IMHO, both moves would be premature.

What if UW wins in Tucson this weekend?

What if UW wins in Tucson this weekend?

That would be impressive no doubt. Even with a win there, I'm not 100% convinced that they are as good as Purdue. 

Purdue lost to Northwestern which doesn't look good but Northwestern is #48 in KenPom. Guess who is #47? That would be the Providence team that beat UW. So I think I'd view the Providence/Northwestern losses as a wash and the rest of PU's resume is, IMHO, better than the rest of UW's especially because PU beat and UW lost to Tennessee.

The difference between Wisconsin a month ago and now is the emergence of a transfer (AJ Storr) and two true freshmen (Blackwell and Winter).

They know how to play in the system now. Storr and Blackwell could start just about anywhere.

I hope you all had a great St. Nicholas Day, Dec. 6, 2023

Caitlin Clark and Iowa WBB defeated Iowa State at Hilton Coliseum to celebrate St, Nick's Day (whether they knew it or not). Iowa State put up quite a fight. Clark surpassed 3,000 points in her career. She is approximately 500 points shy of the all-time leading point scorer in WBB NCAA play, Kelsey Plum. 
The woman who is the highest scoring WBB player of all-time in D-1 is actually Lynette Woodard, played for Kansas before the NCAA involvement in women's college sports. Caitlin Clark is 600 points or so short of Lynette Woodard. Clark is on track for the career scoring record.

Feels good for Big Red too.

Last night Maryland needed OT to beat PSU at home, Nebraska lost to Minnesota, and Rutgers got blown out by Wake Forest.

Is it just me or is the league as a whole, from top to bottom, weaker then it has maybe ever been?

Purdue and Wisconsin look really good but not altogether invincible. 

Illinois and Ohio State look solid but not elite.

MSU looks mediocre but I think we all more-or-less assume that Izzo will have them ready in March.

Indiana and Northwestern look ok.

Nebraska, Rutgers, Iowa, and Michigan all look shaky if you ask me.

Maryland, Penn State, and Minnesota look terrible.

I don't know about weaker than ever, considering they have one of the best teams in the country and a handful of other pretty strong teams. PSU and Minnesota are as advertised, Maryland has been a big disappointment.

I think this has turned out to be fake.
