[NU Sports] NU v. Iowa

[Tom Maycock]

There was an article in the Trib yesterday that painted a very grim picture of the Wildcat's chances (and apparently the 'Cats were aware of that story, although it didn't seem to help). If that picture was accurate, I would think the big dance chances are very, very slim at this point. 

The big problem is that those early non-conference wins just aren't holding up as well as we would like, as some of our "big" non-con opponents are not faring well. 

Winning out including a win over Wisconsin might do it, but that seems pretty unlikely. This is a good team, but not a great team. 

Fortunately, there's always the possibility of winning the Big Ten tournament. Not likely, but not out of the question, particularly if we get some help from another mid-pack team knocking off one of the top dogs, making our path easier. 

Still, an awful lot to play for this year--could still go down as one of the best NU seasons ever.
