Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

Yep, they definitely played hard in that conference season. There were some brutal tough defeats that year, Spike really played his ass off.

The Big Ten was also not particularly great that year other than Wisconsin.

I thought that team showed growth - at first everyone was deferring to Caris too much and we were easy to defend. But other guys started emerging (Spike, MAAR) as the year went on. We just ran out of gas in a lot of games.

I was speaking more of the sudden drop from great to out of the tournament.

Regional Finals

Enjoyed the knocking off of OSU with Spike outplaying Russell.

I was at that game, probably the most fun and excited atmosphere Iā€™ve ever seen at Crisler.

It looks like a bunch of sites have restored Michigan @ Northwestern on Feb 3, not just Kenneth. Yahoo Sports, ESPN, some gambling pagesā€¦

We need that angry guy who was hours ahead of the lockdown announcement

I was wrong about that, for sure, though with both teams Covid is probably a bigger deal than it is for others due to their youth. Gonzaga is very legit, though I think we could take them. Iā€™m very happy to have been totally right about how Watts is no point guard and MSU would really feel the losses of Winston and Tillman.

Wasnā€™t trying to call you out or anything haha, Iā€™ve had many cold takes in my days.

Itā€™s all good, that was a terrible prediction. None of these Kentucky guys seem very good for a change. And to think there was a nice when many of us thought getting Hunter Dickinson instead of Walker Kessler was a downgrade.

Duh. A Walker walks, a Hunter hunts.
(sorry, looking at a stressful work week and the cheekiness quality is low)

Would be weird if all of these sites had that information but no formal announcement was made. Iā€™m here for it thoughā€¦

Yeah, itā€™s almost certainly just that these places all pull their data from the same database and it mistakenly got added back there.

I transferred my very small remaining jinx powers onto you after the Minnesota game lol, I think Iā€™m free to give actual predictions.

Has anyone played the over/under whether Bardo is calling tonightā€™s game? If I were a betting man, gotta take both ā€œyesā€ on that and Rutgers giving -3.5.
