Man, NW IS GONNA BE PACK AND ROCKING WHEN WE PLAY THERE
I didn’t think so.
We play them at home, we already lost there buddy. Lol.
Both of those programs are struggling this year too. Imagine if we didn’t have a transfer to Duke
Next January? We already lost there on January 4.

Uh, might be there Monday. Has AP voted already for tomorrow‘s poll?
Win the next two on the road and only then I’ll start to get my hopes up for a conference championship.
And Purdues next game is at Maryland, who is currently undefeated at home in conference and similarly bothered PU’s guards with a press and had them on the ropes in Mackey but couldn’t make a 3 to save their lives. About to get interesting.

Lol, love this. I also feel like I'm the only person who thinks the girl he's with in this meme is like 1,000 times hotter than the one in red.
It's going to be an exciting finish to the conference season!

BTN just picked IU as 3rd best team overall. Country, not conference.

We have these Big Ten games before Saturday ... I will just go ahead and give my PERSONAL predictions of what will happen so we can get some hypothetical standings for Saturday:
TUESDAY
Illinois at Penn State
Nebraska at Rutgers
Michigan at Wisconsin
WEDNESDAY
Minnesota at Michigan State
Indiana at Northwestern
THURSDAY
Purdue at Maryland
Ohio State at Iowa
First off, I think NU has a comedown game and Indiana keeps up its good play. Conversely, UMD is great at home and I could see the Boilers start to have their luck catch up with them. If those results are correct - and there are definitely a few coin flips like IU/NU and PU/UMD - these would be the standings as we travel to Bloomington for a huge game on ESPN:
1. Purdue: 12-4
2. Indiana: 10-5
3. Illinois: 9-5
4. Northwestern: 9-6
4. Michigan State: 9-6
4. Iowa: 9-6
4. Rutgers: 9-6
4. Maryland: 9-6
4. Michigan: 9-6
5. Wisconsin: 6-9
5. Nebraska: 5-9
6. Penn State: 5-10
7. Nebraska: 5-11
8. Ohio State: 3-12
9. Minnesota: 1-13
All this is to simply say the following - if we take care of business at Penn State on Tuesday and get to 9-5, our game in Bloomington will range from huge (battle for second place and being in a GREAT spot for a double bye) to absolutely monumental (winner is RIGHT on Purdue's heels with each having one more game against the Boilers).
GO ILLINI! Beat PSU!

The same Indiana team that should have lost to Michigan.

I would say Eastern Illinois over Iowa wins that award, but this is pretty big.
Lol. I don’t know why I thought we lost at home. I was thinking about PSU. My bad. Glad we get them at home.
I love that meme as well but disagree. Girl in the red isLol, love this. I also feel like I'm the only person who thinks the girl he's with in this meme is like 1,000 times hotter than the one in red.
It's going to be an exciting finish to the conference season!
I'm not kicking either one of the girls out of bed though

Considering most of the fans at the first game were Illini fans... very easy to think it was a home game

They were only 5.5 point dogs. Not a huge upset at all by that methodology.
That NW game vs Duke in the tournament will be fun.
This was the first time.
@Fighter of the Nightman Not so sure the @OSU game will be a Q1, yikes
