Given the state of affairs with NU basketball you will have to forgive us for mailing this one in.
NU is now the favorite for the basement. Wisconsin has locked up first place. As mostly expected there is a heated race for second; only surprise is that Indiana and Purdue have a puncher's chance at it.
NU has sealed its fate for a losing season. Realistically 4 B1G is the Wildcat ceiling. Same goes for Rutgers. The impressive Badgers have a realistic shot of winning out but will likely drop one more game along the way. Other teams have a realistic ceiling of 13 wins.
