[NU Sports] Oh yeah....

[hakirsch at aol.com]

After years of losing to OSU in football I also thought we would never beat them, but we finally did in 04 after 33 years ! So we will sweep PSU at some point in hoops (and it will be in my lifetime, unless they pare back the schedule to 1 game)

Jeff, 

I don't thin we will ever "sweep" PSU in our lifetimes.  We never seem to beat them in hoops at all.

This is going to be a challenging season to get to 21 wins (20 didn't
get us in last year).

We've got a 13 game non con season with tough games against Baylor
(currently ranked 11/12) at home and Creighton on the road.  Let's
assume we go 12-1 (loss to Baylor).

OSU, Wisky, and UoM are all ranked in the top 25 this year.

Let's assume we lose all of those games.  

That means we can only afford to lose three more games in conference to
go 9-9 in the conference and finish the regular season at 21-10 and not
have to depend on the BT tourney to get our dance invitation.  So we
have to hold home court against  Ill,  MSU, UNL, and Purdue; beat
Indiana on the road; and sweep PSU, Minny, and Iowa.

Now that I've written it down, it certainly seems doable.  I agree that
the health of our starting 5 is key.

Jeff

Let's see what happens during the Big Ten season.  I would love to be as

sanguine as you about the NU basketball team, but this Pennsylvanian is
from 
Missouri.

I will buy long underwear and a parka in anticipation of my death.
