Indiana has played the easiest league schedule in the Big Ten to date according to Ken Pomeroy, and now will close with six of its last nine games against likely NCAA tournament teams – including Iowa twice. West Virginia, which has lost three of its past five, has seven games remaining against likely tourney teams, including consecutive Tuesday trips to Iowa State, Kansas and Texas and a regular-season finale at Baylor. Pomeroy lists Notre Dame as an underdog in its next five games: at Miami, North Carolina, at Clemson, Louisville, at Georgia Tech.
