4th Quarter of the Season

[Kilroy 271]

Current Standings at the top:

 

IU - 11-3

IOWA - 11-3

Maryland - 10-3

 

IU has Purdue, @ill, @Iowa, and Maryland remaining. Should always win at home and should beat Ill and finish 14-4.

 

Iowa has Wisc, @OSU, Indiana, @Michigan. Iowa can and should win out. Need another surprise like the PSU game, otherwise finish 15-3 and win the B1G.

 

Maryland has @Minn, Michigan, @Purdue, Ill, and @Indiana. Would expect loses to Purdue and IU and finish 13-5. 

 

Should be an amazing finish the conference schedule, need to hold serve and hope for an upset or two to win.

If we hold serve at home and beat Illinois we are guaranteed a share I think. No way Iowa wins out.

[Bryan Medema 1,488]

Assuming we win the next two, how intense will the Iowa game be?

[Walking Boot of Doom 18,170]

Beat Iowa and Maryland, and Iowa loses one game, and the B1G Title is Indiana's. Predicting the upset of Iowa at Michigan.

[Kilroy 271]

If we hold serve at home and beat Illinois we are guaranteed a share I think. No way Iowa wins out.

 

Iowa has 4 tough games remaining, but should be favored in each.

IU has 3 tough games remaining, but won't be favored in at least one. 

Maryland has 4 tough games remaining, and won't be favored in probably two.

 

My money is still on Iowa at this point. Beat PU and Illinois and that game at Iowa will be intense.

I say Iowa loses to Wisconsin and also loses a nail biter at Michigan. I think that if we rebound exceptionally well and control turnovers, we also take Iowa by 7-10 pts. I think Trimble carves us up like a thanksgiving ham and we finish in a possible three-way tie with UM and Sconnie. Much depends on how Wisky plays tonight. They lose, we share w/UM. They win.....We could all be screwed.

IMO, if we go 3-1, we win the B1G. Wow. MSU has 5 losses right?

Thanks for playing "Maryland Eastern Shore" so we can't get the charts to line-up Maryland.

I don't think that's truly taking into account how Iowa has struggled lately don't see them winning out

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,969]

My prediction. All 3 teams lose 2 more. 13-5 split B1G.

[Alford Bailey 12,355]

I think Iowa "should "lose 2 more. Question to me is can IU keep from losing 2 more? Do what we are supposed to (Win at home and Beat a bad Allanoy team) and its ours.

[chitown hoosier 743]

Next game against Purdue is crucial for IU hopes of winning the b1g. Gotta protect home court. I don't like the match ups either but whenever I have liked match ups, they lost.

[Trish 11,506]

i still have us going 12-6. hope they don't, but Purdue, @Iowa, @Illinois, Maryland ( Senior Night) are all challenging. 

 

Iowa will be the hardest.

 

Purdue will be interesting with their big guys.

 

we always seem to struggle at illinois 

 

i feel like we never win on senior night for some reason.

 

 

should be a fun few weeks. 

[HoosierAloha 30,024]

I have Iowa losing @O$U.  O$U is playing really well and could possibly pull off a run to the tourney. 

 

I have Maryland losing at pu and IU.

 

I have IU going anywhere from 4-0 to 0-4....  I believe 3-1 is quite possible with the only loss coming @Iowa.

[mdn82 25,510]

This. I still have Maryland.

[Kilroy 271]

And my predictions are already wrong. Almost ready to call it a 2 horse race if IU can win against purdue on saturday.

[MartintheMopMan 7,765]

I started a post at work that I didn't finish and didn't post that started with "Assuming Maryland beats Minny (and as everyone knows, Minny can't beat anyone)..."

 

Guess that's out the window. Maryland still has 3 tough games too.

Someone called them out for Maryland being the 2012-2013 IU team.  That loss was even worse than the loss @Ill.  Minny is turrble!

[Brass Cannon 24,271]

Looking at schedules now I wont be shocked if we end the month with a share of the title. 

 

This assumes we handle Purdue and Illinois

 

Maryland has 2 tough games left this month.  Michigan at Home and then at Purdue. We only need them to lose 1.

 

Iowa has Wisconsin come to play at home, not an easy game then has to go to OSU.  They could lose both. 

 

 

If Maryland loses 1 and Iowa loses both and we take care of business we will have a share locked up. 

 

Not saying its likely or even my prediction but it is possible.
