OSU up 41-29 at half. Every squirrel finds a nut.

Maryland up 41-39 at half. Refs blew a big out of bounds call that led to a 3 by Maryland

NW Maryland is a high level game. We definitely caught Maryland at the right time. They have a much a shot as anyone at winning the conference tournament.

Hate saying this, but Willard has done a fantastic job.

OSU highly likely to collapse per usual. Let's see if they can hold on and win for a change

Mixed bag. If NW keeps winning and Purdue loses 1 more, NW might be playing for the Big Ten championship at the RAC. Don’t want them any more pumped up for that one because we might need it
if Md loses they drop back to 10-8 where ru can catch them

They're a good home team...

Ok to give credit where credit is due. Ayala was a veteran point guard with ability that
they had to try and replace. Never easy

up 10 looks good, will also keep Ohio State in Quad 1

Illini heading toward the 8-9 game in the NCAA tourney

Yeah, I thought the same but the problem with OSU is that all of their solid players is in their freshman class. Their upperclassmen are totally useless and that's on Holtmann, If the 4 freshmen stick around with the top 5 or 6 class coming in, they could be really good the next couple of years - just not this year

Sensabaugh is a lottery pick from what I've heard but I don't follow that stuff really

Isn't that the second game in a row where NW got crushed in the second half? I like our chances against them next weekend more than I like our chances this evening.

Nothing too surprising about teams going on the road after having 3,home games in a row.and then loses. Iowa wins 3 in a row at home and loses 2 straight and look and shoot like puke. That would have carried over but being home bailed them out yesterday in a miracle. Losing 2 straight road games messes with confidence. NW gets 3 good home wins and plays 2 good first halves against Illinois and Maryland but not so good second halves and lose 2 in a row on the road.
Right now Maryland , Indiana , Michigan , Penn State and Nebraska are playing consistently well and all have ratcheted up their defense especially Michigan.

So who do we really want?

Assume Wisc win pushes UM farther out and keeps our road win Q1

UM wins pushes them over the bubble and maybe Wisc out. Causing a lost win over field and Q1 win. But keeps us away from the 11-14 game
