Its been a couple days since the latest UW basketball meltdown, so I think I am safe to make some rational thoughts.
Though most people are saying the Badgers are safely in the tournament...barring a Senior Day disaster against Indiana...I am not sleeping easily yet. Then again, we are not sleeping much at all these days since Matthew has decided that he doesn't need to sleep through the night anymore!
Here is why:
They have a decent RPI and SOS, but they have no real good wins. They are 3-9 against the RPI top 50 (depending on who's RPI you look at), 6-8 in road/neutral games, and 6-6 in their last 12. Not very strong numbers.
Thankfully the rest of the bubble is playing their way off it as well. They need at least 2 wins, and a 3rd against MSU or Purdue would be really nice.
All in all, it is very disappointing to lose to Marquette, Michigan State, and Minnesota twice in the same season.
