here are some other conference level takeaways:
- Currently the B1G rates as the 2nd toughest conference with +18.50 NetRtg (referring to how a team would have to perform to go .500 in conference play), that trails slightly behind the SEC +19.54. The XII takes the bronze with +17.34.
- At the end of last season: SEC +22.09, B1G +19.00, XII +17.09
- The much maligned ACC has bounced back. Last season, 5th toughest at +9.16; this season 4th and +15.58.
- At the end of last season: SEC +22.09, B1G +19.00, XII +17.09
- Collectively, the B1G is 61-4. The only losses (and where):
- kp 11 Arizona def UCLA (semi-home at Intuit Dome) 69-65
- kp 25 Baylor def Washington (Away) 78-69
- kp 72 Georgetown def Maryland (Home) 70-60
- kp 29 Mizzou def Minnesota (Away) 83-60
- SEC v B1G, the Midwesterners are 3-0:

- kp 35 Arkansas lost away at Michigan State, 69-66
- kp 66 Oklahoma lost on neutral court (Sanford Pentagon) to Nebraska, 105-99
