Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

I feel bad for BQ - both sides of the rivalry seem to think he’s a homer for the other one.

Donta Scott with the little seen posterization of 3 guys.

Both of Michigan’s most recent opponents will have played Wisconsin three days beforehand.

He sold that foul. I think he even winked at the line lol

Yeah I generally think he’s good. Obviously a fantastic writer, but I sometimes appreciate his more out there opinions as well. I guess if you’re a good reporter you tend to make all sides mad right?

I’m just glad we’ve got two wins in the bag because this conference season is gonna be a slog. Here’s to 5 co-champs with 12-8 records

Do MSU fans really think he’s an M homer? I think Quinn had an affinity for both Izzo/Beilein and combined with his narrative-driven approach I think made him very positive about both programs. With JB gone, I think he’s neutral on Michigan now, but the Izzo love remains.

MSU down by 20 at the half, Wisconsin falling at home…Santa with some late Christmas presents!

And all of a sudden this upcoming Maryland/Northwestern/Minnesota stretch is looking a lot more daunting than everybody was expecting. Now that those games were ever going to be easy, but now there’s some serious juice behind those games.

Izzo is about to pull a Coach K and call for the abolition of the season. Do it for the kids guys.

Maryland takes down Wisconsin.

Beyond undefeated Wisconsin losing, I love seeing this right before we play Maryland since it severely reduces the chance we go in there sleepwalking/underestimating Maryland.

There’s a lot of good stuff I’m sure about The Athletic and working that beat, and BQ gets to write big features, which I bet is a draw for him. But I’d hate to have that beat. Spread too thin.

Wow, Wisconsin was 9/19 at the rim. Coupled with Maryland’s 18/20, that’s the difference in the game right there.

Are we about to see the fabled pissed off MSU win?

did Reuvers miss the game or what?

Nope, he played and in fact was posterized by Donta Scott to more or less seal it for Maryland.

Never mind. The backboard is too good a defender for Minnesota

Wow, that is IMO the most shocking statistic by far. Maryland has no 5s!

They also did a pretty good job against Williams/Edey last time out. Very weird to see
