I was curious about purdoodoo's "easy" road to a Big 1.o regular season conference championship so I did some digging.

Head to head: 2-0 (IU)

Same opponent, same location: 8-3 (pu) - 6-5 (IU)
Teams: Iowa, @Maryland, @Michigan, @Northwestern, Michigan State x2, Rutger, @Penn State, Nebraska, Ohio State, @Minny

Combining these two categories and we're tied with purdoodoo at 8-5.
They have Illinois at home as the last remaining same opponent, same location data point. We won that game. At best, pu can tie us at 9-5 against same opponent, same location.

Same opponent, different location: 6-0 (pu) - 2-3 (IU)
pu: Maryland, Penn State, @Wiscy, @Nebraska, @Ohio State, Minny
IU: @Iowa, @Illinois, Northwestern, @Rutger, Wiscy

Purdoodoo feasted in the same opponent, different location category going 6-0. Two of these wins came against the bottom dwellers OSU and Minny who were circling the drain for much of the Big 1.o season. Only 1 of their unique games came against a team with an above .500 record in Big 1.o play while 5 of our 6 will come against teams with a better than .500 conference record.

Conclusion:
I believe we could have at least tied purdoodoo, with a real possibility of winning it outright, given the same schedule. Such is life in the Big 1.o, we still could have pushed for a conference crown had we not shat all over ourselves for that three game stretch or curled into the fetal position on several other occasions.

7-9 from 3.   Isu up 13 with 12:50 to go 

[Hovadipo 53,696]

Don’t let the Sycamores get hot. They’ll hang 100 in a hurry.

I was thinking about those Cloverdale teams again today. Jalen Moore averaged about 20-4-6 at Oakland this year.

They will give up 101 just as fast though.   Been the problem all year

Yup. This is my fault lol. Can’t stop a nosebleed. 

[Uspshoosier 44,654]

This is insane.    Neese with another 3 to put Isu up 2.   1:08 to go Belmont ball.

Love seeing teams being able to shoot the ball and actually score a lot of points

I tune into Ball St for the first time this season and the first official I see is Larry Scirotto. Dude is everywhere.

Lewis is giving him an earful right now. Scirotto just called a blocking foul on BSU that should have been a no-call and just watched a Toledo player pack a suitcase on his way to a layup. 

[Chris007 42,952]

Is the Toledo coach due to get a better job this offseason?

So, a B1G crew still sucks at officiating in the MAC?

[Ryno6284 2,539]

Does anyone know what will happen in the B1G regular season schedule when 2 more teams join?  Because I hate not playing every team twice, like we do now!
