Unless Trey Burke and Michigan are able to steal the Big Ten title from IU on the last game of the season. That would be awfully convincing. |

The Indiana/Michigan State game was a hell of game between two top teams. The Kansas/Oklahoma State game is in double OT, but....these teams aren't on Indiana or Michigan State's level of play. |

I agree about OSU, but I think Kansas is one of the best teams in the country. Their offense struggles at times, but as games typically slow down in the later rounds of the NCAA tournament, I think their defense will be big time for them. |

Mid B1G? As in like 6th? If you think that, you're crazy. They lost a really close game on a neutral court to MSU earlier in the year, and beat OSU at OSU pretty handily earlier in the year. I'd say they are definitely better than UW and Minnesota. I'd put them on the same plane as MSU and Michigan, and probably a touch worse than Indiana if both are playing well. |

Operative words are 'earlier in the year'. A week and a half ago they lost three straight games to unranked teams including a TCU team that is on the level. I think you are being way too generous toward them. I would say they are a touch worse than Michigan and Michigan State.....so not mid Big Ten, but there are three teams in the Big better than them.

That's what I was thinking before reading your 2nd post. The thing that scares me about Oladipo's meteoric rise is that it's been so sudden. I wonder if some voters have a predisposed notion from earlier in the year that Burke is the best. There's still lots of time left. Plenty of time for Oladipo to steal it or for someone else to take it away. Although, I'd say it's Oladipo's to lose at this point. I haven't heard a single person from ESPN or the B1G say anyone other than Oladipo in the last week. |

Maybe I'm biased, but my God that Oklahoma State Kansas game was the most boring 2 OT game I've ever seen. Both teams were gassed yet continued to jack up horrible jump shots. Glad to see others mention that at this point in the season, they aren't in MSU or IU's league. |

Well, maybe we were wrong. ESPN straw poll has Burke still in the lead. Oladipo didn't even garner a vote in 19 of the ballots. One thing we may have forgotten about is Cody Zeller. He still got 9 votes. It's possible Oladipo and Zeler split some votes that would otherwise just go to one of them, thereby bringing down both their numbers. http://espn.go.com/blog/collegebasketballnation/post/_/id/76785/oladipo-keeps-pace-in-poy-straw-poll Edited by dreachon, Feb 21 2013, 11:12 AM.

I mentioned that scenario to a friend of mine. I have no idea how much credence goes to that thought-process, but I think it's quite possible. |

Wisky with 2 fouls at the half with 1 being called in the last 3 minutes of the half.....on the road. Is it even possible, in this day and age, for a D1 school to only commit 2 fouls in a half? I have a very hard time believing that. |

It is hard to believe -- especially as physical as Wisconsin is....but I actually watched most of the first half and didn't think there were that many missed calls. Northwestern is just that passive and don't put themselves into any kind of position to receive a foul. |

I would tend to agree and tried to use that in my thinking....but 2??? It just seems almost impossible that there weren't 2-3 other play that we're suspect in 20 minutes of CBB....it really doesn't matter who is playing. Hell, if we go by Lars numbers there were at least .6 unintentional/intentional nut shots in that half....it happens all the time ;) |

SLU/Butler right now. Should be a great game. SLU has been absolutely on fire and they beat Butler in St. Louis. |

I'd say St.Louis just punched their ticket. Season sweep of Butler and most likely will win A10 regular season crown. Even an early A10 tourney exit won't keep them from an at large bid. |
