Loss would really help Michigan in the long run... But I can't root for Ohio State either!!!
It does feel good to control our own density though...

If the buckeyes hold on and we take care of business tomorrow, we could deliver the knockout punch to the hawkeyes this weekend. Would put Michigan and Michigan State 4 clear of the field.

Iowa looks like shit. And I want them to win. I don't think they'll be winning the conference at this point so I'm personally not too threatened by them. I also just enjoy seeing Ohio lose, lose, lose more.

Ugh.  I liked it better when Ohio was in free-fall and headed for the NIT.

I'm not worried about Iowa catching us.  Their remaining schedule is too difficult.  I have no problem rooting for them.

Interestingly they have not been able to hit a three. I want Iowa in this one but it looks like OSU is going to take this. They've recovered nicely. I like Dakich but he has a complex against criticism.

Yeah, back to back wins at Wisky and Iowa is pretty solid.  Obviously the Big Ten seems to be a crapshoot but OSU's remaining schedule isn't that daunting on paper - only 3 road games (Illinois, PSU and IU) and 5 home games with MSU and UM being the only top teams left.  The other home games are Purdue, Minny and Northwestern).

OSU is playing well, as much as it pains me to say it. They're long, athletic and winning hustle plays...definitely playing to their strengths. Iowa certainly helped tonight by doing their best Purdue impression from 3, but I'm expecting a dogfight when we go to Cbus.

I want it to be our game tomorrow already, get the nasty taste of Indiana out of our mouths.  Hopefully we get a nice crisp game, flowing offense.  Seem to have been a bit lackadaisical and turnover-prone in our last two outings.

Didn't really root for OSU per se, but it was good to see Iowa lose in terms of Big Ten standings.  It is firmly between Michigan and Michigan State and we have a home date with them, perfect.

This game was on WFAN radio here in the NY/NJ area. That is our local sports radio. I can't remember a midwestern college game ever being on our station. Just seemed out of place. Weird.

Wisconsin and Iowa just had bad shooting nights.

Iowa was 3/20 from 3 point range.

Wisconsin was 3/17 from 3 point range.

This isn't Ohio State turning a corner, it's everybody focused too much on wins and losses more than quality of play.
