Same, but I hate watching Edey so approaching with caution tonight.* Archived Message

Previous Message The Wisconsin win gave me a sense of finality as it relates to the regular season. We aren’t going to win the conference and I’m pretty sure we aren’t getting to a 3 seed, but we accomplished my main goal for any regular season - we stacked another season of being nationally relevant, being ranked for most of the season, and finishing near the top of the Big Ten with a high tournament seed. This makes 3 of 4 seasons where we were one of the 2 best teams in the Big Ten and will get a top 5 seed in the NCAA tournament. It was really important that we re-established that after the disappointing year last season. I’ve got a weird “mission accomplished” type calmness about the regular season portion of this season, now I just kind of want to fast forward to March 21st. Instead of my normal unhealthy way of watching these games, I feel like I’m just ready to calmly enjoy a fun matchup tonight. The narrator is surely waiting to chime in on that comment though. Previous Message Cup worthy is that we win today, Wisconsin beats Purdue, and we lose to Iowa. Previous Message My cup is firmly in place Previous Message Latest Matrix has us as the 2nd 4 seed. Neither game last night went our way. Things get much more straightforward after tonight. Lose and a 3 seed is out of the picture. Win and I think it’s going to be really hard to slip below the 4 line. http://www.bracketmatrix.com/ Teams to root for in bold: Purdue at Illinois Alabama at Florida Auburn at Missouri Kansas St at Kansas Syracuse at Clemson
