Just a feeling but I’ll be very surprised if Nebraska makes the S16 *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Very surprised?*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Or very, very surprised?

Izzo says Fears did nothing wrong with the nut kick and blames Cadeau instead.
Posted by OB25
|
Izzo is garbage. That play was obvious. In a tight NCAA game, Fears will do something cray*
Posted by cpsteine
|
Tom also thinks Larry Nasser did nothing wrong *
Posted by ATL
|
If Fears transfers he'll be the dirtiest player in recorded history (according to Tommy). *
Posted by osklister
|
If he did nothing wrong then why did he need to get chewed out, Tom?
Posted by IlliniSax05 MAJOR UPDATE: "Maybe you're not such a bad egg, Lisle-y"
|
Then why'd I have the bowl, Bart?
Posted by Sammich
|
And why does he keep getting technical/flagrant fouls?*
Posted by shua
|
One-sided? LOLOLOLOL*
Posted by bjl63
|
Do we know what time we play on Friday?*
Posted by illini21
|
Unless they changed it, would be the second game of the early window. So like 1:30-2:00 probably*
Posted by OB25
|
Jesus, Iowa. Talk about fragging yourself with your own grenade*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
So we got Wisconsin Friday then *
Posted by jdl
|
Poison Boyd’s food Friday morning*
Posted by bjl63
|
We got burned all day by non-shooters making shots. That Jacobsen guy can’t shoot at all*
Posted by OB25
|
I hope Men’s CBB never adopts the rule that advances the ball to midcourt after a TO
Posted by bjl63
|
It’s also a rule that makes absolutely no sense*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
I guess it’s to encourage last second shots but imagine a world without
Posted by bjl63
|
Yes, awful rule *
Posted by jdl
|
UFI making it interesting *
Posted by jdl
|
Stirtz has to be an absolute killer every time he plays when Im not watching
Posted by Ron McDon
|
You can't speed him up!!! (Ioway conference record this season: 10-10. Maybe try to get him going?)
Posted by osklister
|
Mast allowed to pick defenders off with his ass apparently *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Well I’ll be damned*
Posted by OB25
|
Boom tied*
Posted by illini222
|
Lawrence drills a game winning 3 against us. Can’t hit FTs against UFI*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Man I miss Morez*
Posted by nash
|
I hope he goes to the nba after this season*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
I'm afraid he won't. doesn't have that outside game. could be around for 4 years. we should throw
Posted by cpsteine
|
He’s in most 1st round mock drafts seen, but in the last 1st. Similar to Yaxel last offseason.
Posted by OB25
|
Yep. I never want to think about him again*
Posted by opossum jenkins
|
I know the woman's games are more likely to be lopsided but damn

Duplicate *
Posted by QcIlliniFan
|
Iowa stinks, 4 seed it is. Beat Wisconsin.*
Posted by OB25
|
Iowa back within 4. (Fake?) rallying. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Iowa within 2 as Jamarcus Lawrence misses the front end of two 1 and 1s*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
This game is tits*
Posted by illini21
|
Yaxel locking up BTPOY today*
Posted by Blazer
|
Iowa just has no Big Ten caliber offensive talent besides Stirtz. Really hard to watch.*
Posted by OB25
|
If Iowa wins do we get the BTT #3?*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Yes*
Posted by OB25
|
TY*
Posted by OWWDig
|
Fears with another kick to the balls, but his coach is Izzo so nothing will happen *
Posted by meanjeans

JOLIET WEST TIGERS *

Navy won the Patriot league by 6 (!) games
Posted by jdl
|
Mvc title game has been entertaining so far
Posted by ISeeDeadHawkeyes

