As we all know, only 15 of 18 make the tournament this year. Safe to say Minnesota and Washington look to be the 2 bottom teams, and should finish 17 and 18.

That 16th and third team out is wide open.

Who’s everyone thinking? I’d think it will be one of the following. Most would’ve said USC to start the year, but they’ve looked damn good in last 2 and Musselman can coach.

Northwestern
Rutgers
USC
Indiana
Penn St
Nebraska
Ohio St

UCLA is 2-4 - technically behind RU at the moment (and lost to Nebraska, Maryland and RU - true, though, all 3 on the road). And Iowa is 3-3 in conference - and lost to USC already (beat NW).

Just saying who the heck knows at this stage?

FYI, 12 of 18 Big Ten teams have 3 or more league losses at this early stage ... and 11 teams are separated by just 2 games (league record from 4-2 to 2-4). Still very early.

RU's problem is they started with 4 of 6 home games and only went 2-4. Meaning they have 14 games left of which 8 are road games, plus MSU at MSG, so only 5 true home games left.

We probably beat Princeton and kennesaw with him but we still wouldn’t be top half of the big ten or close to it

That's an emotional take. Laf will become a very good player but it's not linear. I'd like to see a lot more from him, for sure, but far bigger issues on this team.

Same thing was said, verbatim, about JT Miller when he was here. Also worth noting Kakko's 9 points in 12 games with Seattle compared to 14 points in 30 games in NY...

Laf has a weak shot, no one timer and is a bad defensive player….period.
He can’t score.
You need to see only one thing from him Cheese😊, it’s called goals…. Plus he’s minus 12 and can’t play 3 on 3 or kill penalties.

If he was a hitter in baseball, he’d be hitting 180 and playing bad in the field
