Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

Ohio State’s problem is that it is all just above average talent. I’m not sure who is even close to 1st Team B10 on that roster. Liddell is the answer but he’s probably closer to 3rd team.

Like Brendan said in the podcast, basketball isn’t played on a spreadsheet.

Who on Michigan would be first-team?

Very fair, and a huge delta for them is just “how much does Liddell get rolling today.” When he’s going, he’s pretty darn good. That’s their weakness and probably lack of a true top big to match teams with a dominant big.

But, as an example, I thought you just needed to not do dumb stuff like let Ahrens shoot from 3, but today I saw it’s harder than I thought to cover all their actions and not lose him from time to time.

I just can’t get too excited about a team that was swept by Purdue.

Okay, low key this is about me being terrified to face them. We have managed so many stupid ways to lose to them and today I realized they could beat us if we don’t bring our top game. I don’t want to lose to them this year :pray:

Which current freshman in the Big Ten will be on Dylan’s top 25 list 2 years from now. Top ten? I think Ivey on Purdue will be in the top 10. Curbelo on Illinois I think has a limited ceiling until he develops a shot. I like his flair but he’s like Cassius Winston without a shot. Dickinson clearly would be top 5. Edey has some upside. Clearly Murray on Iowa looks like a late bloomer. Could Zeb get there?? I think he could but not all that confident

Edey is not a total stiff. He can move a little bit.

You mean The Moving Screen’s THIRD ranked Purdue in the official B1G Power Rankings?!

Two ranked B1G teams just getting casually manhandled at home. Seems about right.

Some of these teams; If they don’t make 3 point shots, they are going to lose. Minnesota was 21% today and Wisconsin was 25% (only after a late splurge by Ford). Over dependence on 3 point shooting. See Iowa the other night and they have Luka Garza.

What are we cheering for in this NW@PSU game?

Our former coach.

Neither was ever in the game today. Dominated from tip to buzzer.

Apparently they are shutting down all athletics on Monday. That makes zero sense

Coach B: “Jordan Poole got his degree in swag.”

Who are they? Michigan?

What does this mean?
