Any predictions for this Friday? I see the following:
ILL vs. Purdue- 3-1 (Purdue) UW vs. IU- 3-0 (Wisconsin) OSU vs. Iowa- 3-2 (Iowa) PSU vs. Minn- 3-1 (PSU) M vs. NW- 3-2 (Michigan)
What will be the upset(s) of the weekend? Who is playing at their best right now?

Purdue is really an the upswing and playing well. I think Wisconsin is very good, but we will see if they have a hangover from Sunday. If I were Purdue I would love to have Wisky first this weekend.

I think the team everyone needs to be concerned about in the 2nd half is Ill. This team is pretty darn good, they just can't seem to score point 15. The Illini have two of the better seniors in the league in Brown and Alde. Penn State had no answer for either one of those girls on Friday.

Purdue over Illinois 3-2 Wisconsin over IU 3-0 OSU over Iowa 3-1 PSU over Minnesota 3-0 Michigan over N'western 3-1 I agree with that ... but ... Michigan State lost to Northwestern 31-33, 30-27, 27-30, 24-30 "The victory was the third in a row for the Wildcats, improving NU to 13-9 on the season, 4-7 in the Big Ten. The loss dropped the Spartans to 13-10 overall, 4-7 in the conference. " So... 1. Penn State 10-0 2. Wisconsin 9-1 3. Purdue 6-4 4. Michigan/Indiana/Minnesota 5-5 7. Illinois 4-6 8. Michigan State / Northwestern 4-7 10. Ohio State 3-7 11. Iowa 1-9 I think MSU will be mad they lost Wednesday, and beat Michigan, Saturday. I agree with HappyValley, Purdue will be looking ahead to Wisconsin on Sat, and IL will take them to 5. But then IL will be worn out, and lose to IU on Sat.

I think Pete will have the Badgers well prepared as he always does. The Boilermakers played well the last week...but Wisconsin did too. It could be a revenge match for Wisky after losing a controversial game. Is Dave running a 6-2? It looks like Gray and Hart both played last week. What's up?

Illinois may be the most under-appreciated team in the nation. This team beat Minnesota in four, lost to Penn State in 5, Purdue in 5, Indiana in 5, @ michigan in 5, Ohio State in 5, and beat Northwestern and Michigan State on the road. They also beat Iowa. Along with the tough-luck five game losses in conference play they lost on the road to Dayton (5-gamer) and LSU (5-gamer). Illinois is 4-5 stuff-blocks away from being a ranked team.

Is Gray playing? I thought Hart was running a 5-1?
