The columns are current record then team then the three or four remaining games with projected result then projected final standings.  

The intended purpose here is that you can use this to help analyze hypothetical what-if situations.  Ie, if you are a Wisconsin fan you can say:

• If the Badgers beat RU and everything else goes as projected then they'll be outright champs, or
• If the Badgers lose to PU and everything else goes as projected then they'll finish tied with IL for 3rd/4th

A Big Ten championship would be nice, but I just want to get a top 4 seed to get an extra day off.  I wouldn't even mind losing a 4-5 or 3-6 game in the BTT.  The team was worn out last year for the tourney and I'd like to see if they could make a Sweet 16 run if rested this time around.

These two game today are huge for Illinois' and Ohio State's title hopes.

In order for either the Buckeyes or Illini to win a share of the league, Purdue (at MSU today) and Wisconsin (at Rutgers today) both have to lose at least once each. One of those is automatic when Purdue visits Wisconsin on Tuesday and the other one pretty much needs to be today.

Why does Hummel call every Purdue game?  He's very good otherwise, but Jesus he's a homer

[ELA]

Sloppy final minute. Miss the front end of a one and one, and then foul a jump shooter. Potential five-point swing there from a 7-point lead if you make those FTs, to a 2 point lead

[ELA]

Treveon Williams holds on almost every defensive possession.  And almost is me being generous.

Robbie Hummel still whining though

[ELA]

I get the possibilities with Holmgren, but man, I think I would take Jaden Ivey #1 overall.  If the Pistons get him, I'll be delighted, although there might be some overlap with him and Cunningham

[ELA]

DJ Carstenstein is far worse official than Bo Boroski

[ELA]

We went from trading made 3s for FTs to trading missed 3s for FTs.  Purdue's defense is awful, and MSU can't make open 3s.

[ELA]

Definitely going to lose by 2 after leading the entire game, so I also lose my bet, because that's exactly how this season has gone.

I hate that timeout from Izzo.  MSU has been getting whatever they want when Williams is in the game.  Purdue getting back into it coincided with Edey coming in.

[ELA]

Wow, Williams still in
