Sent from my iPhone using BtownBannersI was young enough to remember people saying the Non conference SOS was an embarrassment and unacceptable. I knew it wouldn’t be an embarrassment but I also didn’t think it had a chance to be a top 50 non con schedule. It will definitely be on of IU’s strengths on its resume. Overall SOS is still projecting to be top 15 Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app HoosierAloha, jk34, HoosierDYT and 6 others 9 Quote

Uspshoosier Posted January 20, 2020 Author Posted January 20, 2020 This is how I see the B1G moving forward Locks 1. Sparty 2. Maryland Work to do in no order 3. Illinois 4. IU5. Michigan 6. Wisky 7. Iowa 8. Minny 9. Rutgers 10. Purdue 11. Penn St12. Ohio St B1G record for most bids was 8 so history tells you 4 of the teams from 3-12 are going to fall off. Possible they set a new record and get 9 or 10. Crazy to think 2 of these teams will have to play on the first day of the B1G tourney Have to win the conference tournament 13. Northwestern 14.

But at 7-13 in conference, that just won’t cut it. So they have to go 6-8 over the next 14 I would say. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app Quote

cthomas Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 The B1G tournament should be brutal this year. Could be an upset fest considering the number of teams capable of playing well. Maybe we finally get a tourney championship. Quote

Can’t see the committee leaving out three teams outside of Nebraska and Northwestern. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners I could see them leaving out three other Big Ten teams besides Nebraska and Northwestern. Minny currently sits at 10-8 (4-4) they have 6 remaining home games. If they only win those homes games they'll end up at 16-14. If they're able to get a road win that's still only 17-13 going into the BTT. They'd need to win one or two in the tourney. pu is also currently at 10-8 (3-4) they have 7 home games remaining to get to 17 wins. They would probably have to win a game or two in the BTT as well. Them winning @NW or another road game would obviously help. Penn State at 13-5 (3-4), Michigan 11-6 (2-4), and O$U 12-6 (2-5) all could miss if they don't get things headed back in the right direction soon. Is it more likely that the Big Ten gets 9-10 or 10-11? I see it as more likely at 9 with a 10th being close. Bobman1 1 Quote
RaceToTheTop Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Minnesota is my pick for the team most likely to fall off the pace. Brutal non-con, but they didn't beat anyone of note.....they beat Clemson and Oklahoma State at Minnesota, but both of those teams are 9-8 and likely to finish with losing records. Minnesota is currently sitting at 10-8 and I could see them losing their next three: at Ohio State, home to Michigan State, and at Illinois. Do that and they are 10-11 and in scramble mode. Quote
