Mich loss leaves only 4 teams that can win B1G!

[ROCKY MOUNTAIN HAWK]

If 14-4 is the worst record that could be co-champs, only Iowa, Wis, Mary, & Ind remain! Still think if we can go 3-2 we'll be co-champs. Any record better should win it outright!

I'm not worried about Wisconsin. At Michigan State, At Purdue, At Iowa? I'm not real big worried about Indiana as long as we beat them in Carver. I could see them easily falling to five losses. Maryland is my concern. And why I think it may take 15-3 to win the Big Ten.

Heck of a fun ride to be on though.

totally agree. however, i see them dropping a game to an also-ran at some point soon. Melo has been slumping lately and I feel like it will catch up with them. could it happen to us too? absolutely. but I think--with the way we're constructed--it's far less likely to happen to the Hawks. 15-3 wins this outright, 14-4 is a near-lock to at worst share the title.

Wisky is the only team to beat Maryland @ Maryland in two years. Don't count them out.

Not saying any of the top teams in the B1G are going to lose out, but why do you say that 14-4 is the worst record that could be co-champs?

I'm almost positive there is a scenario that plays out that could have a 6 way tie at 11-7.

In fact, I don't think Nebraska is technically eliminated yet since they are 5.0 games back with 5 left to play. They are currently 9th in the Big Ten.

Before the season started I looked at the top teams schedule & figured even the best teams in the B1G would have 4 losses. Looking like that may come true.

you are truly amazing. an inspiration in fact.

Funny how the hero posts guaranteeing 17-1, then 16-2, have recently gone away. Hawks just need to keep preparing for the next opponent, and I think it will work out.

9-way tie for Big Ten title

9-way tie for Big Ten title

That is awesome. Wonder what the tie breakers are

A 9 way tie is STILL a championship.

Pretty sure I read the handbook and it's a WWF style Battle Royal of coaches. Hopefully Fran draws #9 and it's him and Crean left. Fran comes in like the Ultimate Warrior, clotheslines Crean over the top rope, and Howard Finkel announces "Tom Crean has been..........ELIMINATED"

Thanks! I try my best most days, not everyday though. In all seriousness, I've been posting threads about 14-4 all year. Have to find a way to go 3-1 down the stretch to be co-champs now.

After tonight still a 4 team race.

Iowa I think loses at OSU and wins the rest to be honest. UM is a tough team, but they have struggled at times and they are not big in the post. Iowa can/should pound it down low against them.

OSU is not good either, but on the road can be tough there.

Man I hope you're right cuz 14-4 will get us co-champs & I'll take it! Don't see it happening after big loss tonight though. Needed to win tonight so we could lose 2 of last 4.
