B1G does not have a history (NOT hotdog) of being bad in the tournament. They’ve sent like 6 different teams to the championship in 20 years which is impressive. They’re just like 0-9 in championships.

Unfortunately the B1G is among the group with 0…thanks Rutgers.

Relatedly Oral Roberts just restored the part of my soul Rutgers destroyed.

I love that our wrath is reserved for Rutgers, a 10 seed, after 1, 2 and 4 seeds in this half have previously fallen (not even disagreeing, it’s just funny).

In 2013, Florida was the team who knocked 15 seed FGCU out in the Sweet 16. Now, they’re the team to send 15 seed ORU to the Sweet 16. What goes around comes around, I guess…

My autocorrect/awful typing does this to me so much 🤦🏼 Thank god this place has an edit button or everyone here would think I’m an idiot if they don’t already

So your way to act like you don’t care about how conferences do is to make fun of another conference? Okay

Aw, you fixed it – I liked it better when we didn’t have a hotdog. Gave us, Iowa and MD something concrete to shoot for tomorrow.

Purdue gets some of my wrath. Wisconsin never had a shot. Every other B1G result I’m very happy about.

You can make us go.

For real I’ve wanted a chili dog for like a week now so I think that’s what I’m gonna have for dinner tomorrow night.

I’ll let you all know when it inevitably destroys my stomach.

I’m feeling some conference humiliation by virtue of this all being played in Indianapolis. That’s embarrassing.

You need to take your phone to the Apple store if “history of being bad in the tournament” is getting autocorrected to “hotdog.”

That last timeout the cameraman zoomed in on Mike White, and he literally was standing there talking to his assistants for 40 seconds while his team sat away from them on the bench. I mean what kind of coach wastes a crucial timeout in crunch time to gather input from assistants?

I would say a large chunk of college coaches meet with their assistants like that before joining the huddle.

Only one team from Indiana got a bid to the NCAA Tournament being played in Indiana, and they lost in the first round. For a basketball crazy state that’s gotta hurt.

Feels like if Michigan loses tomorrow it will be subsumed by a larger Big Ten narrative instead of some bs about “Can Howard get it done in the tournament?”
