Agreed Moonlight. Very little in the way of gimmes' this season. If you're a Big 10 team and you want to avoid the bubble on March 15th, the games you absolutely can't afford to lose are vs. Indiana, Iowa & Northwestern (home or road) and Penn State (on your home court). ... and I don't think Iowa, NW & Penn State will be softies by any stretch. Certainly in the Gophers' case, those are the 6 games they have to get, maybe afford one slip-up.
Gotta' get 'em. ...
at Iowa (Jan. 8)
Penn State (Jan. 11)
