Yes, Indiana Will Go 0-18 (Big Ten Mens' BB Predictions)

I sat down last night and predicted every game on the Big Ten Mens' Basketball Schedule. Here is what I think the final regular season standings will look like on March 8th (The Ws and Ls in the parenthetical indicate each team's predicted wins and losses):


1. Michigan St.: 16-2 (LWWWWWWWWWWWLWWWWW)

2. Purdue: 14-4 (WWWWWLLWWWWWWWLWWL)

2. Wisconsin: 14-4 (LWWLWWWWWWWWWWLWLW)

4. Michigan: 12-6 (WWWWWWLWLLWLWWWWLL)

4. Minnesota: 12-6 (WWWWLLWWWLLWWLWLWW)

6. Ohio St.: 8-10 (WLLWLLLWWLWLLWWLLW)

7. Illinois: 6-12 (LLWLLWLLWLLLWWLWLL)

7. Northwestern: 6-12 (LLLLWLLWLLWLWLWWLL)

7. Penn St.: 6-12 (WLLLLWWWLLLLLLLWWL)

10. Iowa: 5-13 (LWLLLLLLLWWLLLLLWW)

11. Indiana: 0-18 (LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL)


Notes: I believe Indiana will lose all 18 games -- yes, they are that bad (see losses at home to Northeastern and Lipscomb). I predict Wisconsin will lose @MSU, @Purdue, @Minnesota and @Michigan. I predict that this is the year that MSU lives up to the preseason hype and wins the Big Ten. Now that the Spartans have Goran Suton back, I believe that they are a better team than Purdue.

For comparison purposes, here is what Ken Pomroy predicts for the final regular season standings:

1. Purdue: 13-5
1. Illinois: 13-5
3. Ohio St.: 11-7
3. Northwestern: 11-7
5. Michigan: 10-8
6. Michigan St.: 9-9
6. Minnesota: 9-9
6. Iowa: 9-9
9. Wisconsin: 8-10
10. Penn St: 7-11
11. Indiana: 1-17

Let's home that Pomroy is way off. However, last year he did predict that Wisconsin would win the Big Ten regular season title, which was against the grain at the start of the regular season
