Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 1)

Well, even if MSU makes the tournament… This stuff isn’t gonna fly there… Refs outside the B10 aren’t going to let you just hack without consequence all game.

I saw, but didn’t understand, that joke. Please explain?

I’m picking MSU to lose first round while every other bozo has them in the 2nd round at least. Idgaf they still play garbage basketball. Hacking and mid range jumpers. I’m not staking anything in that type of team

Staking you say? :vampire:

It is now a 2 team race but Michigan has a strong inside track to win the title outright. If Ayo is out for an extended period of time and has to miss the Michigan game, you can pretty much almost lock up Michigan as the B1G champion. So far, so good for Michigan. They took care of business against KenPom top 5-7 teams in OSU and Iowa. They can’t get trapped by Indiana as a potential trap game in between Iowa/Illini games.

Honestly I’m not sure what to make of MSU yet. If they look great again in their next game I might buy them. I’m really curious to see if they can sustain this though

It’s already a lock

MSU getting the 9 seed went from huge long shot to very possible. I’ll work the probabilities tomorrow but it could come down to the Indiana game and no one is picking Indiana in that one.

MSU would still have to win that game though to get a 3rd Michigan game

Seriously though, Michigan looks so good right now it’s hard to feel down about the night. Also I’m guessing we don’t have to worry about them not being locked in for MSU, there are players on this team who have been through some huge games against them and who really understand the significance.

At this point I’m expecting MSU to beat Maryland and IU. I just want to sweep them so they don’t have any lingering thoughts that they’ve turned it on and are better than us.

Same. If Michigan beats Michigan State, none of the other stuff bothers me

This Chris Holtmann press conference is gold.

They really could have used Kyle Young tonight, I suspect.

I just need to see Michigan beat Illini to make myself feel a bit better.

I still think Maryland gets MSU. Maybe it’s just wishful thinking but the Terps also look so much better…getting a B2B with Nebraska obviously helps a lot but they also went into the RAC and pretty much dominated Rutgers.

Yeah, Boutros said it early: Pretty much an ideal game for him (Young).

Yea I don’t get it. What does it mean?

BQ asked the Michigan athletic department for an explanation on why Chris Hunter was on the phone during a game, and also if Juwan did the same (he didn’t). And insinuated they both should have been technical fouls (they should not have been).

Indiana-Minnesota-MSU Battle Royale to get in (we all know how this one ends)

Duke is also creeping their way up :face_vomiting: (we also know where that one is headed)
