Sam need to work on his math skills.  It is 152.29.  I've got it at 118 for all 27 games...

St. Louis has some players.

I think NW and PSU will really be hurting this year.

But MSU, Wisconsin, Iowa and Illinois are going to be really good.

I don't think Purdue will be as good as expected (25th at KenPom) & I'm still not sold on Rutgers (27th). 

I'd add Minnesota to the teams struggling.  I don't think the kid from UNI will help as much as some people think.

Iowa will only be really good if they play a little defense.  They will be able to score, but if they don't stop anyone...

Dang it!  I was just about to reply to him about that!!

Rutgers is going to be a nasty team this year.  They will beat the s#!t out of teams on defense.  

i would not put them in the top 4 in the Big Ten but they in the 5-7 range.

Top 4 will be (in no order), MSU, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.

Loads of other players participating in the Golden Window Classic in the top 20 mid-major players per The Athletic. Should be a really good event.

I didn't say they aren't good, I just don't see them as the 27th best team.  I think they are pretty much the antithesis of Iowa - all world on defense but not much offense.  They are going to have to shoot the ball better than last year to change my mind.  I think they are an NCAA tournament team, but probably more of an 9-10 seed not a 6-7 seed that being the 27th best team would imply.  Obviously we will know more as the season plays out.

 
According to Kenpom, the Huskers will lose the remaining 21 games.  In fact, we don't have more than a 31% chance to win any of them.   :(
