Tell me about the NEW Big Ten

5 to go for Iowa including tOSU, UCLA and Michigan. I've followed them closely this season. Olson had a slump during the losing streak, but has played great in past 2 v USC and NE. (60 points). Could still end up 9-9 in conference.

With nice development of freshmen, they now go 9 deep. Freshman Guyton is a quick guard in KK Arnold mode. Guyton can be paired next year with recruit Addie Deal to make a solid young backcourt. Stuelke back next year too as senior post. Add in a couple returning shooters, and they will have a similar team to current.

Exactly. So for those on the Iowa board saying Jensen can't coach, they need to "touch some grass" as they say. It's not that I'm a huge Iowa fan but man, give Coach Jensen a chance to get settled into her role and let's see how things play out. She hasn't been a head coach for a full season, let alone a few years.

Michigan St. thumped Wisconsin by 20.

Purdue over Northwestern by 15. With several recent games between them, bottom 5 of the Big 10 are now 8-57 in conference.

Michigan outscored Indiana 31-21 in Q4 for the come from behind win 70-67. Could we be seeing a little bit of separation among that huge blob in the middle of the B1G standings?

Agree with you on Iowa fans needing to give Jensen a chance to settle into the job. Still, among the biggest criticisms of Jensen was her insistence in trying to play Stuelke at the 4, and pairing her with O’Grady at the 5. Iowa has played better after Stuelke was moved back to the 5, and the general abandonment of the combined pairing of O’Grady and Stuelke.

Washington led almost the whole game, but Oregon takes the lead at :12 seconds left and wins 68-67. Washington had a last shot and it was taken by a bench player, Coppinger, who had taken...zero shots this game prior to that. What?! Are you kidding me?

Fire Langley! 5-8 in conference, going absolutely nowhere.
