Indiana had moved up to number two in the rankings with their win over Minnesota. Now they lost to Wisconsin at home. Michigan, which was all ready to move up to number one with a win on Saturday, LOST instead. The Gophers are still ranked in the top 10 at number nine BUT it looks like everybody can beat everybody this year in the Big Ten.
What does that mean? Most of the Big Ten could probably finish in the top 20 this year. But because they'll keep knocking each other off, none will go much higher than 5 by the time the season is done.
Seven are in the top 25 right now depending on which poll you use.
For the Gophers, it means a long tough season. They need to win at home and they need to pull off some close road wins. It finally seems like old times. It's been two decades since they've had the opportunity to have a shot at the Big Ten title.
I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks. It's been along time since I've been interested in Gopher basketball. Please keep winning.
