[QUOTE="UofIChE06, post: 1178773, member: 9264"] Huge game obviously. Bigger game from a RPI/KenPom standpoint. UI goes from 126 yesterday to 97. Many have talked about the PU defense rating. It is not #1 anymore. Also PU drops from 4 to 13. For all the talk about this team you have to remember they have played the 31st SOS which is stronger than any other B1G team and stronger than most power conference teams. They have fought throw a gauntlet so far this season and are still fighting. This schedule wasn't built for a team with the injury concerns they have had to deal with. I think they have generally fought very well given the circumstance (probably with the exception of a few games). The one thing I really like that I don't think was evident in previous seasons is that this truly feels like a team. I don't watch them and think the team is all about getting player X stats. As long as they keep playing like a team and giving good effort they can turn the season around. Closing it out with a 10-5 run is not outside the realm of possibility. [/QUOTE]
