An instructive matchup between two of the mid-tier teams in the Big Ten. The Cornhuskers are 2 and 3 over their last five games while Minnesota is 1 and 4. A Minnesota win I think clouds the assertion that the Big Ten will get nine teams in the big dance.
Over the past 2 weeks:
The Cornhuskers edged Wisconsin at home while the Gophers lost big-time to Wisconsin. Alternatively the Gophers handled Purdue while the Cornhuskers lost to the Boilermakers.
Some may see this parity as a sign of strength of the conference. I take the view that perhaps the middle and bottom of the Big Ten is weaker than Massey or others might contend.
Should be a great game however. Go Huskers!
