The Big Ten Tournament starts Wednesday evening with the four worst teams in the conference duking it out. You’re going to watch because the winner of the Nebraska/Penn State slap fight will play Wisconsin in the next round. I make fun because I’m nervous that the winner will beat the Badgers since, you know, PSU already has done that this year and Nebraska has already beaten the Nittany Lions which by the transitive property mean Nebraska is better than Wisconsin even though Wisconsin has beaten Nebraska twice.
Yeah, that math checks out.
Anyways, let’s take a look at the two games that are happening tonight and see if a deep dive into the analytics can help us parse out who is going to win.
