YESTERDAY
There actually was a game of interest yesterday. I have heard that if Iowa were to win another game this season and we beat USC, the Trojans would miss the Big Ten Tournament.
Iowa led until the 10-minute mark, but eventually lost to Michigan State by 7. Iowa has one last game at Nebraska on Sunday that KenPom gives them a 27% chance of winning. A Bruin can hope.

Memphis -13.5 vs South Florida. Some folks have Memphis ahead of us. Others have Memphis behind us. In the AAC, there aren't a lot of teams that can compete with them.
For Purdue +4.5 at Illinois, there still appears to be one scenario where we get a #4 seed in the Big Ten Tournament.
Purdue loses at Illinois (58%)
Wisconsin loses at Home to Penn State (12%)
UCLA beats USC (79%)
Maryland beats Northwestern at home. (81%)
That's about a 4% chance of getting a #4 seed. So if you want to root for Illinois tonight, have at it. An Illinois win raises our chances to 11%.
