Got it, thanks. 

Just like I did with IA/NU, I'm going to assume, for now, that the game will NOT be played until it is rescheduled so if/when it does get rescheduled please let me know and I'll update the projections accordingly.  

I don't see a spot where you could just stick the game in.

I don't know if this will copy/paste well but it gets even worse when you include Northwestern's schedule.  They'll probably have to rearrange a midweek such that both UW and NU play their other opponent that week on either Tuesday or Thursday and they play each other the other day:

I don't see it happening.

Medina,

IU might be worthy of moving to Tier 2, I think if they beat Mich St this weekend we should move them, if not they stay where they are.  Something has changed with them.

That win in Champaign was impressive as was their blowout of Wisconsin but I think it is a little early to move them up yet.  I don't think we have enough to know if this is a trend or a blip.  

They started January with three straight losses including AT HOME to Northwestern and looked terrible.  The problem is that their next three games (vsMSU, @MN, vstOSU) are all projected wins so they can't do anything to improve their status until the last day of January when they play at Maryland.

MSU had to play 6 games in 16 days (5 on the road) last year because Slappy didn't want to have to play us without Dickinson when it was scheduled.  So, they'll figure it out

So while everyone else leans more and more into analytics, saying basketball is won by making threes, and getting to the line, MSU is good at both, except doing neither

Jamaal Williams was just fined $20,000 for an end zone dance that was "too sexual".  This douche just keeps being a douche.  Congrats on not being good enough to be a pro, I guess?

Rumblings UW-NU on Monday. I assume that bumps back NW-Neb. a day.

Lincoln – The Big Ten Conference announced Sunday morning that the Nebraska-Northwestern men's basketball game originally, scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 24, has been moved to Wednesday, Jan. 25. 

Tipoff for the rescheduled game at Pinnacle Bank Arena is now set for 6 p.m. The game will be carried on FS2 and the Huskers Radio Network.

Fans who had purchased tickets for Tuesday's scheduled game should use those tickets on Wednesday evening. 

Today's announcement was necessitated following the move of the Northwestern-Wisconsin game from Jan. 21 to Jan. 23 because of COVID-19 health and safety protocols within the Northwestern program.

I guess the Covid went away in two days. Nerds...

On the one hand, I'm interested in seeing who actually will play for NW. There ware rumors it was a COVID/Injury combo.

On the other, it was set for 2:30, and I would've liked that.
