A road win at Creighton would be huge. I actually think just getting 1 of Iowa and Creighton lets our imaginations run wild. That said, I'm just so dang happy with how this season has gone already, and how the team is playing, I have a hard time explaining to people why.
I have a bunch of friends who are getting together for the Iowa/Michigan game on Saturday. I asked if they would have another TV I could watch the Creighton game on since they are basically happening at the same time, and you could tell they kind of was thinking I was crazy.
But I love this group because for one, they have vastly exceeded my expectations, not only with the winning but the cohesiveness and effort they have played with. Basketball is my favorite sport. Last year about broke me and these guys have brought all of that excitement back for me. I'm checking Bart Torvik, Kenpom, and Sports Reference like a lunatic. I'm looking at the record book for freshman records regarding Tyrese. I'm doing all of these things I basically stopped doing for 2 years.
If they get either of Iowa or Creighton this team likely goes 12-1 in the noncon. That's probably our best noncon mark in a long time. If they just go 8-10 in conference, which should be doable, they are at 20 wins. I don't know if that gets to the tourney but it's literally double the number of games I thought they'd win this year.
