Looking at those match-ups I'd say your only real B1G locks are Minnesota and Michigan St. Let's say Purdue and Nebraska are 50/50 at home,  Northwestern, Iowa and Illinois all on the road I think are iffy at best. Indiana is going to get beat like a narc at a biker rally.

Wake is a bad basketball team. Illinois should be able to go in there and win. Georgia Tech hasn't exactly been good this year. Despite NW's struggles, that's winnable for them. Purdue and Nebraska should both be able to win those games at home, I don't think either one is a 50/50 proposition. I don't like the match-ups for Maryland, Wisconsin, Penn St., or Ohio St.

[Handy Johnson]

I think Michigan's in trouble too... was hoping Creighton would come into our match-up undefeated but Baylor took care of that.

[hskr4life]

Have to protect the home court.

 

If we can win every game at home (except KU) which I think we **COULD** do, then that will put us at 18 wins.  

 

Protecting the home court is huge!

[Chuck Taylor]

We have yet to beat anyone with a KenPom rating under 200. BC is currently 92. It's hard to see this season going anywhere if we don't beat BC at home.

[throwback]

Syracuse up late first half over Maryland, 32-25

 

Orange were a 3-pt home favorite over the Terps

Virginia is a 7-pt home favorite over Wisky later tonight

[hskr4life]

This Cuse Maryland game is awesome.

[throwback]

Yeah, great game, Huerter was unconscious, but SU hangs on, 72-70. I half expected him to throw in the 85-footer at the buzzer the way he was going.

[hskr4life]

Definitely one we will need to watch in our games with them.

This is what happens when the slowest team in Div 1 meets one of the slowest teams in Div 1 and both combine to shoot for 17% from 3.

[throwback]

Yeah, ESPN may not have completely thought through the ramifications of putting those two together.

Well, no one probably anticipated 17% from the land of treys. Oops.

 

[49r]

Wisco got a layup, IIRC, with less than a minute left in the first half to finally hit 20 points.

 

I decided that I'd had enough college basketball for the night at that point.

[Dead Dog Alley]

If Wisconsin makes the NCAA Tournament this year, then Greg Gard is the greatest coach in the history of the game.

That 37 Wisconsin scored at Virginia, I wonder if NU had broken 30 at UVa with how it's been at times away from the Vault. Gulp.

 

[hskr4life]

Northwestern with 2 points 6 minutes into the game......

[Chuck Taylor]

Rutgers down 1 against Fla State at the half. Pikiell can coach.

[hskr4life]

Looking like Big 10 might be 0-4..... yikes!

[Red Don]

NW just made a clutch put back & the lead 51-50 over Ga Tech, with 7.1 sec left.

Ga Tech wins it at the Horn, 52-51. with a last sec drive to the basket.

[hskr4life]

OHHHH GA TECH... OHHH and 3 Big 10.
