Let’s remember a few things here
1.) first …the reality is we are looking at 13-16 single digit loss teams from power 6 confrence teams and those are your 1-5 seeds.
2.) so…how do you get to 24-9 to get one of those seeds
9-2 out of confrenxe
14-6….thsr means finishing top 2 or 3 in big ten, or maybe winning a piece of it
1-1 in big ten play
That’s 24-9
3.) given that criteria …it’s gojing to be hard to pull things together that fast in November and December to have that much confrence success in January …possible , but not guaranteed.
I think we need to think the season as a journey and it’s about growing up the team in December and January to put it together in February so that when it flips to March 1at, we are ready to roll when it’s play and win 40 to get 40 more
We may have to take some lunps early to learn how to play right when the lights are brightest , and that may hurt our record and our ncaa seed
To me …the goal is get a 6 seed …which means play like a 9/10 seed through January 31st, then be ready to role and play like a top ten team in front February to move that seed up to the 6 line ….and be the 6 seed thsr NO ONE wants to play .
That’s condusive to a run ….but that first weekend first and second round game is the whole season ….and that’s what you build for to be able to walk out of that winning and believing
Do that …then all possibilities for the remainder are on the table . If we get there …look out
We had it in our grasp in 2020-2021….and let us slip away. Steve built that team for March and almost got it done .
It’s about bukdong the team to get to win the first weekend in the tourney …regardless of the lumps we take
I can’t wait for the 17 point loss to minnesota on the road in January and the cesspool this board will be ….
Because the bounce back , I think will be there
Will need patience next year
Be ready for the tollarcoaster …and hope the development in December ans jananayr leads to late season momentum Carries us over the hump when it matters most …..
