Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

Remember, though, that last season home teams went 13-0 to begin conference play before Sparty won in Evanston, nearly one year to the day of their dominating loss this past Sunday.

I just saw that 2021 5 star guard Aminu Mohammed committed to Georgetown a couple days ago. Wasn’t he considered an Indiana lean for a long time? Sucks for Archie and co.

Archie has had some big losses on the trail this year. Went down to the wire With a ton of top guys

Why would he go to Georgetown? Terrible.

On another note, on ESPN it shows that MSU is favored by 1.5 points over Wisconsin today. How can that be? Wisconsin is ranked about 25 spots higher on both Kenpom and Torvik. Has Wisconsin lost a player to injury or something?

MSU is at home

I see the line is MSU -2 now? Very surprised to see a 3.5 point swing in MSU’s favor unless some Wisconsin players are out. Maybe the oddsmakers listened to the podcast and Quinn convinced them that Izzo will just figure it out?

Well after the loss MSU will obviously just win by playing angry

I don’t see how MSU stops Potter/Reuvers with their lack of inside presence. Even if MSU goes small with Hauser at the 5 to try and mismatch on offense, both Potters and Reuvers are athletic enough to survive out there, and Wisconsin on the whole is still too good defensively. That makes me think Wisconsin should win, but this also seems like one of those spots where we all expect an MSU loss after they show some flaws but then they come out, win and look like a top 10 team again.

That’s a crazy swing in points, and it makes no sense imo.

Line went MSU -2.5 just before tip for a four-point swing. That’s a huge change!

Well if Wisconsin turns it over on literally every possession I think MSU might win this one

Hot take: Wisconsin is gonna be in trouble if they continue to have a turnover rate of 100%

Not a great sign for MSU that Wisconsin turned it over on their first four possessions yet only found themselves down 2-0 (and now lead 9-5).

Ah the classic Loyer defense.

So why is MSU allowing very few select family fans today? That’s a decision that is up to the schools?

2020 is such a weird year that MSU-Wisconsin has turned into an offensive clinic of a game, except for turnovers.

As a bettor of the under, I am a frustrated man. When Josh Langford is making fadeaway twos while absolutely swarmed, it’s time for an egg nog refill.

Edit: found the line. It’s 138. That seems…kinda low for me?
