It is early February, so that means the Big Ten race is starting to come into focus. As usual, there are no easy games. Nebraska might be 0-11 in league play, but they are fighting hard with single digit losses in their last four games. They’ll bite someone.
Almost everyone has played 10 or 11 games of the 20 game schedule and we’re starting to get a bit of a hierarchy, but it is still chaos. Six teams are within two games in the loss column of first place. The league looks poised to get seven or eight teams into the NCAAs, with the rest needing miracle runs at this point in order to get into contention.
