But in that 3 of 4 losses they have a blowout win over a GREAT team, so I think that balances out.

This is all very ironic coming from the guy whose team recently scraped by Northwestern twice, MSU, and got booty blasted by Purdue twice and Maryland.
We probably lose tonight so you will get the latest laugh.
I think your week determines the B1G winner. Two tough roadies. After that you should be fine. Go 2-0 this week and it's yours outright. 1-1 leaves the door open. 0-2 and it's a free for all.
Much like the IU/PU week we had recently, I will simply take 1-1.

Alright, Illinois is on the clock.
You gonna be the next in line to get mud holed at the RAC?
I got $20 on you guys winning that says you're taking an L tonight.
Good luck!!

7PM Illinois at Rutgers
9PM Purdue at Northwestern
I feel like at about 11 tonight, we'll have a much better idea of who wins the B1G. I could see any outcome with these games.

- Can "The RAC" claim another victim or will Illinois continue their run to a B1G title?
- Will Purdue get out of it's funk and play like a top 5 team or will NW win for the 4th time in 5 games?
Big Ten has two former players in the top 50 of the NBA....Bridges and Green.
No wonder this league never wins national titles. Hardly any top talent comes here anymore.
Arkansas, Texas, Alabama and LSU all have 2 five star recruits for next year.

Yep. Not sure how the B1G gets past the perception that it's a slow plodding physical league. Looking at KenPom, only Nebraska (10) and Iowa (48) are among the top 140 in tempo and the B1G is currently the 23rd ranked conference in that stat. And the 2 slowest are led by 1st year coaches (Minny and PSU).Big Ten has two former players in the top 50 of the NBA....Bridges and Green.

Oh no, Illinois lost twice to Purdue and lost to Maryland without Kofi.
What ever will we do.
Quite the revisionist's history. Lost to Maryland without Kofi. Destroyed you and Indiana in that timeframe. Scraped by MSU without Kofi and Curbelo. Not quite the same.
I think it'll be clearer after this weekend's game. Or not. Guessing it still comes down to the last game or two.
Credit to UW's defense and all, but the last two IU attempts from three were possibly the worst things I have ever seen.
Let's not give him a preemptive laugh for no reason while we are ahead of them (and everyone else) in the standings and won the only matchup of the season, lol.
I thought they were works of art personally. The arc of the ball, the beautiful clanking sound off the back board.

So basically more top recruits need to start going to Iowa so that the Big Ten can finally be represented in/win a national championship?
That's what those stats are telling me.......
Can I use this argument later in the season if Wisconsin gets a share?lopsided schedules.
Asking for reasons unknown.
Sure, but we played PU twice, MSU twice, OSU twice, Rutgers twice and ILL once on the road. Not sure you'll have a leg to stand on there.
What the **** is Frantrum going to do w/ more talent? Lose even prettier?
Their schedule was heavily backloaded, that's why I wasn't worried about having to compete with them for the conference title. Honestly thought OSU and Wisky would be switched in conf standings, but Davis has been outstanding for them.
If Wisky gets a share they'll have earned it, because you would have to sweep Purdue to do so (IMO).
I thought we were going to finish 10th but I guess that ship has sailed. ****ing obama.
It's kind of bullshit if you think about it. If you win, it's a great win beating Rutgers at the rac, but they are still first four out in bracketology so it won't be considered a good win by the metrics. If you lose, it's a completely understandable loss to humans who know how hard it is to win there, but metrics will consider it a bad loss. Damn computers.
