Some were more confident than others, but the fact remains that despite a season-long five-game losing streak at the worst possible time, there's still a chance for Texas to take the Central Division title.
With that being said, it is no longer entirely up to them.
Milwaukee sits at 87 points and leads the division but only has one game left to play. They can make it to 89 points if they beat Chicago on Friday. Texas has 85 points and two games left against a non-playoff Manitoba club in Cedar Park. They can also max out at 89 points.
