Well that was unexpected.
Not for Maryland fans. Those quotes are from Maryland fans in the team boards in Rivals. 

Not a single Maryland fan believes that the Big Ten will allow Maryland to win the Big Ten Championship outright let alone the Big Ten Tournament.

Until that happens, we'll always believe the B1G just protects its big boys.

A college fanbase believes the powers that be are aligned against them? I'm floored by this. So unusual.

(Lots of fans believe this. It neither makes Maryland fans particularly unusual or correct. But it is one way to choose to consume sports, and I suppose I will not get in the way of the decision to think such things are in play. As for today, y'all lost a game you were not favored to win. It happens)

Odd that the Big Ten allows the Terps to rake in so many titles in w hoops, lacrosse, w lacrosse, field hockey, soccer, etc.

Yeah, it's not like they'd ever let Maryland win a road game, at the Big Tens best program over the past two decades, on a night they were celebrating the conference's last national championship team.

YES! It is I, some ref I've never heard of because I don't read Maryland message boards. 

And no, your team isn't magical and special with all the world being mean to you just because. Though it is interesting that to this point, they've had the fourth easiest schedule in league play. I'll be interested how that ends up.

BTW, four teams are tied for second in the conference and another is going to join them Monday. 

KenPom projects a five-way tie for second, which would be bananas. Also someone is gonna miss that, but it's nice to dream.

Late post, but big win by Michigan yesterday. Best defensive showing against a decent team all season, which was nice to see, especially on the road. It was probably Wagner's best game yet, as well. The team is finally playing to its potential again, and Livers' injuries may have been a blessing in disguise in forcing Johns to emerge while also hindering Livers' draft stock so he'll likely come back next year. Supposedly Brooks' injury wasn't serious, thankfully.

Wisconsin is next....

Barring something crazy, y’all probably got this. UW does not have a super high ceiling, and your team is on one and at home.

I agree though I have no idea what that phrase means.  I guess Michigan is on channel 1, so they are clicking right now?

UW is playing with 6 scholarship players (+1 other who has a scholarship, but is not a B1G player).Tough to win B1G road games with that mix, especially against a fairly good team.

I think Ohio State and Michigan are locks now.  Wisconsin and Rutgers are like one more win away.  Indiana is basically the only bubble team at this point, but barring collapse they should be in also.

EDIT: Rutgers has a tough finishing stretch.  They could be in a little danger here.
