We can now, officially, give up on winning a share of the Big Ten as Purdue fans. The Boilers absolutely needed to win in Bloomington to have a legitimate chance. Now, it would take far too much for the one and only one scenario the Boilers need to win a share of the crown:
- Purdue would have to win its last three games.
- Indiana would have to lose its last three games to Illinois, Iowa, and Maryland
- Iowa would have to lose to Wisconsin, Ohio State, and Michigan, but beat Indiana
- Maryland would have to lose to Illinois at home because it would still need to beat Indiana on the road and lose to Purdue on the road.