I had no idea UIC was competent. Good effort, Flames. *
Posted by assassin

They looked decent today but UNI was lights out*

|
Western Michigan sacked Dwayne Stephens*
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
Zona's only up 1 @ CU*
Posted by assassin
|
That was a really good Texas Tech team we beat with a shell of our current roster.
Posted by OB25
|
Them losing that game gave them the 5 seed, giving ISU another crack at them in the quarters
Posted by Mrap24
|
Of course they have been terrible since I posted this.*
Posted by OB25
|
without Toppin they go VERY hot/cold*
Posted by assassin
|
Would much rather have had them on the 3 line than Kansas, if we get a 2 seed.
Posted by OB25
|
This is worth monitoring….
Posted by OB25
|
given how many players we need next year, i doubt we can afford him*
Posted by assassin
|
Purdue practiced for 3 hours yesterday
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
Allegedly that was the only thing practiced according to the telecast*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
What?? I thought "defense lives there" ???
Posted by osklister
|
So Wisconsin is the 5 in the BTT, right?*
Posted by Blazer
|
Unless we lose to Maryland*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Is Scheyer actually a good coach
Posted by Sounder
|
yes*
Posted by TarheelIllini
|
He’s clearly better than Hubert Davis*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Pretty low bar*
Posted by bjl63
|
Both*
Posted by Blazer
|
OSU shot 68% from the field in the first half against IU. Love it.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
IU is another team that has no business playing in the tournament over a Miami OH*
Posted by bjl63
|
IU would win by double digits.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I wouldn’t go that far. But Miami is way more interesting*
Posted by bjl63
|
Delete*
Posted by bjl63
|
They have no business making it over anyone*
Posted by bjl63
|
Unless we screw up tomorrow, seems like it is down to just us and Iowa State for the 2 seed
Posted by OB25
|
We are clearly ahead of Iowa St *
Posted by jdl
|
Purdue is a 4/5 seed at best. They are broken. *
Posted by illini
|
HFA is real but so much of the “biggest HFA” is just having really good teams*

