Huskers are back up to a 2 seed, probably because Gonzaga got beat by Portland and dropped down to a 3 seed. The Purdue game on the 10th (H) will be a good test of how healed everybody is, though we may get a good reading on that at Rutgers tomorrow, too. Mast needs to regain his shooting form, he was kind of a liability in the Illinois game. The Huskers should be favored in every remaining regular season game, though Purdue will be close to a toss-up.
Illinois racked up a 40 point victory over Northwestern, and Michigan one-upped them with a 41 point victory over Penn State. Illinois still has Michigan State on Saturday (A) and Michigan on the 27th (H) plus pesky Wisconsin (H).
