We are now into the second to last week of the regular season for Big Ten basketball. As fate would have it, there is still a four team race alive for the Big Ten regular season championship with a number of games between the contenders remaining. While Michigan has held a lead in the conference standings for the better part of two months thanks to a combination of a really good team, a really soft schedule and three weeks of not playing a game, they have not yet won the title.
To do so, they’ll need to beat both Iowa and Illinois down the stretch and avoid any stinkers along the way.
