Are We In Or Out…….Of The B1G 10 Tournament?

[RAC93]

Since the NCAAs feel like a real pipe dream, let’s examine something more realistic as only 15 of 18 make it to the conference tourney this year.

 

[RAC93]

The vote is about 50/50, about the same way I see it that it’s a coin flip if we can make it

 

[darkcheck]

In. It but one and out

 

[RutgersClassof2004]

Pathetic

 

[RAC93]

In. It but one and out

That might be the outcome too, they make it, quick exit and end of season. Very similar to last season.

The poll is missing the only intelligent choice (I don't know yet). Anyway, that's how I would vote in the poll: don't know yet.

In

To each his own, we have seen 14 games (nearly half a season) of this team to make an estimate of where we think they’ll end up in the B1G standings. They are not a top half of the conference standings team based upon what we have seen, bottom half team and looks to me like it’s going to be close to them being around that 13-16 range.

Kenpom has us finishing big ten play at 7-13 with a few other teams. Were on the big ten tourney bubble as of today

The team has only played 3 conf. Games and were 1-2 with the usual home/ away record.
I don't know yet.

I’ll be cheering on and supporting like crazy but it’s a lot to ask. They need to go 11-6 the rest of the way at minimum to have a chance. I voted no.

Jan 4th and we are down to debating if this team will even make the BTT when 15 teams are taken. Holy cow is this program in hospice right now

This vote was just to see if they can finish top 15 in conference and make the Big 10 Tournament, not the NCAAs.

I guess my preseason bet to win the natty is off the table. 😅

Whoops…. I’m in then but it will be close.

It’s the future, and anything can happen. Gotta wait and see.

I think the “fans” are, actually

Well aware it’s the future, that was the point, asking people to make a prediction based upon what we have seen through nearly half a season.

But the team is improving very rapidly. So past performance may not is not be indicative of future results. 🙂

Curious if you you really believe this. How exactly?

I am not sure if I share the sentiment of the team improving when all four of the portal transfers are total zeroes and Derkack, the only one who had been contributing regularly, looks worse in recent games. Hope you’re right, but the sampling we have seen has not been pretty beyond Dylan/Ace great games, big moments and highlights……the supporting cast, or the others as some like to call them, as a whole seem to be playing worse with each passing game. Hope you’re right, but as far as bottom line results and wins/losses, I am getting a lot of last year’s team vibes.

 

[RAC93]

What do we think now?

 

[ScottRU93]

Out

 

[chrism25]

We should be asking, will this team finish above .500?

 

[RUisB1Gtime]

Just a hunch. Pretty sure we are out lol..

 

[RAC93]

I think it’s fair to wonder if this team can even go 16-15, a losing record seems more likely

More and more I'm just starting not to care whether they make the B1G tourney or not. Let this season die - it has been a monumental letdown . Alumni/Fans deserved better than what was constructed here.
