Okay, in the Big Ten, we got Ohio State - Michigan tipping off in just a few minutes - as soon as I'm done with this, I'll get over to espn360.com and fire up that game.  Yes, I have a rooting interest in this game.  If by chance, the Wolverines beat my Buckeyes, then Zeke, you can go ahead and use your Michigan moniker in here and I won't object a bit...

After that will be the big game for many folks here - Wisconsin v. Illinois (tipoff approx. 1:25p).  Later today will be Purdue v. Northwestern, followed by Michigan St v. Minnesota.

Anyway, I figured rather than clutter up the Cubs game threads today with basketball stuff, feel free to deposit all your trash talking in this post.

I know there are other conferences out there - I imagine Kansas plays sometime today, so Dan should be on edge. And I'm guessing we have some ACC and SEC fans out there.  But after the Big Ten, my secondary interest is the Big East where both my favorite teams (Marquette and Georgetown) scored upsets yesterday (Villanova and Syracuse, respectively) and face each other this afternoon.

Let the games begin!!!
