Hammer and Rails Readers Reacts – Big Ten Basketball Predictions

Final predictions for the men’s basketball season.

As we sit here waiting for the second game of the season to tip-off it felt appropriate that the reader reacts survey results arrived in my inbox. We’ve got a mix of sports being discussed here with basketball and football both making appearances. First, we look at football and the bleak nature of tomorrow’s game. If I’m remembering prior results correctly, the low point of fans who think Purdue would win a game was 8% houngan it might be 9%. With that in mind, how many of your fellow readers thought Purdue would come away with a victory?

Somehow 4% still seems pretty high given the circumstances Purdue finds themselves in heading into this game. Ohio State is a very good football team, Purdue is not.

Up next we take a look at where you all believe Purdue will finish in the conference standings. Now dear reader, you might be saying didn’t we do this already? You’re not wrong, but this question pushed you on if Purdue will win the conference. A simple yes or no.

Just over half of our readers think Purdue will pull off the Three-Pete. It should be an interesting season with the addition of 4 new teams to the conference.
