Please check out the results from last week's poll.

It was another crazy week for Big Ten Basketball. Illinois pulled off a shocker against Minnesota and laid an egg against Penn State. The Wolverines are on a three game winning streak. I'll say that again, the Wolverines are on a three game winning streak. In basketball. One over those wins was over Iowa who continues to keep everyone guessing. Here is the power poll for this week.

If we can pull off a winning record

it is possible that we go to the newly formed College Basketball Invitational, so that gives a better shot at a tournament. I just found out about this thing so I figured I would share.

JoePa is my hero.
