I know we're aiming for higher things here, but its been since 2004-05 since we even had a winning overall record.
If you include Caldwell we will have 31 regular season games. On top of that we will play at least one Big Ten Tournament game. Theoretically, we should also play in a post-season tournament. The worst we could do there would be 0-1 (obviously.) So 33 games.
Get to 17 wins and we are guaranteed to have a winning season, even if we lose in the first round of the Big Ten tourney and the CBI (or whatever at 17 win team would get.)
If you dont count Caldwell, we would need 2 more wins to get there (if you want to say a guarantee of a winning record vs D1 teams.)
Either way, its been a long time coming.
