I live bet Indiana early and I cannot believe they arenā€™t going to win this game.

When they were down big, that probably wasnā€™t a bad bet. TJD didnā€™t have more than 10 points before they made their run.

Canā€™t believe that Galloway isnā€™t in for Indiana. Heā€™s been big for them tonight.

Itā€™s Christmas Eve and Northwestern is in sole possession of first place in the Big 10. We all knew it was coming

I feel like every day we go further into B1G play right now the less I feel confident in what any team is. At this point it seems life every team but Nebraska and Maryland are tough outs, on the road or at home. I didnā€™t get to watch either of the games after OSU-Rutgers but it sounds like NW looked good/that was a good game.

I both hate and love how deep this conference is

Yes, including Michigan. I think I can assert that weā€™re likely to make the tournament, but I could see us being anywhere from near the top of the conference to the lower part of some bulging middle tier. It really does look like a matter, as everyone is saying, of whether Franz stretches the floor and offers another playmaking option.

Michigan -8 @ Nebraska
Wisconsin -1.5 @ MSU
Iowa -7 @ Minnesota
Maryland @ Purdue -5.5

Who yā€™all got in the B1G Christmas extravaganza?

Watching Minny get smacked by Illinois itā€™s hard not to salivate at that line and take Iowa. They did beat a good St. Louis team right after though.

Iā€™ll go Nebraska +8, Wisc -1.5, and Iowa -7

Mich -8
Wisc -1.5
Iowa -7
Mary +5.5

Thereā€™s literally no decent sports to watch today. The Big 10 would have been better off loading up Xmas Eve instead of competing with the NFL and NBA tomorrow.

Itā€™s funny. I actually find these conferences games more interesting without the home/away dynamic. It just seemed so difficult for away teams to win in certain buildings with the way the refs got caught up in the crowdā€™s emotion. I like the neutral court atmosphere. I donā€™t have to worry about Ohio Basketball Hall of Fame member, Terry Wymer, creating a 3-on-2 by filling the lane on a Nebraska fast break tomorrow in Lincoln.

small sample sizes and all, but through 11 games home teams are 8-3 which is a higher winning percentage than last season in conference play
