Adjusted Big Ten Standings


Posted Feb 20, 2005


One of the most interesting things to watch in the Big Ten standings is the number of road wins versus home losses that the eventual Big Ten Champion records. Brumby decided to track these numbers as the conference season carries on, and this is the latest report with two weeks left in conference play.

How many Big Ten teams are going to get into the NCAA Tournament? Right now it looks like just three teams are a lock for the NCAA Tournament: Illinois, Michigan State, and Wisconsin.

There is still a team on the bubble: Minnesota.
