Goes full circle. PSU is better than themselves on any given night.

that's not a circle.

Michigan saved their season today blowing out Wisconsin. First good win of the season since Memphis and UCLA don't look very good.

No B1G team has shown they can win against top competition on the road. OSU, tsun, MSU, Indiana all look good at home, but I'm waiting to see someone emerge as a tough team to beat anywhere (the Buckeyes took a step in that direction with a blowout win at Iowa).

So too did Iowa, but I'm beginning to think Wisconsin is in trouble.

Yeah, Wisky has now lost 3 in a row.

Iowa shot ~50% in Madison. Honestly, I don't think that has ever happened lol

What team in the country has shown this? UK got beat @ IU. I am not sure 'Cuse has played a quality road game to date. UNC has two road losses. Mizzou just went on the road and got ripped. There is a reason quality road wins are tough to come by.

You are correct, but since this is a B1G thread, my focus was on the B1G

A loss at home with their upcoming schedule could have sent them in a downward spiral. Now they have some breathing room.

Michigan needed OT to beat Northwestern at home. Still not sold on them as being that good. At least, not top 15 in the country good.

Definitely not consistent enough.

NW isn't a bad team. UM is hard to figure out to date. Just when you think they aren't looking good, they look good. As Web said, consistancy issue.

Mulva

That stretch they have coming up starting and ending with MSU is brutal. I guess they'll have plenty of chances to prove themselves there.

Minnesota-Indiana in the Gus Johnson special tonight. Its going to be a dandy.

You weren't kidding.

Zeller is pretty clutch. Gus finish.

gorocks99

Yesssss finally get that B1G win, good one for my Gophs

dave

That's a really bad loss for Indiana, with Minnesota's upcoming schedule they have a chance to get back on track.

You won't see two road teams pull off an upset in the B1G many nights.

gorocks99

Gophers basically have to be 3-4 going into the MSU game (wins @ PSU, vs NW) then they have 6 home and 4 away to end the year, and get Nebraska twice. Wouldn't be terribly surprised if the Gophers end up around 8-10 or 7-11 in the league this year ... which would be pretty decent considering they started 0-4.

dave

I'd say that's pretty optimistic but you never know. They didn't exactly look good tonight, although nobody has in Bloomington.

Excellent win for the Gophers, but wtf's going on in West Lafayette? thank god we don't have to go there, though, 'cause Hummel would prolly go off for 40 in the upset

IU shot it's wad against the Bucks and shit the bed against Minny. That has to be disappointing to some.

That's def one in the "bad loss" column
