[QUOTE="Piotyr, post: 1584619, member: 747104"] Now that the rest of the B1G slate for today is complete, here's updated PPP stats: [ATTACH type="full"]7350[/ATTACH] Illinois actually clearly establishing themselves as #2 right now while Michigan continues to not play. OSU/Iowa are tight for 3rd/4th and Wisconsin has really dropped off of late into a virtual 5-6-7 dead heat with Purdue and Rutgers. Those 7 teams are clearly safely in the tournament at this point. Past that, Indiana is a solid team with troubling NET stats, Penn State is almost back to .500 against easily the most brutal schedule in the country, so who knows what to do with them, and Minnesota really needs to pick up some wins here soon or they'll be in trouble overall. Maryland is also a borderline tournament team but might be behind PSU in the pecking order right now. MSU looks even with Maryland, but they've effectively played both their gift Nebraska games already AND their Northwestern game (and lost!), so the rest of their schedule will be unforgiving. Northwestern had won their opening 3 games (against MSU, Indiana and Ohio State), but hasn't been able to do anything since. Still get a game against Nebraska, and could surprise a team or two that have had a long layoff (which is why it's important to get some kind of game in for Illinois in the next 9 days), but they've effectively played themselves out of serious NCAA contention. Nebraska...played a game this week, which is a huge step. [/QUOTE]
