sure, 7-11 gets you to the NIT bubble but that's a very heavy lift.
And you're really asking if we can go 5-3 since we have only 8 true conference home games. Tough, but not imposssible. I think 4-4 is a more realistic goal.
The end game is a winning season which requires at least 5 more victories.Penn State is a must win because its the first league home game against a opponent that Rutgers will be favored to defeat.
