A Look At Big Ten Men’s Basketball Standings

Just a quick look at the Big Ten basketball standings to get a gauge as to where Nebraska is in the conference.

Below are the current standings:

Purdue, Ohio State, and Michigan State are a cut above everyone else. Nebraska might be able to compete with them on a game-by-game basis on a neutral court (although Michigan State is pretty awesome), we’re not really worried about staying with them.

Nebraska wants to stay above the pack of goo that is the middle of the conference. Nebraska plays Penn State tonight and Illinois on Monday - both very winnable games. That would move the Huskers to 5-3, where one hopes Nebraska can stay in track with Maryland, Indiana, and Michigan and pick off some games against the top teams.

One might wonder what’s going to happen to Minnesota now that Reggie Lynch is dealing with suspension and expulsion due to sexual misconduct allegations.

Iowa finally won a conference game last night against Illinois! Good for those Iowa guys!
