Penn St
Michigan

Not sure we can get into the 7-10 range which I think will include Ohio St, Nebraska, Maryland, Indiana and Iowa.
 
Of course, Sandfort was a monster against us and a big nothingburger against Maryland, going 3-9 (0-4 from deep including a desperation Baldor shot at the end) for six points. He also attempted to pick up Young driving for the winning bucket, but let him get a clear path for a driving layup.

I also felt Iowa made a coaching blunder after Young put the Terps up two with 1.9 to go. Odds were long either way but after catching a pass at midcourt, they could have called time again. Would have had over a second to inbound the ball at midcourt. I bet they would have gotten a better look than a blunder chuck.

really …this league top to bottom does not have a bad team. I suspect that there may be 10 of 14 teams between 8-12 and 12-8….
 
Jahmir Young is a stud.
Jamir Young was lights out against Iowa last night. Just watching his strength , quickness and 3 point ability was scary. Those teams such as Illinois, Maryland, Northwestern and Iowa just look physically more dominant at this point.
 
It will be an uphill battle to beat Maryland or Minnesota or Northwestern. They are just too good. Only Penn State and Michigan seem like likely wins.

Maryland has players that can create and make shots off the dribble which is important at crunch time .
Sometimes, ha ha. Normally they shoot about 30% this season. Luckily they play top-notch defense. They have lost a lot of 65-63 type games so far.

In B1G, they are first in points allowed per game and last in points scored per game. Yikes...
 
Maryland looked pretty good last night. There is talent, size and yes they also play solid D. That coach was being written off by some here but he had success at the Hall and it looks as though he is putting a solid team together once again.

Still plenty of time, but the teams in/out of the NCAA Tournament picture is coming into focus.

In:
Purdue
Wisconsin
Illinois

Likely:
Northwestern
Nebraska
Michigan State

Work to do:
Indiana
Maryland
Ohio State

Out:
Minnesota
RU
PSU
UM
Iowa
 
Big 10 is clearly down.....there might be similar records but the 7-14 grouping is the epitome of MEDIOCRITY

I see only 6 making the tourney this year...and Nebby is no guarantee. Iowa, Indiana, OSU can make it but at this point they are not close.

Another left hander who can dribble drive to the basket and also make 3 pointers.
 
Bottom of the conf looking better and better
After blowing out Nebraska today, it is clear that Maryland is finally playing to their top-5 in conference pre-season ranking. Of course, that’s just in time for us to have to play them twice in the second half of the conference season!

Nope.

2nd best conference just like a bunch of recent years and people say the same thing every year.

The last 5 schools are trash

Right now getting 6 schools in will be tough...so even with 6 that to to me screams down year

Nebby and even msu are not locks

Purdue Ill and Wisc are carrying the conference

The bottom five schools are better than the bottom five from any other conference sans the Big 12. The Big Ten has zero abjectly horrible teams.
 
This is Izzo’s worst coaching job that I can remember. There are a lot of pieces there and the team is not responding.
