Shaping up to be an exciting finish. A lot of games left among the top 5 in the league. And there's not a huge talent gap among those teams.

Wisconsin and Purdue have the easiest schedules with both having trips to OSU and IU, and MSU at home, plus 4 against the bottom.
OSU has the next easiest with 3 of the 4 toughies at home. The trip to IU won't be fun, and none of the other 3 remaining road games are "gimmies" with this team.
Indiana is next. 5 tough ones, but 4 of those are at home. The 3 other games are on the road, but should be wins
MSU has the nastiest draw here, going on the road against each of the other top 5 teams, plus a visit from the Hoosiers.
PROJECTIONS:
Purdue: 5-2 (losses @IU, @OSU) - finish 15-3
Indiana: 7-1 (loss @MSU) - finish 16-2
Wisconsin: 6-1 (loss @IU) - finish 15-3
MSU: 5-3 (losses @Purdue, @IU, @Wisc) - finish 13-5
OSU: 4-3 (losses @IU, Wisc, MSU) - finish 11-7
I really wanted to give OSU the win against MSU to finish out the regular season, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. And lord knows there will be some upsets in this mix. Hopefully none involving OSU being upset. :)

First-place Boilermakers top MSU
Wednesday, February 13, 2008 From wire reports
Robbie Hummel scored a career-high 24 points and No. 19 Purdue beat No. 10 Michigan State, 60-54, in men's college basketball Tuesday night in West Lafayette, Ind.
Hummel, a freshman, also grabbed 11 rebounds and made 4 of 7 3-pointers.
E'Twaun Moore scored 12 points and Keaton Grant added 11 for Purdue, which won its 10th straight game to remain alone in first place in the Big Ten. The Boilermakers (20-5, 11-1 Big Ten) have won at least 20 games for the second straight year.
Freshman guard Kalin Lucas scored a career-high 20 points for Michigan State, and Raymar Morgan scored all 12 of his points in the second half for the Spartans (20-4, 8-3).

Very good analysis on your part.Bucky Katt;1090278; said:
I know they get them at home but I really can't see Indiana beating Wisconsin, Purdue, and MSU in three straight games especially now with Sampson having some things:) on his mind.
I think we will take either Wisconsin or MSU at home. We really need to win one of those games to secure a tournament berth IMO and not lose any of our road games to lesser teams. Michigan and Minny really worry me. Hopefully, my worries will be unfounded.

I've always liked them
I'd be shocked if Bill Carmody isn't axed after this year

Big Ten Notebook: Boiling Big Ten
[FONT=Verdana,Times New Roman,arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Purdue continues winning roll[/FONT]
Thursday, February 14, 2008
By MIKE POPOVICH
Anyone waiting on Purdue's young players to feel the pressure of first place may be in for a long wait.
Wins over Wisconsin and Michigan State in a 72-hour span have the Boilermakers sitting alone atop the Big Ten standings. On a 10-game winning streak, Purdue looks a lot more like a league championship contender than the team that struggled to beat Lipscomb and lost to Wofford earlier in the season.
"We've come a long way in six weeks," Head Coach Matt Painter said after Tuesday's 60-54 win over the Spartans. "Our players understand that we can get beat by a lot of teams, but we also know that we can beat a lot of people."
The wins over the Badgers and Spartans marked the first time the Boilermakers have beaten top-10 teams in back-to-back games.

College basketball roundup: Late bank shot lifts Wisconsin
Thursday, February 14, 2008 3:37 AM
Associated Press
No. 15 Wisconsin 68, No. 13 Indiana 66 -- Brian Butch banked in a three-point shot with 4.5 seconds left, the last of Wisconsin's 11 threes, and the Badgers posted a Big Ten victory over Indiana last night in Bloomington, Ind. Butch had 13 points and four rebounds in a game the Badgers' guards dominated. Jason Bohannon scored 18 points, all on three-pointers, and Michael Flowers had 15, hitting three more threes for Wisconsin (20-4, 10-2).
Indiana (20-4, 9-2) was led by Eric Gordon with 23 points, but it wasn't quite enough on a night basketball was overshadowed by coach Kelvin Sampson's alleged off-the-court transgressions.

I do not understand why you say that. Northwestern is very limited in the type of athlete that they can bring in due to do their academics. Maybe you know something about Carmody than I do not put for the majority of games he seems to give other teams fits. It is almost harder to recruit at Northwestern for basketball than it is for football because you can cover some positions up in football whereas in basketball it's only 5 guys on the court.DaytonBuck;1091726; said:
