Another road loss, to Rutgers, in OT, despite leading for most of the first and second half.
They’re 0-5 in conference play and their next two games are both at home against #16 Illinois and #10 Nebraska.

Our scheduled has been pretty easy looking at the quad games having only 3 Q1 games but we have 10 Q1 games upcoming so better buckle up.
Yeah, the schedule does seem back-end loaded, with 2 games against Nebraska, another against Illinois, Michigan and Purdue left on the schedule. All ranked teams.
The PFOW (to borrow from the Bottom Ten) will be NU vs Maryland.
The Cats have been in most games this year, Illinois only won by 11 and it was still a two-score game in the final 4 minutes. I hope they get hot and knock off some teams (but not Nebraska.)
As they were saying on the game last night, the Big Ten tournament will include all 18 teams this year, with the bottom four playing on Tuesday. A bottom four team that makes it to the championship game would have to play 6 games in 6 days. As brutal as it is unlikely.
