Wisconsin has some strange metrics. They have a horrible FG% (292 in the nation!), get only 11.3 assists per game (300th!), have a +0.8 pts average margin in B1G-only play (the same as RU), dead last in the league in 3PT%, lose the rebound margin by 1.5, and yet they are 9-3. They do not turn the ball over much at all. Michigan State is worst in league play at 13.7 turnovers per game.

Michigan State
Purdue (ooh that is a juicy matchup!)
Penn State (they have a solid home record, gotta try something different if I am to make up ground too)
Northwestern

Well I need to go against the picks of the top 3, FIG, Ray and Groz and if that doesn't work I will bow out graciously. šŸ˜€ So here we go

Wisconsin
Illinois
Northwestern
Michigan

Those are my picks but I believe the winners will be Michigan St, Purdue, Indiana and Michigan.

Man this league is even weaker than I thought.
Parity reigns supreme.Most teams don't have players that can create and make shots off the dribble.There is also excessive fouling which slows down games in the last five minutes .Many of the presumed best players have disappearing acts for long periods of time.Brown from Michigan State is a example .He scored 17 points in the first half against Rutgers and then made only one 3 pointer in the second half.Against Wisconsin he was a no show for most of the game which is a major reason why Michigan State loss at home.
