Few weeks back I mentioned our next 22(ish) games were against Q1 & Q2 teams. I think we were around 13th in RPI at that time...
3-0 v Northwestern Q2 (now Q3)
0-1 v @ Pickle Smoochers (Q1)
2-1 v Ohio State (Q2)
0-1 v @ Kansas (Q2)
1-2 v @ Rutgers (Q1)
0-1 v Pickle Smoochers (Q2)
2-1 v Maryland (Q2)
0-1 v Kansas (Q2) (now Q3)
3 games v Cockeye, but not sure if they'll be a Q2 or Q3. Regardless, a series win is so damn important.
1 game v Pickle Smoochers Q1
1 game v Kansas State Q2
5-7 (8-8) with 3 TBD in this stretch isn't as bad as it seems. Not ideal at all as our RPI is now 22 (post home loss to Kansas). Hosting a Regional looks unlikely unless we make a ridiculous run but we're really no different than ever other projected 2 seed at this point in the season.
After the Kansas State game, we finish with:
Minnesota Q3 x3 (away)
South Dakota State Q4 x1
Indiana Q3 x3 (home)
Michigan State Q2 x3 (away)
Then, the B1G tournament...
