Up Three, Time Running Out, Do We Foul? The First Comprehensive CBB Analysis " Harvard Sports Analysis Collective
Fouling when down 3 not nearly as effective a strategy as TV announcers would have you believe. Looking into whether calling a timeout when you're down by 3 is a good thing or not next. Intuitively, I think not; more likely to get a good look when the defense is scrambling. Glad Izzo went against his usual instincts vs. Maryland, needless to say. -

Our current pretty good linebacker ranked as the best player in the entire country. Was skeptical when I first saw this, but you can make a plausible argument given that 2 of the next 4 players are also Big Ten guys (Clay/Clayborn). (HT: SpartyOn37) -

Alvarez: UW and Iowa to go separate ways
Big Ten will not be keeping it simple, stupid. Article implies they're taking the win-loss data very seriously; MSU in bottom 4-team tier. Going to 9 conference games starting in 2015. -

Definitive take on the topic. Michigan and OSU should be in the same division, continue to play final week of the season. -
Tea leaves say Iowa in division with Nebraska, Michigan, MSU, Illinois and Northwestern | GazetteOnline.com
[Added] Alvarez's comments, along with Brandon's recent comments about Michigan and OSU being split up, making this scenario look more likely. A bit of a tough break if Wisconsin is really our fixed rival, as that would mean playing 4 of traditional 6 upper-division teams every season.
