Never thought we would be at least dreaming of the tourney so it’s fun to do so, but I recall a similar Iowa team beating us last year at home so this is a tough task Friday. They are always well coached.
Game Thread: Northwestern vs. Minnesota
- Thread starter mshelton33
- Start date
If we qualify for the BTT, which would obviously happen by going 3-0 from here on out, the first game will be quad 2 in the NET, which would be added to quad 2 (Iowa), quad 1 (UCLA) and quad 1 (Maryland) wins. There wouldn't be many bubble teams with those kind of results down the stretch. Of course it also depends a lot on other teams near the bubble, stolen auto bids, etc.
I think winning the next 3 + 1 BTT gets us to the very edge, and it could go either way. 3 + 2 we're at least in Dayton.
There's also probably some scenario that allows for a loss to Maryland and still being in the Dayton discussion with 2 home wins and 2 BTT wins. Also could conceivably lose to UCLA and beat Maryland and have the same scenario. Losing either home game would require beating Maryland to keep any glimmer of hope. Going 1-2 not only shuts the door but might even leave us out of the BTT.

THIS.
To me, tomorrow's game is more F Iowa than anything else.
And one step closer to the BTT which is one step closer to a postseason tournament.
