Big Ten Standings
Another 2-0 week for mighty Wisconsin who continues to run away with the Big Ten title. Is that cluster from 2-8 clearing up? Slightly a bit as there is now two games between 2nd and 8th place but thats still pretty darn close. Michigan  lurking in the 9th spot as well within striking distance of the top 8. Securing a spot in the top 8 is important to earn a first round bye in the Big Ten Tournament. The top 4 seeds earn a double bye.