5 losses at Mackey this year*

These guys are going to outscore Miami & Ohio from last night *
Posted by jdl
|
It’s High Knees’ world and we are just living in it*
Posted by biclops
|
DJ K and High Knees there. Should mean neither tomorrow in MD right?*
Posted by GCIllini99
|
Wisconsin’s shot chart is gonna be wild *
Posted by biclops
|
i’d rather try to avenge our loss to bucky.*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
Iowa State w a disasterous close to the first half, now down 4 to ASU*
Posted by assassin
|
17-0 run by Iowa State has ended the drama quickly.*
Posted by OB25
|
10 total points in 15 minutes of 2nd half play from ASU. great job. *
Posted by assassin
|
I really hope Bobby Hurley is our coach next year
Posted by bjl63
|
UConn playing with their food again *
Posted by jdl
|
That confirms pretty much everything I already thought about Hurley*
Posted by meanjeans
|
Hurley sucks hit these FTs*
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
Looked like Hurley bumped the ref when he got the tech*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
In a profession of crazy, he is the king*
Posted by illini222
|
He’s not crazy. Just an enormous asshole. *
Posted by IlliniRunner
|
I can agree with that*
Posted by illini222
|
he did. it was good defense. Big East needs to suspend him*
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
What a horrific loss*
Posted by illini21
|
Somehow that’s only Quad 2 *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Marquette tried hard to lose it but they are going to hang on
Posted by jdl
|
This uconn team is confounding
Posted by snipes824
|
They seem to be in big trouble*
Posted by illini21
|
Update: big, big trouble*
Posted by illini21
|
Lot of clustering happening on the Matrix.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Houston down 11 to OK ST*
Posted by OB25
|
now tied *
Posted by biclops
|
I feel like this is every HOU game I watch. They’re down then they win*
Posted by biclops
|
College Gameday is a Duke/UNC suck fest. *
Posted by harb
|
You can expect nothing less.
Posted by osklister
|
I don’t think Miami OH is that good. I also have no interest in playing them.
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Legendary!*
Posted by Dilbert
|
It is going to be hilarious when Miami loses in the MAC tourney and doesn’t make the NCAAs*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
#30 WAB
Posted by jdl
|
Would seem to suggest a flawed metric. I wonder what they fall to with even one loss.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
From what's been stated about it, switching a win to a loss would affect your WAB by exactly 1.
Posted by mrkoolaid
|
Zero chance. Absolute lock*
Posted by GMAW
|
The experts agree with you. I don’t get how when they’ve barely squeezed by
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Winning games has to count for something.
Posted by larue33
|
I’m going to keep pounding on the table to exclude Auburn
Posted by bjl63
|
Yeah*
Posted by cpsteine
|
This game is crazy.*
Posted by GCIllini99
|
When you've played the Little Sisters of the Blind and Deaf every game, easy to be confident.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
Wouldn’t be the first team to ride irrational confidence to an upset win*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
No one wants to see Auburn in the tournament. Or Indiana*
Posted by bjl63
|
No one will play them. They tried*
Posted by GMAW
|
I’m assuming this is sarcasm*
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
ooo
Posted by CanHartlebHireSnider
|
DO U WANT 2 PLAY US IF SO CHECK THIS BOX*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
What a bunch of bullshit. NET has them as the worst OOC schedule in the country.
Posted by Carl Spackler
|
100% agree. Like I said above, the weakness of schedule is one thing. The other
Posted by voiceofreason
|
The argument I have seen is that teams knew they would be a tough match up
Posted by IlliniJuice07
|
and they also scheduled 3 non D1 teams*
Posted by jdl
|
Akron has been top 3 in the MAC for like 5 years and managed to get Purdue on their schedule *
Posted by biclops
|
There is no world where they should not be in over Auburn or IU*
Posted by bjl63
|
I don’t necessarily disagree. You win that many games, should be in. But I think either of those
Posted by GCIllini99
|
You go17-15 you have no business in the dance. Don’t care how tough
Posted by bjl63
|
This game is getting super chippy. Tons of Ts and flagrants. And Miami is just not that good.*
Posted by GCIllini99
|
The color guy is incredibly obnoxious*
Posted by bjl63
|
What the hells going on with this guy?*
Posted by illini21
|
I would love to play them. Luckiest rec basketball team I’ve ever seen.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
UNCs Caleb Wilson out for season.
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Probably trying to hustle pool players at the wrong place...
Posted by osklister
|
Already had a broken left hand. I don't know how he's gonna do his homework*
Posted by Herman Blume
|
LOL.*
Posted by Chicago1995
|
Wow, that's some bad luck *
Posted by jdl
|
Linardi has us a 2 and Purdue as a 3, but has Purdue is St Louis. God he suck’s*.
Posted by Mrap24
|
Carson Goudie drops knowledge
Posted by Poldark CBS’ Jerry Palm is ranked 179th out of 186. Beat Maryland "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
Palm isn't a part of CBS anymore*
Posted by bucktownillini
|
That path is borderline erotic*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Why are we so excited to play Arizona? Not sure they’re a good match
Posted by bjl63
|
Would MUCH rather play them than Michigan or Duke
Posted by illini21
|
because they're not duke or michigan*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Gonna have to beat someone eventually. But I was looking more prior to the Elite 8.
Posted by Ron McDon
|
selfishly i really want STL. but dear lord, give me a path of byu/zaga/az any day*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Those two things have nothing to do with each other. We can have both*
Posted by GMAW
|
Yes and no. St Louis is Fri/Sun which means no BYU
Posted by Blazer
|
oh i'm aware. i'm just saying that i'd gladly give up STL for that path*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Michigan in a close one at Iowa *
Posted by biclops
|
Michigan wins by 3*
Posted by biclops
|
You guys should be watching this *

Stop shoulding me biclops*

|
You should me all night long *
Posted by biclops

What a fun and sexy time for you.*
Posted by DocWalk20

Posted by biclops
|
So uh, 21 point underdog Buttgers is down 1 half at MSU. They certainly won’t win, but…
Posted by OB25
|
Would suddenly open the possibility of the 3 seed in the BTT*
Posted by Blazer
|
Immediate MSU 7-0 run after halftime and this short-lived dream is quickly dead*
Posted by OB25
|
Only ended up winning by 4. Damn. *
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Crazy, they were up 15 with less than 2 minutes left and Buttgers got it down to 2 points.
Posted by OB25
|
MSU has a lot of close wins over shit teams *
Posted by meanjeans
|
Kim English sacked *
Posted by jdl
|
This guy just screams Underwood vulture candidate.
Posted by OB25
|
crime is up
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
pimpin ain’t easy *
Posted by biclops

