The way I see it. 

 

If we split with Iowa or lose both, they are going to win the Big Ten outright.  If we win both somehow we have a real shot to win it outright but could still end up sharing it. 

 

That's possible.  I still see them slipping up somewhere.  In that scenario we would have to win all home games and all road games we should win only losing @MSU and @Iowa just to share.  I guess we'll see over the next month or so.

Watching this Maryland game kind of makes me wonder if we would be better off starting Anunoby for Hartman. I worry about Hartman trying to cover the size of Robert Carter or Swanigan, Anunoby would give us some more size to help with those match-ups.

Maryland and Iowa just keep winning. Was hoping one would trip up tonight.

Maryland with 12 blocks on the way to a narrow win.

I see Illinois tripping a top team at home. Hopefully it's against iowa Sunday and not us down the road. Maryland still has to go to purdue What would make for an awesome atmosphere if on the last game of the year the against Maryland was for the regular season title or better yet we are 1 game up going into it. I'm sure Iowa will be right there until the end

Totally agree. Hartman should come off the bench. OG plus Troy is a winning combo.

In case nobody noticed, Iowa has moved to the No. 1 overall ranking at kenpom.com today

If everything holds then next Thursday is going to feel like that Michigan home game in 2013. Too bad not on a Saturday for possible Game Fay coverage

Not surprising at all. The line between them and Oklahoma is razor thin and Oklahoma's defense is not great, so teams like TCU hang around and score 72 while Iowa shuts down teams like Penn State. Plus, Iowa just has more big wins than Oklahoma even has a chance to collect. The sweep of MSU and Purdue is better than any four wins of Oklahoma's.

 

Iowa is carried by Uthoff though, I hope the team studies the Maryland tape to see how to shut him down. We stop Uthoff, we stop Iowa.

Tonights games on ESPN are kind of underwhelming. OSU-Wisconsin (meh), Memphis-UCONN (double meh), and Utah-Oregon State, I actually really want to watch Poetl and Payton so I'm kind of excited for this one

So Skal might be one of the most overrated recruits ever. Everyone knew he couldn't do anything offensively, but Kentucky is so guard heavy on offense anyways. But for a guy with his measurements and athletic ability he is one of the worst rebounders I've ever seen play the game. He isn't nearly the impact player on the defensive end either. I mean he is still going to be a lottery pick, but man, like he might never be even a good starter in the NBA

Even UK fans are saying this. He was supposed to be right there behind Simmons. He is not even on the same page as Simmons.

Simmons? Skal isn't even in the same conversation as Bryant, Stone and Swanigan.

All Vic had to do was make that dunk.

AND...right on cue, I give you the Rupp's Rafters "It's the referees fault" thread for their train wreck of a Tuesday loss to a 10-11 Tennessee team.

Enjoy!!

Nothing better when one inbred calls another Einstein. The irony

Heard some rumors gameday is coming for the Maryland game

My body is ready. (My liver, however.......)

Wonder if there is a chance they come for Purdue?

I asked about Purdue first and that's when I heard about Maryland. Not saying anything is definite, just what I've heard.

it will all depend on how each team is playing at the time. Game day doesn't announce where they are going until the Saturday before. If we are both highly ranked then I could defiantly see them coming for that game but if one of us is not playing well and 2 other highly ranked teams are playing great they will go to the other place. 3 times Jay Williams leaked where game day was heading early on social media last year. So far this year he hasn't gave it away
