By Mike Portscheller, Big Ten Geeks, 4 years ago

As we sit on the cusp of postseason play for nine Big Ten teams, it feels an appropriate time to revisit where we were just four short months ago, previewing a season that was about to unfold before us. Did we nail it, or do we need to turn in our Geek cards?

Big Ten Geeks: Thoughts on Day 1

By Mike Portscheller, Big Ten Geeks, 4 years ago

The Gophers then struggled under the pressure, nearly turning it over twice before Austin Hollins stepped on
