Wisconsin emerging pretty much as the class of the Big Ten by a wide margin. Who will compete with them at the top?
I honestly donāt think anyone will. If they beat Purdue later this week I see them absolutely running away with the conference by perhaps even 4+ games.
There is a long way to go.
And what are we thinking of Minnesota?
They look good but should have beaten Sparty. I fear that Izzo will have Sparty where he always does come March- in the Sweet Sixteen-- while we will be struggling to just make the tourney again.
Minnesota looks more athletic than last year, but Iām interested to see how the freshmen ā especially Coffey ā hold up after 3-4-5 straight weeks of B1G grind. I wouldnāt be surprised to see Gophers flirt with .500 in conference play? Maybe finish a win or two just shy?
Really curious about tonightās Big Ten gamesā¦
Purdue at OSU
Iowa at Nebraska
Minnesota at Northwestern
OSU needs a W, Purdue just dropped a home game to Minnesota, can Iowa win on the road? Is Nebraska for real? Are Minnesota and Northwestern potential tourney teams? Lotās to play for tonight.
I think NāWestern may be a tourney team this year. They easily could have won the two nonconference games they lost, which both would have been impressive wins. Butler beat them on a buzzer beater and they completely collapsed in the last two or three minutes against ND after they had a lead.
Big win for Purdue at Ohio State. Needed it after dropping one at home to Minnesota. Buckeyes are 0-2 and have @Minny, @Wisconsin and MSU at home coming up. Tough spot.
10-8 overall would look reallll nice on OSU. Crazy that only 5 teams in the conference have less than 5 losses right now. Gonna be a lot of bubble teams come March
Tai Webster and Glynn Watson can go. Fun to watch. Both playing great against Iowa, but this one is close near half time.
More bad news for OSU
This Nebraska/Iowa ending has been insane. Hawkeyes in another overtime game.
Iām having a really hard time distinguishing if these teams are good or not based on this game
Bohannon is going to be a very annoying player for four years in the big ten. Seems like he has a little bit of that Aaron craft attitude but he can actually shoot it.
LOL. Iowa is getting a tough whistleā¦ Webster has been draped all over Jok with 4 fouls.
Fun game to watch.
Yea this isnāt a game any of these officials will want on their highlight reels
Northwestern with another tough close loss. 3 of their 4 I really felt they should have/could have won. I sure hope they make the NCAA Tourney
Love Tim miles heās doing a nice job right now. Happy for him heās a great guy
