Televised Big Ten Basketball This Week

3 televised Big Ten games this week, hopefully all feature great performances by the Lavinberger Team.

2/5 Super Tuesday: 7pm ESPN
Michigan vs Ohio State

There will be no reason to watch this game for the basketball since Michigan is horrible (2nd to last in the Big Ten), and are on a 5 game Big Ten losing streak. However, they were capable of beating Northwestern, which has yet to win a game in the Big Ten.
avg ppg: Michigan 65, Ohio State 68.7
opp ppg: Michigan 71.5, Ohio State 60

2/7 Thursday: 9pm ESPN
#11 Indiana vs Illinois

This game could be interesting if Illinois shows up to play. Big announcing stories of the game: Erin will probably be giving us more information on Eric Gordon's wrist than we care to know about. Pretty sure Brent and Steve will attribute Indiana's loss to Wisconsin last Thursday to Gordon's left hand. Maybe his wrist will be healed by Thursday! But then Erin will be out of a job, and Eric Gordon's dad will be able to watch the game in peace. The other big story is that Eric Gordon verbally committed to going to Illinois, but changed his mind and is now leading the Hoosiers with 21.4 points per game. My Friend is still upset about this.
avg ppg: Indiana 77.1, Illinois 65.1
opp ppg: Indiana 62.1, Illinois 61.7

2/9 Saturday: 2pm ESPN
Iowa vs Minnesota

The only possibility for this game to be interesting to watch is if Brent and Steve are out of their minds wasted. Both teams are in the middle of the Big Ten standings, and neither myself or My Friend are at all interested in Iowa or Minnesota. Interesting stat: Minnesota has the best turnover margin in the Big Ten and Iowa has the worst.
avg ppg: Iowa 56.9, Minnesota 73.7
