The race in Big Ten men's basketball is absolutely exciting right now. Iowa remains atop the conference, but I don't think anyone outside of Johnson County expects them to remain there for long. Michigan State is moving into the home part of their schedule, while others, like the Fighting Illini, have lots of work to do on the road.
Last night the Ohio State Buckeyes took it to the Michigan Wolverines in fine fashion, walking away with the first big Ben Ten road win for 2nd year coach Thad Matta.
Without doubt, the Hawkeyes are right there, but didn't steal a possible win at Northwestern this week.
IF Illinois can take care of business in Columbus, and avoid slip-ups like last week's debacle against the Nittany Lions, anything is possible.
To even have a chance to tie for the Big Ten regular season title, the champs will have to take care of business, home and away, and have a lot of success against the top talent in the conference.
