They have us playing an 8/9 game versus OSU. Who knows for sure right now.
Not really an easy match up.

I think we are out if we lose to both UM and PU and then whoever in this first round game.

Would be 18-14 and 6-11 in last seventeen games.

I think we need to win one of UM or PU to assure getting in.

Well they don't play defense and don't rebound so we should have a chance for a home win but I wouldn't be surprised if we don't get the win.
Once in a blue moon we can shoot. And Feb doesn't have a blue moon.

Their other point guard Thelwell has been hurt so Harding has been playing major minutes. Nice little player but has trouble with bigger quicker guards.
They may play a lot of zone daring us to shoot though.

We should win easily as long as Sanford and Dix do not go nuts.

To keep Dix from going nuts we are going to have to limit backdoor cuts.
