I think they're a tournament team, and history is on our side. Since the tournament started, there have been 306 teams to win 13 or more conference games. Just 2 of those teams (Washington and Oregon, 2011-12) didn't make the tournament. That year, the Pac-12 was 10th in conference RPI. The Big Ten is 6th in conference RPI. The Pac-12 sent two teams to the tournament that year.
13 conference wins is built on a very weak conference schedule and only playing other top teams once. We have a pretty mid major SOS and only 1 quality win and 1 bad loss. We need to beat Michigan and Michigan State to have a chance IMO
