My Hoops Dream

O. M. G.

I just caught myself.  I've never been like this before.  I seriously can't help but wonder what is wrong with me.  Unfortunately, I don't think there is a cure.

Luckily, I don't care.

My beloved 'Cats on are on the brink.  And I KNOW what that means!

We're tied for 7th in the Big 10 Conference (which isn't so bad because there are 12 teams...and MSU has pretty much dominated and we cleaned their clocks!!)  Our RPI as of this second is 42, but our SOS has gone down to 12 from 9 (dumb MSU getting beat!!)

ESPN is forecasting us as being the last four invited into the tourney.  (oh trust me, I am knocking on a lot of wood as I speak...Huh.  Well, at least the kind of wood that is made from trees!)  Looking at potentially being 16th seeds.

We have two regular season games left.  Tomorrow night is Ohio State.  Tough one.  Except, they recently lost to MSU ( we beat them!), MI (damn we were close) and WI (soooooo, we won't really go there!).  OSU is about 50% on the road.

Iowa is Saturday afternoon.  On their court.  However, leading up to this game, Iowa has to play Nebraska. On THEIR court.  Nebraska, even though they are at the lower end of the totem pole, beat IA by 6 in their last meeting in IA.  Iowa, fortunately, is crappy on the road...only 2-10.  GO CORN PEOPLE!!!!

I'm analyzing my outfits I've worn to the home games (couch games don't count...can't wear sweats and tanks to work).  I've become overly superstitious...

And in love...

With the game of NU college hoops.
