Painter is a really good coach, but I just think he's got a mixed bag of talent. A lot of players right now that can do a lot of good things separate of each other, but cannot form a winning team. They'll probably be a 9-9 conference team but I think that'll be an awful conference record. I think Michigan will win the B1G with a 16-2 record. |

I'm not going to argue with anyone that thinks UM will win the conference with that mark. They look really good, and I certainly think 16-2 will get it done. Question though. Purdue was 6-6 OOC, correct? If they go 9-9 in conference, depending on who they beat (and the Illinois win could already look very good, assuming they get a couple other very quality wins), they'll be 15-15. Considering how good the B1G looks compared to other conferences (whether you think it's down or not), I think that puts them out of the conversation for an NCAA berth. I think a 15-15 team in the BIG is much more impressive than an 18-12 in the SEC, ACC, or PAC-12. Just my thoughts...shoot em down if you'd like. Edited by obatskii, Jan 6 2013, 02:08 AM.

Purdue will not make the NCAA tournament. They'll be lucky to make the NIT. They just aren't very good right now, and they had enough losses early on to eliminate themselves from the tourney. |

Just to make the NIT, Purdue will need 10 Big Ten wins (either 10 regular season or 9 regular season and 1 BTT). I believe the NIT has stuck with its rule about not taking any losing teams. I see no chance that Michigan or any other team goes 16-2 in conference play. Zero. Michigan and Indiana both have to play all of the currently ranked teams on the road. That's five road games -- at Minnesota, Ohio State, Illinois, and Michigan State and against each other. I think Indiana and Michigan split which leaves only room for one more loss. Michigan also goes to Wisky (IU doesn't). If Indiana and Michigan were to split, that means they would have to three of the four games at Ohio State, Illinois, Minnesota, and Michigan State while not losing a single other game. Minnesota probably got the best draw of everyone...they are the only one of the six teams that doesn't play nine games against the top group -- they play eight as they avoid playing at Michigan and they don't host Ohio State. |

Purdue and the postseason should no longer be talked about. Not sure why its a conversation. Painter needs to just worry about its players getting better and working towards becoming a team. Michigan and Indiana do have to play ranked teams on the road... but I really don't think that Illinois, OSU, or MSU are very good. Minnesota is a lot better than I thought, but I'm not exactly frightened of them. If I'm Michigan or Indiana, I feel pretty confident of the B1G road, unless they aren't really as good as we all thought. I think both teams should prove worthy. |

I think Cam is really devaluing the road screwage in the Big Ten. |

After seeing Michigan stomp Iowa... Im thinking the B1G title is theirs to lose. The only way IU will compete with them is if we can get Hollowell, Perea and Elston into good playing shape. The three are rusty and we need them... with them, we're about 10 strong... without them, we're running 7 deep... big diff |

My only hope is Burke and Hardaway are gone after this year. |

So our Georgetown win doesn't look all that impressive now. |

Michigan only up 6 with 8 minutes left at home against Nebraska. And that's with the home cooking -- 4 fouls called in 32 minutes on Michigan. |

Yeah, Nebraska isn't getting any favors, that's for sure. Louisville and Kansas also struggling tonight. |
