You clearly have not watched much Big Ten basketball this year. Worst teams in the league are Penn State, Rutgers, and Minnesota in that order. Nebraska is pretty good and is looking like they could make the tournament this year.

And again, probably putting lipstick on a pig here, but Seton Hall is starting to show some signs of life. They've won 3 of 4 @ Mizzou, UConn and @ Providence. That's the one team with a pulse that we have beat.

Overall, I still think this team can win 7-10 games in the league--the rest of the conference just isn't that good; it's very top heavy this year. The home Michigan loss was bad, but apart from that Iowa is losing to really good teams all away from home. KenPom somehow still has Iowa as the 6th best team in the league--I certainly think that's probably too high, but probably points to this team being able to win some games against the lesser teams of the conference.

You clearly haven't looked at the physical makeup of our team v. our future opponents. Our makeup is closer to HS or middle age rec. league.

Minny is the only team close to us in terms of lack of bulk/size.

And I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if other coaches in BT have told players to bully Patrick like Wisky did as there's nothing we can do about it.

You really haven't watched Penn State this year yet, have you.
 
Okay I finally had my first prediction miss.

Hopefully they can keep the good times going and get a win at Minnesota on Monday night

As always, we are not as bad as we have looked against the OK's and UM's of the world. We're also not as good as we have looked against Rutger's and Nebby's of the world either. We don't rebound well enough and our defense is still sub par. When we play with rhythm and can make 3's, we can stay in games and sneak a few wins.

Beat Maryland, Ohio State, Penn St, Illinois, Minny, and Wisconsin at home and Penn State on the road, Lose at home to Purdue, and road games at Michigan, IU, Maryland, Michigan St, Illinois and NW. 10-10. Illinois and Wisconsin are nice wins. Again, beat Purdue at home and get to 11-9 and I think we make it as a possible play in game. I'd actually take that.

non-conference season is mostly a cake walk and they lost to the non-conference teams that has pulses.

The B1G might be a bad B-ball conference but this is Fran's worst team since JBO/Cook were Freshmen.

I think they can win 5 home games in B1G play...I don't think they can win many games on the road in B1G. The bottom feeders of B1G are nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota. I'm not sure Iowa is better than Nebraska.

Funny, Mr Flip Flop. In another thread, much more recent of course, you said that Iowa looks like a 10-10 B1G team. I suppose if you cover every outcome, you’ll eventually be right.

I predict we win 3 of next four (MD, MI, IU and tOSU). Loss will be IU.

Indiana is a mess right now. Players not getting along, There has been a player ejected last 3 games and Indiana coach throwing his seniors under the bus. I will say we win the next 5 games with Michigan being the hardest of those!

The next 7 games are all winnable if Iowa is getting decent outside shooting and continued point in paint production. But Dix needs to to attempt at least 3 shots a game to balance out the looks and shooters.

Qc had them 4-4 over this stretch. This could be a point where his prediction falls apart. I could see 6-2.

Remember last year when we went to Assembly Hall? We crushed them by 22 points.

great insight! I would gladly take a W in Bloomington. Luckily TJD is gone too!

Yes 'ive moved up moved expectations to 10-10 in conference which would make Iowa an average B1G team. which would make me a flip flopper since you are in charge of monitoring expectations.

At start of B1G season I thought around 6-8 wins B1G wins and we did lose to Purdue and Michigan at start of B1G.. At the time Fran was starting Krikke at Center, Freeman was coming off bench, PMAC was in starting lineup, Dix had not had much PT to show his skills. I've seen enough of Fran to see that he's slow to change his starting lineups---but even he has relented after 0-2 B1G start and moved Krikke out of Center spot and gone with Freeman. The PMAC injury has made not starting PMAC possible and allowed DIx to shine.

At this time after losing to Purdue a 2nd time, I will stick with 10-10 in B1G and the B1G is still a terrible conference in terms of expected NCAA tournament performance. Purdue does look better this year than last year when they lost to Farleigh and Wisconsin looks much improved, Illinois got Shannon back...so maybe B1G can have three decent NCAA performance at top end but teams in the middle of the pack do not threats for deep NCAA run. .

Yes, I adjust my expectations based on how the team develops and what Fran does. We'll see if Fran goes back to starting PMAC over Dix when he's healthy---I would expect PMAC goes back to starting lineup unless he himself decides he wants to come off bench. There isn't much backup depth if Sandfort, Freeman, Dix, Perkins go down so expecations would turn south again.

I think I'd adjust down not up in this scenario
 
Okay, I just watched the Purdue game. We went toe-to-toe with them. That Edey dude got plenty of calls, plenty of points swung their way, but they should've been blocks. I'm feeling a lot better about this team.
 
12 games to go, not counting BTT, including 7 road games

I had them at 15 wins. It’s hard to see anything different at this point.
 
We aren’t making the NIT. Rebuilding after 13 years. This mediocre program that hasn’t been to a sweet 16 forever is going down the shitter.
 
With 12 games left they need to go 8-4 to finish over .500 in the league. Who realistically thinks that's going to happen?
3-5 more wins I can buy. 6 is pushing it. But 8? No way.

This team is way too streaky to predict. There are not many good teams in the BT this year, so they have a chance in many games, but I don't see any game they play as a sure thing. I think their ceiling is 11 wins, but then I don't think there is anything close to a probability of them going 8-4 the rest of the season. They could just as easily, if not more so, go 4-8. Sigh.

Looking at the remaining schedule, I can see maybe 4-5 more. Tough to find more than that without being a homer. My vote in this poll was 15 total in the regular season, so I haven't really changed my outlook.
