6 games left, does 4-2 in those 6 get the Irish in? Or do they need to go 5-1, making tonight a virtual must win?
4-2 should be good, provided the Irish don't have an embarrassing BET (very possible).
Must win one of the next two. Winning both games will help out a lot and give a little breathing room the rest of the year.
