Schedule after Penn St game

[purplebirder]

The four games after Penn State are challenging (all Top 25 teams based on Coaches Poll)

For forum members who closely follow the team (I live in Tucson AZ so do not attend games and seldom see the Cats on TV) , how many of those games do the Cats have a realistic chance to win ?

I think the common sentiment is that 0 wouldn't surprise, 1 would be good for postseason hopes, 2 would be good for NCAA hopes, and >2 would suggest it might be time to get a new pair of dancing shoes.

Only Indiana.

The Cats have a fighting chance in each of these four games.

I'd be happy if they won one. If they win more than one I'll be shocked.

2/4 wouldn't surprise me.

You are unusually optimistic. I admire you.

This is the ugly stretch. This is the place in the schedule where the Cats need to hang tough. I'd bet they will end the stretch below .500 in conference play, and things can turn bad.

On the other hand, if they can pull out one ... just one of these games, that might be the big win their resume needs.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Even if the Cats lose all 4, I don't think they go down the tubes. This is just a tougher, more resilient NU team that prior years.
