Iowa's upset win in Urbana/Champaign means that we now project that the Illini and Hawkeyes will finish tied for 13/14 at 4-14.  They only play once and Iowa won so the H2H tiebreaker goes to the Hawkeyes and we now project Iowa as the 13 seed and Illinois as the 14 seed in the BTT.

Just an FYI:
There will not be any updates to the tiers for a while.  I'm about to leave town, headed for NYC.  I'm hoping to stay ahead of the storm on the road.  I'll be in NYC for the weekend and then I'm going to the Ohio State at Rutgers game Sunday night and I'll be on the road on the way home on Monday.  

I'll update the projections on Tuesday, January 16.  Projections between now and then:
  • Michigan State should beat Michigan in E. Lansing
  • Purdue should beat Minnesota in Minneapolis
  • Ohio State should beat Rutgers in Jersey (though I'm probably jinxing that by going)
  • Penn State should beat both Nebraska and Minnesota at home.  
  • Michigan should lose in EL but beat UMD at home.  
  • Maryland should lose in Ann Arbor
  • Minnesota should lose at home to Purdue then on the road to Penn State
  • Nebraska should lose at Penn State then beat Illinois at home
  • Wisconsin does not play until Tuesday
  • Indiana should beat Northwestern at home
  • Northwestern should lose in Bloomington
  • Rutgers should lose at home to Ohio State
  • Illinois should lose at Nebraska
  • Iowa is off

Illinois consistently finding new ways to lose and rip my heart out.

Wow!
If you're a sports fan, that is a must app.

Oh, and BTW, we only lost because the whole team is sick....... 

Yeah...

Battle of Michigan at Noon today. Would be nice to see the men and Blue get a W. Big win escaped them earlier this week and no better team to snag it from.

Might be the half foot of snow on the ground, but looking forward to the MSU-UM game.  Feel like I've checked out of college basketball the past couple years, but getting back into it.

Which team? I thought it was a great half except all the ticky tac fouls in the paint called against Michigan.

Purdue is playing quite well.  Until that little bit of life showed before the end of the half, it looked like Minn had thrown in the towel and was cooked.  Their 3 pt def has been awful.

The fouls, the taunting after dunks... 
Refs real timid with the whistle against Dook 2.0.

The Purdue game is "boring" enough that I put it on my phone so UM/MSU could go on the big screen.

Can someone explain why Miles Bridges takes 3-pointers?

Dan Dakich actually said "If you were to play one of those games where you take a drink of a beverage every time I say Keita Bates-Diop on a broadcast, you'd get pretty messed up." Then started talking about Harry's Chocolate Shop at Purdue is such a great place...

I think Dakich enjoys imbibing a bit...
