[NU Sports] Big 10 Basketball

[Roy S. Lamberton]

IMHO, the key to this year is to win as many of the remaining games as we can.

What's great is the whole thing is in the hands of the players, and the rest of the league
is beating each other up to the extent that if we play well for the next few weeks, we get
the bid.

I really think it is that simple.

I think the wins tonight help our chances slightly because we hold  
wins over both Purdue and Illinois, so those quality wins continue to  
look better, while our losses to Michigan State and Wisconsin still  
won't be considered "bad losses."

But in all likelihood, it probably doesn't matter.  We need a really  
strong showing down the stretch no matter what.
