Thanks! My sources for the name were Steve McQueen, Sydney Pollack, and the Happy Mondays. In a documentary about the actor, director Sydney Pollack said that when he was directing McQueen, McQueen would say "you're twisting my melon, man." Pollack said McQueen talked so hip that he didn't understand what he was saying half of the time. The Happy Mondays later immortalized the words in their song Step On:

You're twisting my melon, man
You talk so hip, man
You're twisting my melon, man

Yep, almost to the halfway point for everyone and there are 9 teams with 4 or fewer Big Ten wins to this point so guessing this list will change a lot.

Washington looks like the only team that has a pretty tight death grip on one of those final 3 spots.

That would be a real bummer considering Washington is 0-5 in road games this year.

Washington is not a good team, but they are not incapable of jumping up and biting someone. Their one win was Maryland, albeit at home. If you haven't seen them play, they have a thick, but surprisingly agile big (Great Osobor) who can go off - he scored 28 in the loss to Purdue. He does most of his damage inside and at the FT line. Besides him, there isn't too much to worry about, and their defense is poor. But Osobor could make it interesting.

We definitely can't take anyone for granted. This is one we absolutely should win as long as we play the way we are capable of playing but with this team that is no guarantee.
