getting hurt? Yeah, I wouldn't have expected that. At the least, Ahrens looks to be a guy who can hit threes and this team needs a bit more competence from long range, given how much they shoot from there.

    The win was a great one for the team's postseason chances, as their resume beforehand was essentially "Cincinnati and a few other Quad 1 teams". Home against a ranked opponent is a huge boost to their chances.

    I know Vball has said they probably need to be 10-10 in the conference with making it to the B1G tournament semis and I'm not saying that isn't the case, as there's a chance that because the bubble is filled with so much mediocrity -- just look at the "barely in/barely out" group in Lunardi's (used due to being the more prominent of the guessers) projection and see the outright mediocrity on display -- that the committee could lean towards good small conference teams (ie: hope that the favorites win the more prominent of those tournaments to keep them at 1 bid). But it does seem that coming into last night, most bracket guesses had OSU in around a 10 (according to Lunardi, still not even in the "last 4 in" or "last 4 not in the play-in round") and ESPN's Bubble Watch basically is insinuating that something in the vicinity of "one more good win" to "just don't collapse, lose out in the regular season and then get dumped immediately in the conference tournament" should at minimum have them in the mix.

    My 100% off the top of my head guesses:

    Lose out -- need to make B1G finals if not win it.

    Beat NW, lose the other two -- definitely win one B1G tourney game, probably 2 to be reasonably secure.

    Beat either Purdue/Wisc, lose to NW -- win one B1G tourney game, as the blah loss would somewhat offset the good win. Might get in regardless, but the tournament win would make it more secure.

    Beat either Purdue/Wisc, beat NW -- likely in

    Beat both Purdue/Wisc, regardless of what happens vs. NW -- in.

    It was mostly just vball who didn’t like it.

     

    You are correct, but once I took my Scarlet & Gray glasses off and donned my Brown & Orange, I began to see things more clearly...bottom line, In Dorsey I Trust.

  • Good win at Indiana. Kyle Young's return to the lineup has been huge. He might not score a lot but he gives them energy and toughness around the basket at both ends of the floor.

  • Too many turnovers but they did regroup and get a quality road win. 70-60 over Nebraska.

  • I believe ownership has finally figured out how to run a football team. Hire a strong football man and let him run things. Hire a HC and let him assembly his staff. Now Jimmy will have plenty of time to fiddle around with his soccer team.
