Final 12 Games - My predictions:
PUR - L, at PSU - W, at OSU - L, MINN - W, at MARY - W, NEB - W, MICH - W, MSU - L, at NEB - W, NW - W, at MICH - L, at ILL - L
7-5 Overall - 4-2 at home, 3-3 on the road
11-9 Big 10 Record, 21-10 overall heading into the Big 10 Tourney.
Biggest swing games are beating MICH at home and pulling off a road win at Maryland.
Michigan is playing well right now so the THU, FEB 17 match-up with MICH at 6PM in Carver becomes the most important victory left on the schedule.
The road win at Maryland won't be easy as Illinois just got smoked at Maryland, but Hawks can definitely pull off a road win in College Park.
My guess at the final Big 10 Standings:
1. MSU
2. WIS
3. PUR
4. ILL
5. OSU
6. IND
7. IOWA
8. MICH
9. RUT
10. NW
11. MARY
12. MINN
13. PSU
14. NEB
Iowa gets a first round Big 10 Tourney match-up with NW in the 7 vs 10 game, and then advance to play #2 seed WIS
If the Hawks win their 1st round BTT game they get a #7 seed in the NCAA tourney. If they drop their first game in Big 10 Tourney they drop to a #9 seed.