Looking at B12 standings. Iowa St. plays ASU this weekend, then likely again in the B12 tourney
Posted by illini
|
I don't think we need any of those things.
Posted by GMAW
|
nm *
Posted by illini
|
nm *
Posted by illini
|
I generally agree, just think those things removes the necessity to win the BTT game.
Posted by illini
|
Interesting season for our guy Jayden Reid at NW. In three home games against ranked teams
Posted by illini
|
Motor.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
David Coit of Maryland has 5 games >= 29 and 13 < 10*
Posted by Potomac
|
That’s wild*
Posted by GMAW
|
Can’t imagine being a NW fan. The absolute pinnacle is winning a tournament game. Once
Posted by voiceofreason
|
And Chris Collins is lauded for his performance. 13 years/37% win percentage in the B1G.*
Posted by illini222
|
It is a very stacked deck there. He’s making a ton of money and loves Chicago, but
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I actually think he’s a pretty good coach*
Posted by GMAW
|
Agreed. NW needs to step up their NIL game and help him out if they want success.*
Posted by JFG
|
But the Northwestern education is compensation enough...

Baylor isn’t going away, up 4 at the under 12:00 timeout*

It appears Baylor is going away *

Over. *

"still time for a quick 2!" *

Gag City by Northwestern*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
Wow. What a complete screwup. *
Posted by harb
|
5 turnovers the whole game before that-*
Posted by memyselfandillini
|
Twice in fact.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
True story. *
Posted by harb
|
Oh no*
Posted by illini21
|
NW just can’t stop tripping over their own dicks *
Posted by biclops
|
Just gave the game away down the stretch. So bad.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Oh Kitties *
Posted by jdl
|
Damn, Cox single-handedly won the game for them.*
Posted by OB25
|
How the hell do you leave him wide open at that point? Dude’s been on a heater and the only Boiler
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Yep…dam. *
Posted by harb
|
Also LOL at the ref review of a shot that was clearly off in time and well behind the 3 point line*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
Prayer is answered *
Posted by jdl
|
Just the way Collins drew it up!*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
lol*
Posted by biclops
|
That foul call on NW. Never change, B1G officiating.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I mean it looked like Reid may have come close to maybe touching Smith. Maybe.*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
After Smith kicks his knee out while twisting in the air. So bad.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
lol, Martinelli is just going to take all the shots down the stretch here.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I love how much BTN talks up BTT seeding for these teams at the bottom of the league*
Posted by biclops
|
Don’t know if I’ve heard Jordan Taylor do color yet but he calls a good game.*
Posted by GCIllini99
|
It hasn’t looked sustainable, but Baylor is tied with Houston at halftime*
Posted by OB25
|
Braden Smith scores his first two points of the game with 9:27 to go in the second half*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
I think he felt like he wasn't getting enough hate on twitter.*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby
|
TKR just squeezed the NW guy’s balls, I think?*
Posted by OB25
|
What a strange sequence *
Posted by BradUnderwoodforprez
|
I’m still not sure what happened even after watching replays*
Posted by DocWalk20
|
How the hell did TKR hurt his off shoulder?*
Posted by biclops
|
NW leading PUR at halftime 34-25*
Posted by biclops
|
Killshot Northwestern *
Posted by biclops
|
They’ll probably come back in this one, but they look absolutely terrible*
Posted by OB25
|
Just a couple longshot games that are of interest tonight for us tonight.
Posted by OB25
|
No result for Purdue would shock me given how bad they've been stumbling.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini
|
Yeah i can definitely see them losing tonight*
Posted by illini21
|
NW stinks but they're always pesky at home*
Posted by bjl63
|
Yep*
Posted by illini21
|
Steve Pikiell will return to Rutgers next season*
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
IU has lost 6 straight to NW*
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"
|
is iu boss still alive or did woody do him in?*
Posted by Ari Gold
|
he's part of the Cignetti cult*
Posted by Poldark "After Austin Peay, we deserved one of these"

Other than MSU/IU, gotten almost every result we wanted the last 3 days.

