Forgot Mellon in 800 and they will score at least 20 in men's mile. Starting to shape up just like when they stole title last time they hosted at home!

I think you're severly underestimating IU and does Michigan have any distance runners?

Well, he did rabbit at the last indoor meet.

Michigan has a bunch of distance runners, they just arent good.

Mick did just fine lying.
Here goes a math lesson for rest of the Big Ten and how Wsiconsin will go up against 1-4 Minnesota heptathlon and throwers.
800 Beth, Rucks for 10 points
Two Zachs in the 800, plus Luck Rucks
Wisconsin always pursues the multis and Greziack (spelling?) will contend for a top spot. They have another guy who is pretty good as a freshman from Illinois that so far is competing unattached (he may go around 5.00m in his first year vaulting). I doubt this new stud goes, but others will pick up lesser points, although I do not know the Hept depth in the Big Ten.
It will be hard to beat Penn State in the DMR as they have some serious wheels in two new guys.
Their top long sprinter is back and may make inroads in the 400 or 600.
They also have Larkin, who beat Hemsborough a couple of weeks ago, as well as some LJ guys who should pick up points even if they are not at the top (although one of them has already hit the top rung before).
Ahmed looked less strong than I expected him to (he took the lead in the race and then faded over the last lap or two.
It seems that Minnesota and Wisconsin always come to the meet prepared. For others, the results are more inconsistent year to year.
Michigan has been under a huge training volume and plan to come out in full force this weekend with a bunch of 4-low miles and 8-low 3000m runs for them. They have absolutely nothing else going on though for their team.
IU is for real and I anticipate them winning the DMR rather easily (Penn State doesn't have a great miler except for the super inconsistent Borchers)
I see Wisconsin winning this meet easily and not just distance runners. Their sprinters are really establishing themselves (ranked 2,3 in the 200m for example). There is no way Gophers sweep the multi; Badgers will have 1 guy in top 4 for sure.
Many things will change this weekend after Washington.

Recently Michigan has been very strong at the top (i.e, 1sts possible in the 100, 200, 110h, 400, 800) but very thin thereafter. Take out two or three guys and there is not much 'there' there.
After the departure of Adam Harris and 2 400 hurdlers, it's as empty as can be. Lucky to finish higher than 6th or 7th this year!
Forys returns and will run under 8:00 this weekend guaranteed!
hmmmm....Minnesota 13 in the mile, Wisconsin 9 nice pick
