[NU Sports] NU v. Iowa

[Eric West]

I'd say there is no margin for error at all. NU will have to win all the 
rest of its regular-season games (or else the conference tournament) to 
have a chance for the NCAA field. The Tribune had a pretty discouraging 
article about it yesterday: numbers-wise, the season doesn't measure up. 
The one thing that the 'Cats had going for them was lack of a bad loss, 
and now that's out the window as well.

Of course, some of it will depend on how all the other bubble teams fare 
in the next month, but one more loss and I think an at-large bid is off 
the table. At least, I don't think our team should plan on losing more 
games if they expect to make it.
