Huskers actually looked like a basketball team tonight

improvement
They've been getting close. I keep thinking they'll tag somebody in Lincoln. They've got UMD, RU, and PU left . . .

Thank God for Ayo.  Huskers put up a battle.

Me earlier today: UW only winning by 15 in Nebraska seemed like a sign things are still off.

Me after seeing that score: This damn sport and league.
I told you:

Illinois (#4 NET, #7 BPI) at Nebraska (#167 NET, 130 BPI): 
With Nebraska at 0-8 in the league this certainly looks like a mismatch but the Cornhuskers have been reasonably competitive at home.  In their four previous B1G home games they (most recent to earliest):
  • Lost to Wisconsin by 13
  • Lost to Indiana by 8
  • Lost to Michigan State (pre-Spartan COVID pause) by 7
  • Lost to Michigan by 11
Yes, they are all losses but those are some really good opponents and none of those losses were complete blowouts.  Illinois should win (and likely move to "lock" status but they shouldn't overlook the Cornhuskers.

An ESPN tip for Buckeyes/Hoosiers, so looking forward to hearing about Duke for much of the game

They certainly were eagle eyed calling travels on Zed Key. Trying to figure traveling calls in basketball will wear you out.

A lot easier in the NBA. You pretty much have to jog full court with the ball above your head for them to call it.

Buckeyes rolled to an easy win today.
These next 5 games will be very interesting to see how good they really are.

The final five for the Buckeyes are an odd mix where I feel like they are all basically toss-ups.

Two road games against mediocre teams (MSU, PSU) and three home games against the best the conference has to offer (M, IA, IL).

Medina, are Illinois and Ohio State your only 2 locks so far?  I'm assuming Michigan would join them with a win tomorrow.

I was planning on starting that Monday, after this weekend's games.

I mentally created a new category of "Probably a Lock" for Michigan this year. 

Assuming they actually played 20 RS B1G games, lost out, and lost their BTT opener,  they would finish 13-13/8-13 and that would not get them in so, by my very literal definition, not a lock.

OTOH, as a practical matter at this point it seems extremely unlikely that Michigan will play anywhere close to 20 RS B1G games. They are probably a lock because they may only play 15 RS B1G games in which case their worst-case-scenario is 8-8/13-8 which is probably good enough.

OSU looked the part today.  They go to PSU Thursday.  The UM Wiscy game tomorrow will be interesting.  Michigan faces Rutgers later this week.  Wins all around and we are looking at a heck of a tilt next Sunday as OSU plays Michigan.  

As far as tourney probabilities.

The NCAA released their top 16 today.

3. Michigan (1)
4. OSU (1)
5. Illinois (2)
13. Iowa (4)

Since that, Iowa blasted MSU.  Going by T-Ranketology, B1G teams have the following odds to make the tourney (seed listed first):

1. Michigan - 100% 
1. OSU - 100
2. Illinois - 100
2. Iowa - 99.9
3. Wiscy - 100
6. Purdue - 96.9
7. Rutgers - 87.0
9. Minny - 90.0
11. Indiana - 53.4
PSU - 14.9
Maryland 13.5
MSU - 3.2
NW - 0.2
Nebraska - 0.0
