Oso planning to go pro
Win or lose, there will be spectacularly bad hot takes, wailing, gnashing of teeth, rending of garments.
It isn’t a must win. Cmon…
It absolutely is. It'd be a Quad 3 loss. The record would be 3-3.Remaining Non-Con against Chicago State, Baylor, Wisconsin, NCCU, Notre Dame.With Baylor and Wisconsin likely being losses, you'd need to beat ND on the road just to finish above .500 in the NonCon. Even with a win at ND they'd be 6-5. Meaning they'd likely have to go 12-8 in the Big East to be on the bubble at 18-13.
So in other words…not a must win.
Why is wisco a likely lose? Beyond being on the road, I really don't think it is. You might be able to say that in a few days if they rack up a couple of wins. But beating Stanford on a baseball diamond isn't enough to say they are a top 45-50 team.
UW is playing us in Milwaukee, but it's Wisconsin. They always seem to find a way even in down years. They limit mistakes and we've already struggled in a slow game.
I just made the road assumption because you said likely loss, and forgot they were home. As of today, Marquette is favorites on KP, Barttovik, Haslametrics, so likely loss might be a little strong.They are currently more likely to lose to ND than they are to lose to Wisconsin.
