Wisconsin 8-1

[SCBoiler1]

It may take 16-4 to win the BIG outright this year. Which once was a given, is becoming more of a question mark. Wisconsin 8-1 with 6 more road games, Purdue 7-2 with 5 more road games.

Wisconsin's toughest remaining games:
@ Nebraska
Two against Purdue
Illinois @ Home

Purdue's toughest remaining games:
Two against Wisconsin

If Wisconsin wins @ Nebraska and beats us in their place next Sunday.... It's going to be tough to win the league outright.

If the last ppg happens, the B10 champ could have as little as 2 losses. Trouble is that means it's definitely not Purdue. Purdue's best path is 2 victories over Wisky. Not an easy one.

Why is it definitely not Purdue if the champ has only 2 losses?

If Wisky beats us @ home, as per his last paragraph.....that puts us to 3 losses......so I guess definitely was the correct word

Wisconsin goes on a 4 game stretch in 10 days. At Nebraska then we roll into town, then at Michigan and at Rutgers. First two are obviously toughest but still road wins are tough in any conference…they almost dropped one at the Barn, but Minnesota decided to Minnesota it and had bad possessions in the last minutes. Excited to see how we matchup with Wisconsin….and also if Nebraska can stay undefeated at home in B1G play.

Wouldn't be surprised if this year turns out like the Baby Boiler's run at the B1G championship. Boilers will beat UW twice, but no one else will, and Purdue will somehow end up one game out of first place, and MSU will have something to do with it.

@Chi-Boiler just curious what you think the line would be for WI and PU on a neutral court?

I'd say neutral as Purdue -5. I do think we will be favored in Madison.

 

[Chi-Boiler]

I think where the line was set last night is meaningful. It was only Wisconsin - 3.5. after beating them in East Lansing already. Because it was so small I actually bet MSU unfortunately.

MSU will have to actually double edey for once and I’m not sure they’ll be as good for the one game at Mackey. But they could be playing well by then…Izzo usually does have his guys ready. He played carr and Booker toward the end last night and got some good mins in for Booker…he hit a 3 and a 8 footer quick…if he had boxed out wahl on the other end, MSU would have had maybe a small chance if they could have converted a bucket. But even tho Booker made a mistake by not boxing wahl, he gained experience on what a good B1G team does to be successful. Let’s see if he can learn from it…but hopefully not by the time we play 😂

I was struggling with what "ppg" meant as that's always points per game in this world and I was wondering how that was relevant lol. I think I get the point though.

Wisky is a good team, do they play at IU? That won’t be easy, guessing 16-4 gets a share of the title.

Yep. And they’ll demolish IU

 

[Jbigler1986]

I don't care if we win the B1G or not. I want that national title way more

 

[DrEss]

I want all 3.

We’ll see, it won’t be an easy win, IU nearly beat Illinois today…winning on the road in the Big Ten isn’t easy.

Welp didn’t demolish IU…they almost demolished themselves. U of I played their worst game all year and still won.

Boilers are favored every game the rest of the year
