If we knock off Nova Saturday at home (next game) we can start talking about a NCAA bid again.
Season starts Saturday!!!
Man I really wish we didn't choke away Butler. 12-7 (4-2) would look so much nicer.
But agree, now its just about beating Nova Saturday. Gotta keep holding serve at home.
Nova spanked tonight. They are coming in with a red a$$
MU will have to play all out to beat Villanova at home, especially with them coming off the 28 point loss to Creighton tonight. Nova will come out fired up to not lose 2 in a row, MU will have to bring it.
And with the season on the line these guys can't get jacked for that game???

Good they will play out of control and hand us the game.
13-5.

Wisconsin suffered a pretty big and damaging defeat at Wisconsin and came home and still didn't put it together against Michigan.
It was the first time Nova has lost in a month, and a confidence shaking loss at that. If we play good perimeter D, I could see Nova forcing it and shooting themselves out of the game.
The magnitude of last night's win can't be understated. 4th place in the conference is there for the taking. Achieving 'best of the rest' status just might sneak you into the dance as I'd have to sense that the BEast will warrant 4 bids.
Obviously way too early to worry. Play and win them one at a time. Perhaps a little like Butler's Senior year. Remember those road OT games down the stretch?

If they are coming in with a red a$$, then it would be more than appropriate to ram the red hot poker solidly in theirs. Give them something to really think about.
Saturday is big, but we have a long way to go to be on the bubble. There are 12 conference games left and none of them will be easy.
