And today's episode title is not hyperbole. Five great games of Big Ten hoops all get started on this fine Friday, as we have a top 20 tilt between No. 7 Iowa and No. 19 Illinois in Champaign. This is a game Big Ten fans have been waiting for all season long. These two teams do not like each other. They are not friends. There is no love lost, as some may say. And there is no better person on the face of the planet to preview this game (and the 4 others) than the one they call "Lucy Sports Jokes" Lucy Rohden. Lucy is back on the podcast to talk about her alma mater's monumental matchup versus the Illini, and give you her picks for our Locked On Locks and Underdog Specials for this weekend of Big Ten basketball.
