Maryland and Wisconsin lose...it's like Michigan never happened.

I'll take it...win one of our last two games to clinch a share of the B1G..win both and we claim the title out right.

I almost feel sorry for IU on Tuesday...almost.

I think you mean Wisconsin, but I'll take it too.

Thanks for catching that before some asshat gave me shit.

Isn't the IU game on Tuesday? ; )

The BTT could be a completely $hitshow, might as well not even seed it.

The NCAA Tournament could be real bad - I wouldn't be shocked if no Big Ten team made the Sweet 16. That being said, there's a lot of parity all over, not just in the Big Ten. There's just not a lot of overly impressive teams this year.

I don't know if it's quite that bad, but the league leaders didn't do much this weekend to restore national confidence in the top of the B1G.

No way, man. Get ahold of yourself. This is for all the marbles in the conference and against our rival. No one feels sorry for anybody. Take no prisoners!

I am not predicting a serious beat down on Tuesday night, because I've watched this crap for too many years to assume as much...............................but I would be very surprised if we don't see a dead focused Boiler team ready for some action. BTFU!!!

Purdue just needs to be ready to play its own game. You don't want to be overly psyched going into a game and have to take time to settle down.

One thing we know about this game is the rebounding battle will be a significant battle - it was dead even last game and it sure wouldn't hurt to have an advantage there.

Swanigan played pretty good against IU, but they have some formidable bigs (he was also in foul trouble). He shot a couple 3s that didn't go in - something I think he needs to be careful on. Yes, he's shot them at a pretty good clip this season, but it's also been very limited numbers.

We shot the 3 really poorly against IU in the first matchup - I think under 30% and a pretty high number of them. We have to be more efficient there.

Overall, it's a match-up that is really hard to predict. IU has the ability to shoot very well from outside, but are wildly inconsistent. There isn't necessarily a pattern with them either - they won the Northwestern game with 63 points, lost the Iowa game scoring 90 and lost a few games before that scoring in the 60s and 70s.
