Opponents not looking great of late

[MU82]

It looks better.  I'm guessing MU82's prediction that they are toast becomes a little less crispy, too.  Top high school player in the state at the game, too.  Some people think with their heart, not their brains, aye?

Your Badgers are still toast, F%cky fan.

I only saw the last few seconds because I was on my way to Milwaukee, but it was a good win for your guys.

Oh that is so cute, similar to your false statement that only a handful of NFL players have guaranteed money....60% do.

At any rate, keep going with it and safe travels back.


K State beat TCU yesterday, they are definitely back on track.

[PGsHeroes32]

Our losses definitely not looking great of late.

Indiana is abysmal right now
SJU has been ok at best
Kansas without Azubuike just isn't Kansas. Hopefully they win this ISU game. But man are they shaky

[4everwarriors]

Yeah butt, wee only got tree of dem, hey?

[IrwinFletcher]

Without Happ?

Yes.

With just 3 losses at this point of the season that loss isn't going to make much difference.  I am cheering for them to lose now because we are going to be battling them for a higher seed for the rest of the season as well as the closest tournament site Des Moines.

3 total losses all to NCAA Tournament teams.

We're just fine.

Yeah that's a good point too.

Shame Lawson is such a stud. He went and won that game last night. Or they woulda lost again.

What was stupid about a guy going for 29 and 15 on 13/17 shooting being the difference maker in a game decided in the final minute?

Or you just being ironic?

[PGsHeroes32]

Another big win for Kstate. TT continues to flounder. But huge win for them.

Buffalo on the other hand. Needs to get it going in half two

[MuMark]

Markus Howard scored as many points against KSU as Texas Tech's whole team did tonight.......

NIU wins by two.  Woof.

[NYWarrior]

NIU wins by two.  Woof.

Jaylen Key, son of #MUBB great Damon Key, with 9 points tonight for the winning Huskies.

[MuMark]

IU is a mess right now......suspended their 4th leading scorer and down 14 at Northwestern.

MU and IU have gone in different directions since they whomped us......it's a long season.

At least that's cool

Louisville was only ranked #57 by KenPom when Marquette faced them back in November. But the Cardinals are up to #16 after smoking both #7 North Carolina and Georgia Tech by 20+ on the road.

Marquette's neutral court win over UL could end up being our best win of the season, along with at home over #13 Wisconsin. Villanova may represent our final two regular season games against Top 25 teams -- unless Butler (#42), St. John's (#48) or Creighton (#54) step things up the rest of the way.

[Carl]

Should we be rooting for Villanova to keep winning?  Seems like our best chance to get high quality resume wins in conference, regardless of if we win the regular season.  The BE beating itself up after a lackluster Non-Conference performance doesn't help anybody, but it's the reality.

Wouldn't our ceiling improve if it became a 2 man race with Nova and we came out on top?  Lot of basketball to be played, but it seems like a team with our talent shouldn't be looking at a 3 seed as the peak.

I saw many comments on Twitter after our game with them from their fans saying how MU sucked and it was ridiculous we were ahead of them in the rankings. I bet those same people now will be talking about their "signature" win over MU on selection Sunday begging to get in. Funny how that can change.

Yeah, but look at the Flip side, check out our Board after that loss to IU.

Yup.

[tower912]

Mocking other boards for losing their (crap) after a loss..... irony defined.

At this point, I don't think it matters much. Our ceiling is probably a 2-seed regardless of what Villanova does. If we win out we might get to the 1-line, but considering at the minimum, one of Duke/Virginia, Michigan/MSU, & Tennessee/Kentucky will be on the top line and Gonzaga is ahead of us and unlikely to lose, a 1-seed seems unattainable.

So if our ceiling is a 2, we'll get there if we keep winning. We will have enough Q1/2 wins regardless if we take care of business. Though to get to a 2, we probably can't lose more than 2-3 more games. Considering the 7 teams listed above & Kansas isn't one of them, I really think 3 is the most likely best case.
