Hoiberg probably still a bit amped and wanted to get his attention.

But I think he’s just saying I meant to hit that kid not you and the asst is we good.

Brandon Schrock of Laredo, Texas, told the federal government that his employer was “poop,” and his occupation was “pooper.”

Worst part of his tough guy act is that he’s instilled a soft culture in other ways.

Agree with you 100%. You yell at the kid, and sit him down on the bench.

Then in the locker room you call him out, but then call out the team for the fact that at least that kid had some care and effort in the moment.

I held out on fully buying in on this team because I don’t think Burnett and Gayle are good enough. But those 2 guys emerging off the bench and taking more of the minutes make them more dangerous.

If the role players aren’t hitting threes they’re really easy to defend.

And Cluff is basically unplayable at this point now that teams have figured out he’s useless on the perimeter. Don’t have to guard him on offense when he sets screens and he can’t guard the perimeter on D

If a Big Ten title means a lot to you, then naturally you’d root for Purdue.

If getting the best possible seed in the tournament is your top priority, then we really need Michigan to win. Purdue’s schedule sets up really nicely for them to eventually get to the 2 line even if they lose tomorrow, but a win tomorrow makes it exponentially more likely.

I also don’t view the BT title as very valuable measure of program success anymore. You obviously had a great year if you win it, but if we finish 16-4 in the B1G and get a 2 seed in the NCAA tournament, that team would have more than met all my goals for the season and there is no part of me that would lament the fact that we didn’t win the Big Ten.

And I think that the publicity that comes with winning the BTT has now elevated the stature of that as well, particularly as regular season titles become less meaningful. If you can keep showing up frequently in the game that is the lead-in to Selection Sunday on CBS, that’s super valuable from a program visibility standpoint.

There’s also still that weird thing that happened in the Covid year where it sure seemed like that team might have cared too much about winning the Big Ten, and then struggled to get back up again for the actual NCAA Tournament. Don’t think that is reason to think one way or another on this topic, but I do think you can muddy the waters a bit by focusing too much on something that isn’t the ultimate goal.

It looks fun and all to win the whole thing. But I'd prefer to just make it to the Saturday game and then lose to give an add'l days rest. The title game just doesn't seem to move the needle much anymore for seeding purposes because it finishes so late in the afternoon.

Unless you need it just to make the tournament anyways so that you're not on the bubble, I don't know if winning the tournament carries as much value as it used to.

I think both scenarios can happen although the conf title is a bit of a long shot now especially if scUM wins tonight.

We hold our own destiny. Besides scUM there really isn't one opponent left that we should not heavily be favored in. Barring any more health issues, we really have no business losing to anyone else. It would be a huge disappointment if we lost to anyone besides scUM.

Win out and throw in a stumble along the way from scUM and we can at least tie for the title. Win out or throw in only 1 more loss can still secure a very high seed.

If I have to pick one tonight, Purdue all day long. Quite frankly I wouldn't mind seeing them kick scUM's ass!

I disagree with your premise. We win out and win the B1G, we're the top 2 and possibly a 1.

I don't care if Purdue is a 2 as well in that scenario.

Need Michigan to lose 1 besides us. This is a good (possibly the best) chance of that happening.

Yes if we win out, we're probably slightly ahead of Purdue in that pecking order, but I'd rather not chance it.

But, that still doesn’t guarantee us St Louis. Definitely a jump on Purdue for that.
