Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

Kofi is just killing ILL

Yeah I guess thatā€™s true, I just donā€™t get from a safety standpoint why Towns drive and knee to the chest is any different. And I feel like you can still slide in and take a shoulder to the chest as well. But agreed, lets get a pro in here haha

flop warning alert!

the Illinois bigs are playing terrified against such a small team. really weird

OSU is doing a really good job with their doubles and the bigs are freaking out once it happens. Kofi also keeps inexplicably trying to dribble the ball when heā€™s being doubled and around the rim instead of going up with it.

Brando is annoying but Donny Marshallā€™s a good analyst. Has he done a Michigan game?

Brooks is out today because of a foot injury?

Just saw that news while watching the OSU v IL game.

Kofi looks awful today. I havenā€™t seen much Illinois this season, but I had assumed heā€™s been solid.

Illinois has got it to 8 before, only to collapse defensively

Illinois keeps putting that press on, and twice it has resulted in an easy Ahrens 3. What is Underwood doing?

I thought Ayo stepped out of bounds there

Thatā€™s old school Underwood defense.

Illinois confuses me. I also havenā€™t seriously considered Ohio State being good this season but maybe itā€™s time.

Is it time to start taking OSU seriously as the obvious Big Ten frontrunner???

Me neither. For me OSU is clearly better than I thought, potentially the top of that 2nd tier. I also think Illinois is worse than weā€™ve been saying, maybe also closer to the top of that 2nd tier than anywhere on the first.

Is anybody good or is Michigan in a tier by themselves!!

Iowa is probably legit

Just turned this on, so this is purely based on looking at the box score, but U of I 5ā€™s are 9-11 from the field (Kofi is 5-5). Maybe get Cockburn more than 5 shots, Brad?
