Iowa probably prefers a MSU win too. Otherwise MSU is going to start dragging down our wins against them and our RPI as MSU slips in to average status.

There is that, I just want some more cushion going into our game @ MD since we only play them 1 time and at their place the more losses MD can get the better shot we got at a title!

One of the bigger games of the year in the B1G to determine who will win the conference.

This Maryland MSU game is the Spartan's biggest of the year possibly. Something tells me Little Tommie will have the boys locked and loaded.

Good, this will be huge down the road for Iowa if they do.

Take a good look at Maryland's schedule and try to find a good win.

For the rest of the regular season for that matter. Obviously nothing is guaranteed but I'm happy to have the team and coach out of the way who has a lot of titles already. Maryland, IU and Purdue are obviously historically pretty solid. But recently, the programs and coaches are not nearly as seasoned in winning titles like Tom.

So comparing MD, IU, Purdue and MSU. Since we are done playing MSU, I will move on but I think we need them to play spoiler role and provide some losses to other teams at top of standings. Maryland is probably the most gifted team athletically in the conference so it is a matter of playing under control and managing their athletic plays because they will happen. Purdue is very well coached, I think Painter is excellent coach. This type of team scares me most. IU has Crean, enough said since he can screw it up.