UCLA doing some work on the offensive boards early.*
Posted by voiceofreason

Let’s go UCLA*
Posted by Toonces
|
ASU gets it done. UCLA up 11 early on Evraska.*
Posted by OB25
|
Man, ASU really sucks.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
Even worse, Ike Diogu isn't walking thru the door anytime soon*
Posted by OrangeSox
|
Their big guy is going to make bank in the portal though.*
Posted by OB25
|
Yeah, some serious size and bounce.*
Posted by voiceofreason
|
And just like that, a great sequence for ASU. Wow.*
Posted by voiceofreason

Made a prayer 3 and then that immediate steal and layup
Posted by assassin
|
Arizona State is taking just HORRID shots *
Posted by assassin
|
They kinda look like super athlete Oregon*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
The athleticism in this Kansas game vs what I just watched in Champaign is striking.
Posted by voiceofreason
|
That was bad but he wasn’t trying to hurt him or pull him down. Still has to be a flagrant tho*
Posted by John Coctostan
|
Iowa State’s recent loss to BYU is aging very poorly*
Posted by OB25
|
If Arizona State hangs on, this has been a great night for us*
Posted by GMAW
|
Early returns suggest that they may not hold on. Lead cut from 20 to 11 in less than 5 mins*
Posted by OB25
|
Yep, and UCLA can help later too.*
Posted by OB25

Florida may well play their way to a 1 seed at this rate*

Not college basketball but I listen to Craig Kilborn's podcast and he has been raving about Ayo.

You can't spell YAMBO without Ayo. *

Young Craiggers wants to improve your life by listening and learning about the life gorgeous.*

Craig Kilborn walked so Joel McHale could run*
Posted by Sammich

wouldn't that be Jon Stewart?*
Posted by bucktownillini

not in terms of persona*

I'm surprised you didn't hear the name lately, he was on the Bulls until recently*

Wouldn’t mind Arizona really running up the score here.*

Iowa State drops 2 spots down to #9 in KenPom and is now #16 in WAB*

Even more interesting development--with both Iowa State and Purdue fading

Let's just win up to the BTT title game... and if it's Michigan again... free money opportunity*
Posted by uofi1998
|
We're trending hard to the 4 seed, which means Michigan in the semis
Posted by GMAW
|
Yeah... just win out and hope for some help... I think there's a world in which a 3 is in play.
Posted by uofi1998
|
Nebraska also has the tiebreaker over us.
Posted by GMAW

OK... so get to Saturday, and then get some rest.*

our resume is good, but I figure Last 10 has to have some weight in all of this
Posted by ijustkrushalot

It doesn't*
Posted by GMAW
|
it doesn't... until it does...
Posted by uofi1998

I hear that, but we have no bad losses in the last 10*
Posted by GMAW
|
Our blind resume with just scores, no context, looks a hell of a lot better than...
Posted by uofi1998

Also, the Committee does not have the same laser-like focus on any single team

Kinda crazy ESPN lost their primary camera minutes ago and they had to rely…

He’s really bad at this*
Posted by Mrap24

I suspect he might be right that MSU could now be ahead of us, but he’s so slow to react
Posted by OB25
|
Which is wild for a guy who updates daily (or is cited daily)*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Probably hadn't done a wholistic review of their resume in awhile
Posted by Blazer
|
I suspect you're correct, but why hasn't he done a wholistic review?

