Backcourt violation!

Scottwood · December 30, 2020, 1:57am

Purdue got screwed

JDOg · December 30, 2020, 1:57am

False multiple foul!

steve · December 30, 2020, 1:59am

Anyone get a view of the ref who blew that call? I see our BFF Larry Scirotto is on the court.

CursedBlue · December 30, 2020, 2:01am

Woof, now Rutgers gets screwed. zero contact whatsoever there.

steve · December 30, 2020, 2:04am

Going through Jacob Young’s family tree is becoming the new “John Beilein has never been an assistant.”

JDOg · December 30, 2020, 2:05am

Scirotto was Trail, his call. But the Center official (opposite) has cross-court coverage there as well. But usually only a late whistle on backcourt violation for the Center/Slot official - that is supposed to come from the Trail official.

The False Multiple was really a Double foul - the elbow by offensive player same time defender hacked. Like when 2 big guys are banging in the post, call a double foul.

Toughest part is it was right in front of Painter. Good thing he was wearing a mask, would’ve been some entertaining lip reading!

I know it’s only been three minutes but I’m really impressed with Northwestern so far in this one, especially on defense.

mjsb2 · December 30, 2020, 2:34am

Frederick has had an unreal start to the season.

BigBoutros · December 30, 2020, 2:45am

I know it’s nothing new but the atrociousness of Garza’s defense is still sort of shocking to watch every time

kturnup · December 30, 2020, 2:46am

That D by Garza against Nance #notmyPOY

CursedBlue · December 30, 2020, 2:48am

Out of curiosity, who is your pick for POY? Or are you just japing?

kturnup · December 30, 2020, 2:48am

I had to google japing, but yes that haha

CursedBlue · December 30, 2020, 2:51am

After the crazy a$$ last week or so, I think I’m actually still on board with Iowa winning the conference. Although having Nebraska as a single play is a legitimate handicap. I don’t think they’re the “frontrunner,” but I just think they have as good of a shot as anyone else.

BigBoutros · December 30, 2020, 2:52am

My B1G POTY rankings are as follows:

Teddy Allen
Rocket Watts
Both Gach
Chol Marial
Musa Jallow

kturnup · December 30, 2020, 2:53am

So you don’t think it’s time?

BigBoutros · December 30, 2020, 2:53am

NW is playing like absolute buttcheeks in this game. Every turnover is unforced

buckets12 · December 30, 2020, 2:54am

Miller Kopp may be my favorite random non-Michigan player in the conference. Dude is a bucket

CursedBlue · December 30, 2020, 2:55am

Interesting that the top 3 kenpom players are Big Ten. Kinda sucks for Jackson-Davis, who I feel is sort of the forgotten man with how good Ayo and Luka are. Although that’s also likely just because Indiana isn’t as relevant this year.
