Big Ten Basketball

There certainly appears to be teams more impacted by the lack of fans. MSU, Indiana, Rutgers, MD are all really tough to beat at home generally but this year not so much

I think rutgers is the one that sticks out to me. They should in theory be better than they were last season, bringing everyone back and adding a top 50 FR prospect. I just don't think MSU, IU and MD are all that good this year. They all have a little jekyll and hyde.

Minnesota has a great strategy today against UM. They are doubling UM's big. More teams should do that.
Minnesota is playing much better defense than the first game against UM

Despite there being no fans, we are a completely different team at home than on the road, which makes no sense whatsoever, other than probably just overall comfort level.
 
Ohio state with a big win for their tourney hopes

This question has two answers from me. I do think they are for real, in that they are a for sure threat to make the FF, and be a top 5/8ish team all season.

With that said, I don't think they are good enough to beat the likes of Gonzaga, Baylor, and I'll even throw in Villanova as well. And probably Iowa, based on what I've seen so far. Now I do think they can get better since their most important player IMO is thier FR big, so if he gets better over the season, that gap will decrease to me.

They have benefited some because of schedule, with only playing 2 true road games with one of them being at Nebraska, so they should be about where they are record wise. But they have looked great the last 3 games. I suspect they'll take on probably 5/6 losses in B1G play. I think Minnesota beats them next game out tbh.

Boom.
 
Good win for Minnesota. Appreciate the help although I'm still mad we gave away the game in Christmas to you all lol
 
Also so is Illinois just not very good or what's the deal there? Very weird
 
MN 5-4 in toughest part of their schedule, and probably toughest stretch all of B1g, I'll take it
 
Good road win. Offende looked great. D played well the last 30 or so . Probably won't end up a Q1 but there's a shot it does
 
Purdue really seems to be coming together. They'll be a tough out in March
 
Really interested in the games tonight. OSU and Purdue are 2 of the hottest teams in the league and it'll be fun to see how Michigan responds to their first loss . I got OSU close and MI bigly

Looking good on these calls so far.
 
Ohio State doing what theyve done all year and either blowing or almost blowing the game with a run of awful play later in the 2nd half.
 
Yep another game completely given away with a shit sandwich of a last few minutes. Just like the first Northwestern game. This team is so frustrating.
 
That was a gut punch loss. Now no doubt we get murdered @ Wisconsin on Saturday.

We still have to play every top team in the conference so it wont be shocking if we end up actually missing the tournament in the end. And they can look back at this game was a big reason.

You'll be fine with 4/5 more wins.

There really are no gimmies especially with this team. Wouldnt be shocked to see them go something like 3-7 in the remaining 10 games.

There aren't any gimmies, but osu is still a good team. I'd be shocked if you only managed 3 more wins. Msu, IU and @psu should be 3 wins right there. Just need one more to feel comfortable.