February has been oddly bad... usually that's when we're hitting our stride.
Posted by uofi1998
|
What’s so frustrating is that it really hasn’t, the results are just way worse than the play itself.
Posted by OB25
|
Fair... but... we blew a 9 point lead at MSU... a 12 point lead to UW... a 23 point lead at UCLA...
Posted by uofi1998
|
That’s certainly all fair. Though I think the Texas Tech win belongs with those other two.
Posted by OB25

Good points. Hopefully the staff and player leaders are banging this drum as well.*

I didn't realize how much of my good mood in January was due to basketball.

I really hope we aren't going down the shitter like Purdue appears to be.

My overly simplistic current take is it all hinges on Tomi
Posted by snipes824
|
if he can hit 50% of his wide open 3s, we will win a shit load of games.
Posted by uofi1998
|
My simplistic response to that is that we are F’d if it all depends on Tomi. He’s clearly
Posted by voiceofreason
|
I mean our team is based on big man 3’s and rebounding
Posted by snipes824

Right, I'm not feeling confident at all about anything. We seem dead.*

Maybe it’s just because it’s X, but alot of Purdue fans seem to have turned on Braden Smith*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
This would give me all the reason I need to hate their fanbase

Gotta be the beard *
Posted by jdl

They appear to hate his podcast and bad white boy tat*

Same thing happened to Dee in 2006*

They’re overrated but he’s the least of their problems. *
Posted by bjl63
|
He’s the only guy they got. They’ve ridden him into the ground*
Posted by Mrap24
|
I think today’s results probably shift it to 90%+ odds that we’re BTT 4 seed if we win out
Posted by OB25
|
There’s a real tendency this time of year to privilege the last few weeks of games

Matrix updated, still on the 2 line. Florida leapfrogged to the top 2 and is gaining on UConn*

Depaul winner*
Posted by Mrap24
|
Are they….kind of good?*
Posted by bjl63
|
They are decent. As I told detlef last night, the big east is terrible, so they’ve taken advantage.
Posted by Mrap24
|
That first team round was really hard last night
Posted by bjl63
|
Yes. That round was hard. I thought last night was the hardest of the 8 years I’ve been there*
Posted by Mrap24

Maybe. I thought the endorsement segment would’ve been easier too*

CBM done with USC
Posted by jdl Just in: Chad Baker-Mazara has left USC, the school announced. Not a good sign. Trojans have cascaded out of NCAAT contention amid a five-game losing streak. Baker-Mazara averaged 18.2 points in 26 games. He had 14 points in 19 minutes in yesterday's loss to Nebraska.
|
He was acting really weird in their last game*

Depaul up 18 at half!*

The flopping that Fears gets away with is maddening.*

Indiana is the exact reason why the tournament shouldn’t expand. Woof*

Michigan’s NIL this offseason must have really dwarfed everyone else’s in the B1G
Posted by OB25

I have no idea what the NILs are but I think their coach made a mistake in year 1

IU is a football school now *

Was thinking about that this morning. Would love to know why others can’t do the same*
Posted by opossum jenkins

What a massive result for us. Indiana can make this a really great day now*
Posted by OB25

Just take care of our own business and we should be in pretty good shape*

These inbounds “plays” by Ohio State are as inept of an operation as you’ll ever see*

That Tilly guy is kind of a disaster *

No kind of about it*
Posted by Ron McDon

Huge sequence there, 3 by tOSU and Purdue turnover
Posted by jdl
|
TKR is a dick *
Posted by biclops
|
Ohio State up 11 early in 2nd half. Don’t trust that team not to blow it though*
Posted by OB25
|
8 more mins for the Bucks to try to hold this lead*
Posted by UofIL6
|
So poorly coached*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
OSU has to move on from him after this year if they have interest in being good.
Posted by Mrap24
|
Hopefully they sneak into the Tournament and OSU gives him a contract extension*
Posted by Ron McDon
|
That would be awesome for us!!*
Posted by Mrap24

Go Buckeyes, Go Hoosiers today. (Barf)
Posted by OB25

MSU is a terrible match up for IU
Posted by jdl
|
Only a 2.5 point spread, I stupidly kind of like IU in this one.

