1/30/07 - Wednesday's Predictions

Ohio State at Purdue 6:00PM OSU Super Frosh Greg Oden may not play, he was in Terre Haute Tuesday mourning the loss of a high school friend and teammate who was killed in a car accident. With or without the big man, the Buckeyes should be able to hand Purdue their first home loss of the season. Buckeyes 65 Boilermakers 61 Wisconsin at Indiana 6:00PM UPSET ALERT! IU is yet to lose in Bloomington this season, and the Sampson defense should be able to do as well as anybody at slowing down Wisconsin's Tucker. The Badger's Big Ten win streak is stopped as Indiana hands them their first conference loss. Hoosiers 70 Badgers 67 Minnesota at Northwestern 7:00PM I'm not even going to waste my time and type up any analysis on this game. The 15 Wildcat fans in attendance should be happy at the final buzzer. Wildcats 54 Gophers 47 Iowa at Michigan 7:00PM Michigan has been very tough to beat at home so far this conference season, and the Hawkeyes have yet to win a single game away from home this year. But Iowa has been getting closer with every trip away from Carver-Hawkeye. Alford's Army final gets a road win and Michigan starts its annual descent down the Big 10 standings with this loss. Hawkeyes 70 Wolverines 68 Stay tuned for my Projected Big Ten Final Standings coming Thursday...
