Putting everything else aside, these are probably the most winnable games left on the schedule outside of maybe IUPUI at home. With or without PBJ and JT, these are MUST wins.
Btw, the RMU game on Saturday morning is inexplicably on ESPNU. Not that anyone will notice in Wisconsin; the game is directly opposite UW/MU on Fox.

Are any games "winnable" at this point? I'm not so sure. |

Winnable? Yes. Any game left on the schedule is winnable. This is the Horizon League, after all. sh*t never makes sense.
Are we "likely" to win any games left is a different question.

As horribly as the team has played so far I think if we get all the starters back we are still very likely to get double digit wins, owing mostly to the weakness of the schedule of course. kenpom currently predicts that we will finish with a winning record overall at 16-15, 13-9 and in fifth place in the conference. Yeah, the HL really is that bad.
Focusing just on the two games ahead, he predicts a 78% chance of winning against YSU, and 80% against RMU.

We need the team to get healthy (especially PBJ) and we need JT on the court. I don't want petty bullsh*t limiting his time on the court and hurting his chances at an overseas career.

Wow!!! Paolo Banchero struggles with migraines and loses about seven pounds every time Duke plays! That's EXACTLY what happens to me every time WE play!!!

We Are MILWAUKEE! And I'm all about accountability, unlike '5th Placer' Jeter apologists.

Sadly, metrics don't take into account trends and intangibles such as team morale and coaching. Aka, "eye-test" things. And even with an NBA first rounder, I think we all know we won't perform anywhere near as well as his predictive algorithms suggest until we get a competent coach, hired by a competent AD. |
