Northwestern 55, Minnesota 54 - what are you doing?
Iowa 81, Illinois 74

Texas 81, Kansas 69 - first bit of equity KU gave away in the conference.  just don't do it again and they'll be fine for the 1 line
Iowa St 81, Oklahoma 75
Baylor 76, Oklahoma St 70 - go figure.  You tell me what to do with Baylor
