Wisconsin barely escapes vastly improved Minnesota 61-59

 

[bac2therac]

Nebraska win an impressive winner over Ohio State 83-69. Up to 15-5. Need to pick up some league road wins now. OSU looking a bit sketchy for the NCAA tourney

 

[bitnez]

Purdue toying with Michigan

Wisconsin barely escapes vastly improved Minnesota 61-59

I was looking at the matchup the last 4, Home or Road, for Wisc & Minnesota all have ended close. More matchup than talent improved.

22-23 Wisc 71 @ Minn 67
@ Wisc 63 Minn 60
21-22 Wisc 68 @ Minn 67
@ Wisc 66 Minn 60

wisc was average last year, minnesota has definitely improved and it shows in their net

Purdue 99-67 winners..yikes

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Minnesota(12-7) lost at home to an average 8-10 Missouri.
Their best wins Nebraska at home and @ Michigan, and Q3 Maryland at home.
Their non conference was just easier this year than the prior two, with 9 Q4s, #226 Maine(8-10), #259 FGCU(5-12), #276 Ball St(8-9) and 6 more net teams lower than that and worse records. I've watched this team a number of times, they will finish in the bottom 4 and a losing record with Michigan. Penn St, Indiana, and Maryland aren't that good either, We have a much easier path to stay out of the bottom 4 than other teams.

 

[bac2therac]

Rutgers is right with them

 

[Scarlet Blind_rivals]

Why because they have lost all 8 to NET top 50 opponents a few in blowout fashion due to the chemistry and play of our backcourt being outplayed by more experienced guards together?

They aren't a below 0.500 and have Q4 loss at home to Bucknell like Penn St, or a 75% cupcake ratio or Q3 loss at home to Missouri like Minnesota. Michigan's multiple losses to Q3s and Q4s at home. Maryland 2 close Q3s losses to Davidson and UAB on a neutral are looking less bad as the season progresses, and has the @ Illinois win but huge drop off to the next win, Q3s home Michigan and Penn St both under 0.500.

We are with the Indiana clean sheet of losses but multiple double digit losses. We won our close calls and so did Indiana. I think that puts RU and IND a little notch above if we get on a roll and put a few wins, maybe a good upset, together, 2 out of 3, 3 out of 4, 4 out of 5 at some point.

Love seeing Michigan so bad. Good for that school.

 

[RUJMM78]

Bottom line there are far more mediocre teams as compared to top tier B1G Ten teams.
Nebraska should be taken seriously because of their ability to score more than 75 points home or away.Wisconsin continues to find a way to win on the road.Purdue is such a bad matchup for most teams because of Edie.Michigan State has the talent to move up to a top four league ranking.Illinois with Shannon back would be my favorite to win the league championship.

there is a reason that Michigan, Rutgers, Minnesota, Maryland, and Indiana are all tightly packed together in the NET. You are trying waaay to hard based on no real evidence besides homerism to somehow differentiate RU from any of these schools. The good thing is that that RU has 5 games with them left plus 2 vs Penn State (who despite being rated worse has a win over Wisconsin which elevates them) so we will find out if there is really a difference. I think in the end they are all fairly interchangable besides Maryland which has the most potential to have success
