I still think we will lose one in there so I went 10-8. No Big East team that has gone 10-8 has missed the tourny. Couple that with the soft bubble and expanded field I'm feeling good even if we lose one. I'm feeling better if we sweep!
I said 10-8. Im really scared of the Cincy game. They are hot right now. Still, 11-7 is a realistic possibility.
I went 11-7, but I'm an optimist. Nice to have the margin for error back.
I had gone with 10-8 in the poll that was before tonight's game. But I'm feeling giddy about the last three games, so the optimist in me went 11-7. I understand 10-8 as well, Cincinnati is quite a scary team when they click on all cylinders. But, like tonight, I think MU can weather another storm if need be (esp. at home).
