Sizing up Big Ten women's title contenders

The Big Ten Conference women's basketball race begins its final two weeks and more than half the league is within three games of first place. Thursday's results brought two upsets and there are more surprises to come. The 16th-ranked Purdue Boilermakers are hungry to remain atop the standings but must navigate a difficult road. 'This is our last chance,' said Brittany Rayburn, one of six seniors on the roster. 'I haven't had that taste of a regular season or tournament championship. That's something we want really bad.' Purdue (9-2) Remaining schedule: at Ohio State, today; Penn State, Thursday; at Michigan State, Feb. 19; at Michigan, Feb. 23; Indiana, Feb. 26. Key question: Is there enough offense to keep up with the Buckeyes and the Lady Lions? Analysis: Toughest schedule of the contenders, but the Boilermakers are rested after a week off. Program won seven titles in a 12-year span, but none since 2002. Need at least three wins to remain in contention. Penn State (9-3) Remaining schedule: at Northwestern, today; at Purdue, Thursday; Ohio State, Feb. 20; Minnesota, Feb. 26. Key question: Are the Lady Lions willing to play defense down the stretch? Analysis: Other than the trip to West Lafayette the schedule isn't daunting for the preseason choice by media and coaches. Beat Purdue and Ohio State and the championship likely moves to State College. Ohio State (8-3) Remaining schedule: Purdue, today; Indiana, Thursday; at Penn State, Feb. 20; Minnesota, Feb. 23; at Nebraska, Feb. 26. Key question: Can Tayler Hill and Samantha Prahalis carry the Buckeyes to the title? Analysis: After stumbling at Minnesota and Illinois, there's a question whether Ohio State can push through, especially with visits to Penn State and Nebraska. Win the home games, split on the road and the Buckeyes will be right there. Nebraska (8-3) Remaining schedule: at Minnesota, Monday; Northwestern, Thursday; Wisconsin, Feb. 19; at Michigan State, Feb. 23; Ohio State, Feb. 26. Key question: Can the Huskers score if they're not hitting 3-pointers? Analysis: Youngest team in the league will be challenged at Minnesota and Michigan State. Can't have a repeat of what happened Thursday against Michigan. Must win the home games to stay in the hunt. Michigan State (7-4) Remaining schedule: at Iowa, today; at Wisconsin, Thursday; Purdue, Feb. 19; Nebraska, Feb. 23; at Northwestern, Feb. 26. Key question: Will anyone slow down Porsche Poole, who is averaging 25.8 points the last four games? Analysis: Not a longshot but probably needs to win out to gain at least a share. Will need help but faces two contenders. Important game is today's matchup against the Hawkeyes.
