Texas is putting on a show at Kansas.  Defense is impressive as hell.  They’re just so long and aggressive.

Puts our loss in a whole new perspective IMO. Still wasn't happy with our performance, but Texas is very good.

Potential implications for IUBB.  A Wisconsin beat writer received a tip #Badgers hoops at PSU might not be played Sunday.  We just played PSU on Wednesday and supposed to play Wisky on the 7th.  If it's a COVID problem I hope it's with the Badgers.

 

Now official.  The Wisconsin-Penn State game scheduled for tomorrow is being postponed, per release. The decision was “mutually agreed upon by both teams due to health and safety concerns.”

Oklahoma St wins it in OT at Texas Tech 

heck of a game

Purdue on a 15-0 run and are now up 2 on Illinois with 17 min to go.  Rough start to the second half for the Illini

Michigan St had a lot of trouble with Nebraska.

Turns out us playing them twice is a positive!

They actually got it up to 19-0 and still managed to lose by 8.

Another player stepping away.

Houston guard Caleb Mills is stepping away from the program "for personal reasons" and will not play tonight at SMU. There is no timetable for his return, but Kelvin Sampson said in a statement that Mills "needs time to refresh and prepare for the remainder of the season."

He certainly was never going to be a squared away college kid. Probably better off for him that he get overseas and try to salvage a few years of a pro career.

And put as much distance as possible between he and momma.

Seeing some separation from the best, the better, and the others. Great conference. Indiana will be lucky to finish 7-8th. 9-11th seems much more likely.

Seems like Iowa, Illinois, Rutgers, Wisconsin, and Michigan are the front runners in the B1G.

Nebraska is the surest thing in the conference—they are awful and the only team in a tier by themselves.

Sounds crazy, but a few weeks in I believe that every other team could finish as high as sixth and as low as 13th.

Caveat: if Garza or Cockburn gets injured Iowa (especially) and Illinois (slightly less so) would fall a lot. Rutgers, Wisconsin and Michigan are much less dependent on any individual player than Iowa or Illinois.

Do current plans still call for 65/65 teams?
