Well at least Indiana massively under achieving is good for laughs

it's even funnier this year because they beat Kansas and UNC.......how many teams can say that they beat Kansas and UNC in a season and still under achieved?

I guess they could turn the ship around, but their last 4 games against teams with a pulse have to be concerning.

Hoosiers are done for season as far as I can tell. Crean at it again, good recruiting, but crappy coaching.

Outside of Wisconsin being the best team(probably) good luck trying to figure out this conference. Honestly might not be much separation between the 2nd best team and the 13th. Whoever the hell they are.

I have no fucking clue who is winning any of these B10 games unless Rutgers is playing. That's the best I got right now

The only thing is that Indiana may go after Alford now who wants to make them Kentucky north which is scary. I cannot stand Crean btw. People who are down tell me he is just as much of a jackass in person.

It really makes it exciting. I mean who would have ever thought IU would start out 0-2 with two HOME losses and Purdue losing at HOME to Minnesota? And hell even Michigan State winning at Minnesota was a mild upset.

For sure. There's something to be said for not having a fucking clue about what's gonna happen. Who would've though Iowa at Nebraska would be an interesting game a month ago? Yer I'm excited for it tonight lol

Nebraska vs. Iowa is a sneaky game. Nebraska being 3-0 in conference would make for a huge surprise.

The game of the day is Northwestern vs Minnesota.

Nebraska should win vs Iowa as the home team, the hotter team coming into the game and Iowa is 0-2 away from home.

Yeah I'm pretty excited about the NW game. If the Gophers pull that one off, I think we could realistically finish in the top 4 of the conference, which is something I wouldn't have even fathomed at the beginning of the season. With that said, NW is going to be a tough out. Either way, it's nice to be in the conversation after the last 3 years.

 

[rmilia1]

Yeah the NW MINNESOTA game has huge implications imo. I think the winner has a real shot at finishing high in the league.

 

[rmilia1]

The Purdue OSU game is big too. Ohio St needs a quality win and if they want a shot at a top division finish then they need to take care of home games and Purdue can't afford to fall to 1-2:if they seriously want to contend for the title

 

[Great Dayne]

Purdue better win or else Wisconsin will have no more ranked teams left team beat and build on their resume.

B1G is down this year. If Purdue loses it wouldn't surprise me to see your Badgers as the only ranked team.

 

[rmilia1]

Well that was a hell of a game

B1G is down this year. If Purdue loses it wouldn't surprise me to see your Badgers as the only ranked team.

Thankfully Purdue won by 1 point due to the missed FT by OSU. BIG is down in terms of not many elite teams at the top but they should have many tournament teams. Joe Lunardi has them with 9 teams making the tournament right now.

 

[pumpkinhead33793]

Purdue is a legit team. I could see them winning the Big Ten.

 

[rmilia1]

OSU is in trouble. 0-2 with 2 likely road losses coming up

3700!
