Critical stretch coming and winning next four is now critical…three at home and one at The Rock vs. Princeton

9-4 record (1-1 in BIG) at this point would be very good all things considered.
 
I don’t see one over 50% probability road win on the remaining schedule. 18-13 (10-10) might be an optimistic but realistic record. The BIG Tournament is going to be a cockfight.
 
BigTen Tourney 8 vs 9 seed game might even eliminate the loser from Big Dance…especially if the 10 and 11 seeds make a run after a “play-in round” win in Indy.
 
Even if they go 4-0, their resume is not very good. They have a ton of work to do, and will have to go 10-8 minimum, might have to be 11-7 just to barely get in. Based upon what I have seen thus far, this team going 15-7 the rest of the way feels near impossible, like an Illinois 59 yard field goal into the wind kind of impossible. It’s not fully there yet but it’s hard to picture these guys going 15-7 with predominantly Big 10 games left on the schedule.

20 BigTen games on the schedule. Home and homes against three teams…and one against the rest.
Penn St
Michigan
Purdue
are home and homes.
 
I’m just nervous our offense slows down before the defense picks up

The first 29% of the season was critical and the team, as a whole, hasn’t shown they’re ready for the challenge. Not much will change.

We could easily go 0-4.
This unfortunately is true, highly unlikely, but then again going 4-0 also feels highly unlikely. This team has now given me the exact vibes of last year’s team as far as the ability to obtain wins, last year we couldn’t score, this year we can’t stop anyone from scoring, that’s the difference between the two. Looks like both teams may share the same inability to win. This year has a lot of season left but man that defense is ugly.
