Not a huge fan of playing conference games this early - if the B1G wants to play its tournament in MSG, maybe they should've waited until they could force the current tenant to leave for a year so we could play the B1G tourney at the normal time. Or maybe we should play the B1G-BE challenge to see who gets MSG the following year.

 

Then again, if NU has success versus MSU and/or Minny, I promise to become a big fan of this type of schedule. 

 

In case you want to binge watch some B1G hoops this weekend:

 

Friday, Dec. 1

6 pm – Purdue at Maryland – BTN

8 pm – Illinois at Northwestern – BTN

 

Saturday, Dec. 2

11:30 am – Indiana at Michigan – CBS

4 pm – Ohio St at Wisconsin – FOX

4 pm – Penn St at Iowa – BTN

 

Sunday, Dec. 3

3 pm – Northwestern at Purdue – BTN

3:30 pm – Nebraska at Michigan St – FS1

5 pm – Rutgers at Minnesota – BTN

7 pm – Maryland at Illinois – BTN

 

Monday, Dec. 4

5:30 pm – Michigan at Ohio St – FS1

6 pm – Wisconsin at Penn St – ESPN2

7 pm – Iowa at Indiana – BTN

 

Tuesday, Dec. 5

6 pm – Michigan St at Rutgers, BTN

8 pm – Minnesota at Nebraska, BTN

This would be fun... kind of like the All-Star game used to get you home field advantage.

 

Probably won't happen though.

Okay I don't like to look at the future too much and think too much or whine... well I do whine some... but how come we be the only team that has to play two teamsin the opening week where the other teams are the best 2 in the conference?

 

Like Iowa gets PSU and Indiana

Purdue gets Maryland and Northwestern

 

At least we get two of our harder games over early.

I think they took the two supposed "best" teams and the two supposed "worst" and put them together to get those match ups out of the way early.

 

We get @MSU and home against Minnesota.

 

Rutgers gets @Minny and home against MSU.

What'll really be a hoot is when Nebraska is 2-0, Rutgers is 1-1, Minny is 1-1 and MSU is 0-2.

 

Way to go Big 10... you scheduled the the two teams with the most to prove against what the two best teams perceived as cupcakes.

Illinois-NW was a game nobody wanted to win. NW somehow turned the ball over on its final 4 possessions in regulation and still got to overtime. But they're 1-0 so I guess that's all that matters.

 

Today's point spreads

 

Indiana at Michigan -7.5

Ohio St at Wisconsin -8.5

Penn St -3 at Iowa 

 

That last one seems a little odd to me, but Iowa hasn't been very good so far.

 

Also just throw this in here - Craig Smith's Coyotes are a 22 pt dog at Duke today.

Road teams 3-2 on the opening weekend so far, and a 4th (Illinois) probably should have won.

 

Let's hope the road teams keep rolling until Tuesday!

 

Sunday's pt spreads

 

NW at Purdue -13

Nebraska at MSU -19.5

Rutgers at Minny -13.5

Maryland -2.5 at Illinois

 

 

Interesting that Rutgers has a tighter point spread than NU on Sunday....
