At the halfway point of the B1G season, no team in the top 5 in the standings has beaten a top 5 team on the road. There have been 10 such games so far. As a testament to the weirdness of the conference schedule so far, 9 of the 10 games have involved either the Cats or Nebraska ( or both). The only of these games not involving a team named NU was Illinois at Purdue.
Purdue and Northwestern are the only teams to reach the halfway point without a loss to a team in the bottom 9.
The Cats game with Nebraska will be the last they have against a team in the current top 5.
While the Badgers have gotten the biggest break in the first half (home v. Cats and Huskers, road v. Nebraska), they have trips to Illinois and Purdue in the 2nd half.
Hats off to whichever of the top teams that actually get a road win against a top team. The Cats had their last chance on Wednesday.
