Cannot wait. Going to be a battle!
Battle for 2nd place in the BIG on Sunday at 5:30
- Thread starter Chishawk1425
- Start date
2 of about 5 teams. Big game, but they all are big going forward, as long as you keep winning.
Crazy to think this team is 2 wins.... MSU and Wisconsin ... from battling 1st place
Let’s hope Konner has another stellar Assist/TO game
MSU really hurts. Make fts you normally make that's a win.
Hawks don't lose at home to Wisky if Kris is on the floor.
No doubt about that. MSU was a defeat snatched from the jaws of victory though.
Well Michigan was a win snatched from jaws of defeat. So it evens out.
Nebraska was a bad road loss as was Penn State those are the killers. Ohio State on road too.
Can't argue that. Wisconsin the difference then. Nebraska the Abomination of the BIG season. Look out they are playing good. Tough last game of reg season?
Indiana after Race Thompson got hurt was pretty fortunate as well
Buckeyes on the road too. I think they have 1 win since Jan 1st.
So hard to win in the road. Lots very good teams around the country have lost to some .500 teams or below on the road.

And if we had taken care of business & beaten #343 ranked Eastern Illinois, we would be looking at a much better NCAA Tournament seed than a #6 or a #7.
IU was up 21 against us, IIRC. Their fans would love to have that game back, too.
We are a flawed team and our record indicates that.
Can't look back; need to move forward and kick ass.
Yeah, just ask Purdue how it feels losing on the road to Northwestern & now Maryland
Konnar McAfee was dropping nickels tonight. Terry Strauss would have loved to have him at QB.
Always and forever.
It hurts to think about, but if had been the reverse of the outcomes of the EIU, Wisky & @MSU games and Iowa is on the 3-line in most bracketologists' predictions right now.
4 for sure.
Yes we lost some we should not have and we won some that it is easy to say we should have lost.....I am just surprised after being 0-3 in the BT we are in a spot to play for a 2nd place tie right now. Enjoy the ride I guess! BEAT NW!
Just looking at the next 4 games. It’s gonna be a small miracle if Fran’s not ejected at least once over the next few weeks
jNW winning those two big games this week might actually be good for us.
Hard to stay on that kind of emotional high for 3 straight games.
I like the Hawks chances on the road.

I think that is pretty much a unanimous thought across the entire B1G. Gard's "not us" persona and his team of "choirboys" just isn't selling, except to Badger fans.
Are you talking about Connor and Trey Strauss?? Or do just like to mangle first names for giggles?
Nah, the low energy Northwestern Mildcats are a regular season team of destiny this year.
Bet the farm on the Cats, especially if they're ML underdogs.
Thanks to @Alum-Ni for doing the scores/standings thread.
There is starting to be some separation between the top 7 and bottom 7 teams.
The battles this weekend for positioning for the 2, 3 & 4 slots for the B1G Tournament are going to be sweet.

We've discovered some novel ways to lose in Evanston. Maybe it's time to flip that scene.
