[NU Sports] In need of a basketball expert

[Charles Herron]

Sirs,

I am greatly in need of a basketball expert.  We are currently 6-0, with 6 more non-conference games to go.  Is it safe to assume 4-2 (losses to Baylor and Creighton), or 10-2 heading in to Big Ten play ?

We then have 18 Big Ten games.  We miss Wisconsin and Indiana in Evanston, and we miss Nebraska and Michigan State on the road.

What is our minimum conference mark to go with 10-2 in order to make the NCAA tournament ?  Is that conference mark even likely/possible ?

I.e. is 10-8 conference after 10-2 n-c, meaning 20-10, even sufficient ?  Can we do 10-8 ?

Thanks for any enlightenment.
