1) Have not seen previous ranking, but hope IL is shortening the gap with PU and increasing it with the others.
2) OT here, but, what is up with Wisky? 7th in these rankings?

Wisconsin has a relatively inefficient offense (#52) and defense (#37) compared with the teams above it on KenPom but ranks 8th in the nation on the "luck" measure when it comes to wins. Purdue, for instance, has a crazy-efficient offense (#1) and a not-so-stellar defense (#126.)

Feel somewhat good about this game. If we come out of the gates well, with our crowd, should be a solid win. That being said, NW is on a roll and won 3 straight. Could be fun or could be a blow out early. I think the first 10 minutes dictate the game. Go Illini!
