I say 5. which would give us a 11-7 BIG record. I don't see how they can keep out a team that finishes in the top half of the BIG as long as we are not one & done in the BIG tourney. The BIG has  3 or 4 of the best teams in the country, Maryland, MSU, Iowa and Indiana. We have to win the games we are supposed to against Northwestern, Braska and Rutgers. Then we need 2 more wins out of the remaining schedule. our best chance for those wins are SCum and msu @ home imo. who knows maybe we can catch Iowa sleep walking @ home in Columbus or win @ msu. matta's teams have beaten msu in EL before when msu was clearly the better team. this is the time of the year when teams should be playing their best basketball.
