Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

Isn’t Iowa currently 0-2 against the best teams?

They are. They lost two coin flip games without CJ Fredrick.

Hard to say they can’t hang with an Iowa team they haven’t played yet.

We can discuss who Wisconsin has and has not played, but do they look like a top tier team at this point?

Mercifully, no.

They do not.

I’m trying to express my feelings about Michigan facing Wisconsin in its first game back without tempting fate.

I’m quite literally just trying to say they can’t hang against the two teams they lost by 10+ to and the third team they are playing now and are down 10+ before half.

I’m not even trying to talk about Iowa. I’m talking about Wisconsin and only included Iowa because they are in the same group (the top 5) as Wisconsin and the other teams according to the standings and all the computer models.

I get that. I’m just saying it’s weird to say what Wisconsins average results is and then include two teams they haven’t finished a game with yet.

It’s not looking real good for them in this game, though. OTOH, they’ve had lots of good looks from deep and are 0-fer. Make 2/9 and it’s a seven point game.

Begrudgingly rooting for Wisconsin but don’t mind at all seeing Brad Davidson being this bad.

Nice sequence there from Potter. Turnover, leave Cockburn all alone underneath the basket, turnover.

Kofi’s going for a triple double on points, rebounds and dunks! Ayo is more traditional, points, rebounds, assists!

I know! I HATE auto correct! I’m always having to correct the d*mn thing!

I think Micah Potter is a talented basketball athlete. I just don’t think he’s a good fit as a Wisconsin basketball athlete.

Big call by Boroski on that 4th foul against Reevers/Roovers. Wish they had shown a replay on that. 7-point game, the pick-n-pop was just heating up for R/R, and Kofi just checked in. Wiscy has no real body to put on Kofi on a rim run though, and Ayo almost has a trip dub.

Ayo is SO good! WHY is he still in college rather than getting paid?!?

Kofi to bench…Wisconsin closes to 8…Kofi back in…dunk fest. See if that happens again now with Georgi back in.

Wisconsin can’t beat their man one on one except sometimes Trice. If they don’t hit their threes, they are screwed
