Good chance we see the Hoosiers crack the top 25 with a win today.

 

[RedRiver24]

Seems like we should be for the Hoosiers to win today?

Yep, Maryland and MSU are our toughest threats to the title IMO. Go Hoosiers, Gophers, and Buckeyes.

I don't want Nebraska or Northwestern winning any more games. Every time they win I feel like it pulls the conference down. That being said, NW and Nebraska are both going to get a couple upsets this year. Nebraska already beat Iowa and almost won @Rutgers. Northwestern played us, Indiana, and Maryland very tough. Ohio St is in a very dangerous position today.

 

[LoveLovie]

Not a lot of defense in this game

 

[Ga65]

Baskets must be bigger there, shooting threes at 75%.

Some very homer calls going the Hoosiers way down the stretch.

 

[Deleted member 17568]

7-0 run the last minute for Maryland to pull it out. Wow.

 

[JIllini]

I know IU winning was the best outcome for us...but gotta love seeing them choke away a big game like that.

 

[LarryGotFouled]

Wow. Jalen Smith really got into it with the fans. Turgeon had to grab him and shake him as they were about to do a TV interview. He pointed at the Indiana logo and said "This is my court!" Yikes.

 

[RedRiver24]

Stick Smith was really giving it to the fans after the to ahead bucket and then after the game was over.

Records are same and can’t root for Miller’s losiers.

 

[bombayIllini]

MN and MSU are sleepwalking.

each has 2 points in 4 minutes.

MD is ahead in the rankings and probably a more tough team to consider for the league championship.

I love it. Wish Turgeon would have let him keep going.

Records are the same because IU had an easier schedule. Maryland is the better team.

Rather see Maryland tie for second and 1st is spoken for.

NW up 9-2 early on OSU.

 

[NotThatPierre]

I think Illinois playing better is going to mean MSU playing better. It just seems like that's how izzo teams handle pressure in the standings

 

[Hopingfor500]

NW up 9-2 early on OSU.

I'm saying this upfront. IF IF IF NW beats OSU, their NET better drop like 25 spots. They have been so God awful, yet they're in the top 20.

Hopefully illinois takes the same attitude and there’s some separation from the pack in the next few games.

 

[FeelYourPaign]

Didn't watch, but I guess the Kitty Kats lost their way.
OSU 71, NU 59

 

[illini80]

3 road wins today. Cream starts rising to the top from here on out. We are in great shape if we can keep playing like we have been.

OSU hit some 3's and looked better than they have recently. They may be finding their way again. I wouldn't want to play them in the next few games. I'm glad we have them @ SFC.

Oops -- check that, we play in their house. That might turn out to be a tough one -- especially with MSU next.
