Big Ten Basketball Thread

They may determine who does though and thats kinda my point. I think they will struggle against OSU, Minny, and MSU but IMO they can beat Illinois and Purdue on the right night at home. If they can get one of those two for us it will help the Buckeye cause.
Also, maybe Wisconsin and Northwestern at their place but not away. Plus, I really don't think we will need any help from them. If the Buckeyes continue to improve I really only see them losing 2 games, if that, in the Big 10. I hope I am not lacking at this team through scarlet colored glasses.

And for a look at the bottom part of the B10;

Long Beach state scores 47 in the second half and beats Iowa in Iowa.

Central Connecticut State only trails PSU by 3 inside 7 minute mark first half.

The only team that has looked anywhere near as good as the Bucks is Minny...MSU looks good but not great.
