We will clearly be underdogs at Oklahoma. That's probably a good thing. Let's see if our guys come out with some fire.

Right now, we are at about 100# when it comes to our PRI or whatever. We need to beat Ok and several other legit teams to ^/get up to about 50 if we are going to get into the tourney at the end of the season! I will be at the edge of my seat the entire game. I hope I will have a lot to cheer for!

Hmmm. I'm looking at a KenPom of #46 for 9-4 Northwestern. While a "W" against the Sooners would certainly help, a loss should still keep the 'Cats around the mid to high 40's. At least that's how I see it.

Are you serious? We have virtually zero quality wins so far this year!? We beat Illini and Depaul. And lost four games against legit teams. I hope you are correct- I'd love to get to the tourney whatever way, but we are desperate for some quality wins this season I believe....??

The quality wins will take care of themselves. a/o this morning KenPom has Northwestern one slot behind Ohio State and just ahead of the Zero's (Oregon). Edited to add KenPom has your "friends" from Champaign at #93. I'm seeing two dances in a row for Northwestern (if/when they take care of their business in league).
