Right, you're not drastically changing your resume at this point unless you beat Iowa by 100.

Some BSologist in podunk just said we need to win the BIG tourney to get on the bubble, lol--guess the ultra nonsense is entertaining to some
We have very little margin for error. We would right now have the worst NET of all time to get an at large.
I agree losing to NW or Neb would hurt perception than losing to Iowa, but beating NW or Neb in their 3rd straight game would be a easier task than Iowa. That said, I think Iowa peaked and will come back a bit, a win vs Iowa may get us out of Dayton,
I'm just annoyed that the early losses 4 months ago somehow outweigh the wins we've had and being 4 games over .500 in the best and deepest league in mens CBB. If you switch Indiana's and RU's resumes this season, Indiana is no worse than 10 with no debate getting in, and we would be a 3 seed in the NIT with a 9-11 conference record.
IMO, RU should be a 8-9 seed. That said, I will gladly take SMU in Dayton and then a rematch vs Houston in 5/12. I want Houston in our side of bracket.

Iowa would be a big favorite against Nebraska because they have a squad full of scorers.On a bad game they will score 70 points.
Their legs will be shot.
It’s exactly what happened to us in 2018. Shot out of a cannon, playing well, run into a brick wall.
If you feel that worried about Nebraska making a run and beating Rutgers then you should be taking Nebraska to win the BTT.
$100 wins $50,000.
First, why would you want an 8-9 seed? Second, for comparison's sake, SHU is being projected as an 8-9 seed with a similar Q1 record (6-6 vs RU 6-5), NET in the low 30s, and 0 Q3+4 losses. I wish you guys were an 8-9 seed because then we wouldn't be lol

Honestly you should be thinking of winning the whole thing. Win one game and ur in the finals. You’ve proved you can beat anyone on any given day. Win 2 games and ur the AQ
Let me start by saying my opinion is that we are in today as an 11 in the last 4 byes. Although an argument can be made for a 10 seed . Now the team that since FEB 1 has gone through the 8 game gauntlet and Penn State finished 6-3 , which is tremendous and worthy of a 5-6 seed. Now those lovely metrics , which we are very good with since FEB 1 , factors the early season losses to Lafayette and UMASS , 2 buzzer beater losses with late leads , and the inconsistency before Feb 1,and that would make us a bubble or out of the tourney at best because of the Purdue , Michigan and Iowa wins counter balanced with the losses to non tourney teams. The compromise then objectively is we are not a team out of the tourney and not a 5-6 seed but a 10,11 or 12 seed at worst. 8-9 seed I think is out because of the Quad losses and most of the 8/9 seeds do not have those 2 losses. Maybe 1 not 2 .

when we're cutting down the nets in Indy just before the selection show starts, we'll all look back at this and laugh
What would be ur guess on seeding if u win the B10 Tourney? Don’t know if you can get better than 8/9.
"eight game gauntlet and Penn State" 8 and 1 = 9
the "and" is +. Eight game gauntlet + Penn State is nine games.
Sorry you cannot read or count. Would have been better to discuss the content of the thread. Just saying.
Glad you have more faith in this team than a chunk of the board
4. Maybe 5.
Few years ago a wisconsin team came out of no where to win b10 and they were a 3
