Are we going dancing this year? Is it yet another season of disappointment filling out yet another March Maddness bracket without our beloved Buckeyes seaded anywhere? What's it going to take to get us there?

My 2 cents is I can't yet tell if the glass is half full or empty. There is enough talent to at a bare minimum keep us ingaged at hold out some glimmer of hope. I'm predicting an 18-13 or 19-12 finish meaning, most likely, either way needing a couple wins in the B1G Tournament to put us over the top.

Must win Games:

Grambling

At Rutgers (Power Index 127)

Minnesota (PI 77)

Penn State (PI 111)

At Penn State (PI 111)

Should win games:

At Oregon (Power Index 65)

At Washington (PI 58)

At Maryland (PI 66)

USC (PI 48)

Wisconsin (38)

Could go either way games:

At Wisconsin (Power Index 38)

Virginia (Power Index 41)

At Iowa (PI 30)

Tall order games:

Nebraska (Power Index 27)

UCLA (PI 21)

Indiana (PI 19)

Not looking good for us on paper games:

At Meatchicken (Power Index 3)

scUM (PI 3)

At MSU (PI 20)

Purdue (PI 8)

Ultimately I think we're going to need better bench minutes and points. We're going to need more consistent 3 point shooting. Also we really need Tilley to step up and play consistently like a B1G big man.
