We'll know pretty quickly tomorrow whether we should actually be excited for the stretch run. A win at PSUand anything is possible. A loss tomorrow and the barriers become almost insurmountable.

But you are right, things are still reasonable. Kenpom has us going 10-8. If we get 10-8 with one of the big home games and one of the big roads (at ILL/NWU) I think we have a pretty good shot. I know a resume stands on its own, but those NW and Ill road games will be (The Donald) "Euuuge". Especially the ill could be a knockout blow. So while we need to get to 10-8 or better I'm definitely making friends with NWU and ILL enemies. Fifth in the B10 would be very nice. Though I may bet against them in the tourney at some point Butler looks to remain an RPI top 25. The OSU win should grow in importance, and wisky could come here as a top ten team. Pretty easy road ahead for them. So as you say good opps for truly big wins. Let's get some fire and lay it to PSU tomorrow.
