Really hope you are right. If Michigan wins the Big Ten by dodging games and not even playing us ONCE, there will be a pretty big outcry.

6 of 8 road games to end the season. That will be hard. But if we get through it, we will be dialed up for the tourney
Would be great if the subs can get some B1G minutes. That experience will help next year.

So an excellent matchup for Damonte.

Pregame layup drills. For some reason, Damonte and Teddy are seen talking at half court. Immediate double ejection. Game proceeds as if nothing happened and Illinois goes on to win by 25+.

I sure hope MICH suffers a similar fate.
Respect for Nebraska.
Should have gotten a couple minutes at the end of the Wisky game.

Kudos to Nebraska for agreeing to that schedule (assuming they had some say)- after our game ended on Saturday they will have played three games before they play us! Crazy!
clearly not fair to them but they are taking one for the conference here

There isn't much to gain here for sure. But I don't care, I'm just happy to get to see these guys play!
I actually love watching this team play on the road and don’t find it being a disadvantage *this season*
I really think they embrace the #RoadKill mentality and it dials them in a little extra. I expect to win all these games with the exception of @Ohio State
We will beat Ohio State by 10.
In a perfect world we go into the half up 25 and can do some experimental stuff in the second half. But in this conference you take any win you can get.
These are the ones that bother me the most. The upside is that we get an expected win. The downside is a disasterous loss that will put a major, major dent into our hopes of a high seed. We have three games left like this.... Nebraska (2) and Northwestern. The expected outcomes are that we win all of them, semi comfortably and I don't even want to think about the unexpected.

We already talking about getting back ups in? Can we play the game first please?
Probably be 1 close, we usually don't coast to wins.
It would be wrong of the team to talk this way. We aren't on the team though.

Agree. And I'm speculating it will be closer most of the game than we want it to be. Minnesota was favored over the Huskers by 11 last night - at home. I speculate the Illini by 8-9 on the road.
ILL 83
NEB 74
Next two make-up games would be the two Michigan schools, both on the road.
Looking forward to the game ^^
They haven't even played a game against Iowa, IL or OSU so far. And they lost to Minnesota. I'm not sold on them as being best team in B10, and the B10 shouldn't be sold on it either.
Ballpark, how much do we need to win by to keep our Net ranking where it is? I understand that the ranking doesn't directly look at margin of victory, but it does seem to look at it indirectly, through points per possession on the offensive and defensive side. If so, and assuming an uptempo game, do we need to win by 20 or so?
The real positive to all of this is it APPEARS the BIG is serious about teams that had Covid issues to make up games missed. scUM’s ending 11 games are very difficult and they will have to play them in a compressed time period.
I really feel having Nebraska (2) times and Northwestern included in our final 8 games is a huge advantage. Really road vs. home at this point is not much different?
