Minn-Rutgers. 4 minutes, 4-0 Rutgers. Wow, it's like watching 2 jr. high school teams playing their first season.

Friday seed can we opt for winner of game two? We should get to choose, right? These guys are awful.

For someone who was able to watch the Iowa/Ill. game: was the refereeing as lopsided as the box score suggests or did Illinois foul every possession for the last several minutes?

Played hack a Hawkeye defense. It did not look unfair to me.

Illini last in the country in fouls against, so it wasn't unexpected

At the rate they're going they'll be in the bonus before they get a fieldgoal.

Reruns are more appealing than this game.

Wonder how many times a team has beat another team 3 times in one season. It's not some low number I'm sure but I'd be curious to hear that statistic. C'mon BTN, get your stat people on top of that one.

OSU has a chance for 3 season losses against PSU next game (probably)

But I think with the injuries and the Lynch suspension he has another year to show that the program is moving in the right direction. But another year like this and he's toast.

They had a pretty good year last year. I’d say he should have two more but I don’t follow them closely.

I'm not so sure. So far, 100% of coaches that have lost to Rutgers in the Big Ten Tournament were fired in the suceeding offseason. ;)

of Minnesota AND Rutgers as they are performing right now. The three people in attendance are being treated to the worst advertisement for B1G basketball imaginable.
