Nebraska has a legit shot to win outright, especially at home. I wouldn’t bet against them.

Really surprised at Nebraska getting 4 vs MSU. Probably means MSU wins by double digits :)

Another surprising line tomorrow. NW at home only giving 3 to Penn State? Penn State would be favored on a neutral court?

Nebraska looks poised to play themselves into the NIT at this rate. Sparty better watch out.

Penn St is going to get tossed around like a plaything. Northwestern needs to stop their bleeding. That loss to rival Illinois is the kind that shakes you to your core. Penn St did the same thing but for them it meant the end of their season. The best time to play a team is immediately following their hearts getting broken. Northwestern did the same thing but it doesn’t end their season’s goals. Penn St is staring into the abyss and ain’t seeing anything. I’m expecting a bludgeoning. If I’m wrong, then Shrewsberry is so good they’ll be a top 25 team in 2-3 years.

There's no scenario where we get a double bye at 11-9. We have to get to 12-8. And the best Michigan State can do is 11-8. So I think rooting for Nebraska is fine if you enjoy Tom Izzo losing, as I do.
True. If we don't win out it's completely irrelevant. But I'm petty and after the way MSU fans were disparaging us for not bending over and moving the Minnesota game, I hope they lose out and are humiliated in Round 1 of the NCAA Tourney.

Want Nebraska to win their last two games, Michigan State and at Iowa.
Want Penn State to win their last two games, at Northwestern and Maryland.
(But there is a scenario where we want Maryland to be in the pod we end up in since we are 1-0 vs. the Terps so a chance we would favor Maryland vs. Penn State in their final. Don't want to be in a pod with Illinois and/or Michigan and/or Iowa. That is where having Maryland in the same pod could help)

Wisconsin blowing the end game vs. Michigan hurts.
We need to win both for these things to matter much.
Who we think we want to win the weekend games very likely could change based on which teams win the weeknight games. Crazy year.

I thought Indiana might be Final Four bound. Now maybe Iowa might be….

If they are both as good as I think they may be…. Plus Purdue…. Maybe Big 12 has some competition

You thought Indiana was NCAA tourney Final Four bound ?
I think they have all the parts when playing well. Why not? I’m not sold on Houston, they have beaten Purdue. That’s two right there and they are currently a 4 seed. I wouldn’t bet the house but I wouldn’t be shocked?

I don’t know what to make of Iowa either. Last year won four games in four days to win B1G and then lost to Richmond?
The MSU game? How do you figure them?

Boeheim's tenure is going out sad. You love to see it.
Soft spot for Boeheim. Unlike Cuse football think he kinda respected us. Was complimentary with Hughes and Duncan. He played us at the RAC when others wouldn’t. Thought he often over achieved.
I liked him.

Indiana is very good and can definitely beat top teams....I do question their toughness in handling success and maybe not being able to string good games together to make a run

Iowa might be the favorite to win the Big 10 again. Looks like the only way to stop them is to hope they have an off shooting night.

Iowa with another 90 point game with a 22 point win on the road.

Iowa may get hot for the b10 tourney but they will choke in the ncaa as usual. Bet they don’t get out of the first weekend.
