Big Ten Conference Season Tip -off. Who's #1?

[BigTenGuy]

Too bad all around, BIgTenGuy, if most of the fans share your thoughts. This should be a peak moment in time for women's basketball in the Big Ten but it might turn off more people than not.

Good luck! If nothing else, the Iowa/Penn State game could be exciting.

Lisa Bluder has complained a few times this year about WBB fans being forced to endure general admission tickets (and early, long lines), while MBB fans almost always (except Wed. of Big Ten tourney) have all reserved tickets. Think she is on to something.

Spent the day at the Big Ten tourney. A few thoughts. The bottom-tier teams, in several cases injury depleted, are just bad basketball teams. Purdue, Wisconsin and Minnesota were just painful to watch on offense.

And Illinois (with their 7 for 24 shooter) isn't?

I haven't seen it widely reported but Eboni Walker has not been with the OSU team since Senior night against Michigan. Which, we noticed she wasn't even on the bench at some point during the 4 Quarter of that game and we haven't seen her with the team since. McGuff was asked about it around the Iowa game [practice before the game or after the game, can't remember] and he said she isn't with the team right now and isn't sure when she'd return. Hoping it's all okay and she can get back to the team, she's one the fan favorites.
