This will be good to track throughout the season, but I want to call out for others that RPI is absolutely worthless right now. The top five teams currrently are Providence, Grand Canyon, UIC, Notre Dame, and South Dakota State. Just didn't want others to get their hopes up based on this RPI conference ranking!

[kleitus]

... we know.  I was mostly giving the tracker and a very slight woohoo lol

OSU's win over Cincy helps.  Need good showings next week, Holiday tourneys, and the ACC challenge.

[hskr4life]

Another 4-0 day for the Big 10.  So far, no bad losses.  15-1 with our only loss as a neutral to KU.  One decent road win at Cincy.

Purdue now in a tight battle with Ball State at half. Purdue up 42-41. In just three minutes of viewing this game, I was reminded that Matt Haarms is easily the most hateable player in the Big 10. Looks like he's improved his game on the offensive end, but goodness...the kid is absolutely obnoxious. I generally like guys who play with heart, but he's out of control. Wild and dangerous fist pumping, trash talking, excruciatingly painful to watch.

Hope he gets the Haas treatment and receives a good ole does of Copeland's lower half in his face and a ball bouncing off of his head after a dunk.

The Big Ten has five games today versus poor opponents, but using Bart Torvik's projected win probabilities, there is a 28% chance one of them loses. Let's hope it's not us!

 

158 Florida Gulf Coast at 10 Michigan St.

225 Green Bay at 40 Iowa

222 Fort Wayne at 51 Ohio St.

238 Southeastern Louisiana at 31 Nebraska

245 Drexel at 101 Rutgers

[hskr4life]

Big day for the Big 10.  Will have multiple games against Power 6 competition.

 

Michigan OVER Providence 

Ohio State Vs. SCST 

Indiana Vs. Arkansas  

Maryland Vs. Mt St Marys 

Michigan St. Vs Tenn Tech 

Purdue Vs Va Tech

Minnesota Vs Texas A&M

Indiana looks rather average today.

[hskr4life]

Romeo may be good, but he doesn't always play the hardest.  Where we will beat Indiana is with our D.  

[hskr4life]

Indiana really struggled.  They are talented, but they are going to have to learn that they cannot win on talent alone in this league.  They'll get eaten up if they don't.

[atskooc]

They were missing two starters, weren’t they?

Missing starters?  Pffft.  Ken Pomeroy doesn't care.

[tcp]

Terps also win. Hoosiers already mocked, so I don't have to do that. 

 

Big game is that Purdue game. Rodents game also a solid entry.

While this is true, I was more commenting on previous posters saying Indiana didn’t look very good. 

 

Losing by a point at Arkansas (who rarely loses at home) with two starters (and two reserves) out? I suspect teams have performed a lot worse than that in the past.

I was honestly expecting more out of a team that did have Romeo and Morgan.  I didn't think they looked very good.  Romeo, as noted, didn't play very hard in my eyes.  It doesn't take a few guys who are injured to get you to play harder.  They are probably better than what they showed today, but today wasn't good.