3 minutes of watching Enright reminded me why this was a bad take on my part.*

He’s so bad. DePaul got better when he left!*

Missouri and Wisconsin inching closer to Q1 games on the NET

This will be my last Lunardi update, but he now dropped us to a 3.

Why does everyone fixate on LOLunardi?
Posted by Dilbert

I suspect we’ll be a 3 on the matrix when it updates tomorrow, but it’s impossibly close

Orrrrrr….Purdue will be a bigger mess and everything will be fine. Lol*

Damn, what a tear he’s on*

42 and a win in OT. Eat shit Alford!*
Posted by Chuck Woodaby

Florida looking like they’ll be pretty set as a 2 seed. So probably us, Purdue, HOU for the last 2*
Posted by OB25
|
FL might be challenging for that final 1 seed.
Posted by illinilosch

Nebraska could get back in the mix as well, I suppose. Might need some BTT wins to do so*

Florida dick slapping the Hoggies...

Great results for us*

TTU trying to blow this*
Posted by Mrap24

AZ up 11 on KU, USC up 5 on NEB, and a shocker with TxTech up 16 at IAST. All at half.
Posted by OB25

TTU building quite the resume

We need TTU to hang on. ISU is at Arizona Monday night. Them getting 2 loses would be wonderful*

Neb got ugly quick, but others still look good*

TTU up 16 at the half at Hilton *

yup #22 on the floor too. Washington needs him*

They tried to honor him by scoring 22 in the first half but came up 1 short *

Nebraska struggling at USC*

Looks like UCLA going to drop one at Minny. Gross. *

Such an atrocious loss for us. That and wisky are just inexcusable*

So much absentee coaching that game.*

Deep thoughts from kenpom on WAB
Posted by jdl

Amazing that this senior class at Purdue lost every big home game in their last year.
Posted by OB25
|
You mean that big oaf Zack Edey was the real reason they were good?
Posted by uofi1998
|
I think the funniest part were all the early season posts from Purdue fans
Posted by GMAW
|
Benter and Jacobsen are going to be very good 4 year players, Mayer has potential too. But…
Posted by OB25
|
Mayer's international play suggests he might have the highest ceiling of all of them.
Posted by Chicago1995

I think TKR stinks. I hear so much gushing over him
Posted by bjl63
|
Just a huge mis-step by Painter to build around him
Posted by jdl
|
He and Cluff are a terrible pairing.
Posted by Chicago1995
|
They're only good, not great. Unless Smith has it cooking they're very beatable.*
Posted by Warrin'_Illini

Painter hasn't had a great year. Didn't get the right pieces and hasn't fit them together too well.*

The last month, Braden’s 3 point% dropped to 34, after starting the first three months at 50%

And Loywr and TKR have regressed*

Loyer's numbers against high level comp are awful
Posted by Chicago1995

There was a play with Iike 5 left in the game, he drove and just bounced off an MSU player.
Posted by tvillini
|
Definitely puts the home crowd discussion in perspective*
Posted by Blazer
|
Best home win is NET 26 Iowa *
Posted by biclops
|
And IIRC they were losing late in the 2nd half*

Kinda wild they couldn’t get it done at home this year*

Killshot MSU*

MSU ignores the 2 for 1 chance and gets a shot clock violation. Good one. *

MSU misses front end of 1-1. Purdue ball 3.4 to go down 2. *

Win at Northwestern is now a Q1 win. Wisconsin loss 2 spots away from moving up to a Q1 loss*

Wisconsin has 2 of the best wins in CBB. Its a joke they're Q2*

UCLA beats USC by 20, but of course Dailey turns back into a pumpkin from 3*

Other than Dent, they went 2-14 from 3*

To be fair, I might have been more annoyed at Dent going 5-6 from 3 against us out of nowhere*

Surprised there isn’t more IU talk here. What a delightfully crippling loss that was for them.*

Just fantastic. I’d love another tournament without the extremely dusty banners.*
