From down 17 to winning in OT, that's quite a statement. Oregon 77-73 over Wisc.

 

Reminded me of the prior 2 seasons in which Nebraska downed Wisc. in Lincoln

Just goes to show how unpredictable play in the Big18 is this year. And now Minnesota is kicking Penn State's butt, though it is only in the first half.

There are no bad teams in the Big Ten. That's pretty amazing, actually.

 

The ACC has Miami (2-13, 6-20) and only nine teams over .500 in all games.

The Big XII is pretty strong, but Colorado (1-14, 10-16) sucks serious hind teat.

The Big East still has DePaul (2-14, 11-16) and Seton Hall (2-13, 7-19) has struggled mightily.

Hell, even the SEC has South Carolina (0-13, 10-16).

The last-place Big Ten team right now is Washington (4-11, 13-13). Rutgers (6-10, 13-14) is the only squad with a losing overall record.

Not a Husker opponent, but UNO clinched at least a share of the Summit title last night for the first time - can win it outright with one more win in a game they'll be heavily favored at home. 

If they win the regular season title outright, they get 2 chances to make the NCAA tourney - win the Summit tourney themselves or have second-place St. Thomas win the Summit tourney - The Tommies are ineligible for the NCAA tourney while they transition to D-1 , so UNO would go as the regular season champ. 

 

If they go, UNO is right on the edge of being one of the four lowest 16 seeds - as a bottom four seed, they'd be in Dayton & give them a roughly 50/50 shot at winning a game. I think they'll be seeded a little too high to end up in Dayton if they make the NCAAs, but if, say, they get upset in the Summit quarters and St. Thomas wins the whole thing, UNO could drop into one of those last four 16 seeds.

Saw during the Wisky-UO game yesterday that the last time every B1G team won at least 5 conference games was 2014. Could happen again this year, although we're playing 20 games now instead of 18 -- and there are a few more teams.

Hard to believe PU ever finished last with Painter in charge ... but it's actually happened twice in his time there.

Crazy game in Bloomington today. Purdue goes on 21-4 run to end the first half ahead 37-25. Then Indiana starts the 2nd half on a 28-3 run! Hoosiers win 73-58 over their rivals.

Pretty much sums up the Big Ten this year
