After looking at the numbers so far this season, our men's basketball bloggers have some interesting requests. Read Part I here, read Part II here, and read all of their work right here before another busy weekend of men's basketball, including two Saturday games on BTN/BTN2Go.

Also, for the month of December BTN has been offering fans the chance to take a survey involving the issues that come with Big Ten expansion and realignment. These questions touch on men's and women's basketball, specifically when it comes to possible divisions.
We want you tell us where you stand, too. Give us your answers in the survey over on this page. Thousands of people have already completed it, and the final survey results will be sent to the Big Ten Conference office.
