Big Ten Basketball 2020-21 Discussion (Part 2)

It is funny how things change. Less than two years ago he was scuffling in Champaign and people were questioning if his defense was worse than Iowa. He gets Ayo and Kofi, stops playing reckless defense, and now he’s a genius. The truth is probably in the middle.

Dang I never would’ve thought Illinois could win consecutive road games @ Wisconsin @Michigan and @ Ohio State. And the first two without Ayo.

Ayo wants a piece of the belt

Yes to both. He’s definitely ticked that the best Illinois team in 15 years isn’t winning the big ten because of perceived favoritism. He is also a big jerk and has a very abrasive personality.

Illinois claiming they deserve to be co champions only makes sense IFwe lose to MSU. Until that happens it sounds like irrational crybaby stuff.

If he wanted to be Co-Big Ten champs maybe they shouldn’t have lost to MSU, Maryland, Rutgers and OSU at home.

I wanted to be co-Big Ten champs last year too, but turns out we had too many losses

It’s a little bizarre. They have a really good team. Maybe they should have thought about how important a title is before they were losing those 4 games.

If we lose tomorrow, I’m more than fine with Illinois raising a banner. I don’t think we would have lose any of the three games but it was possible. But if we beat MSU, it’s against all logic that we’d have gone 1-2.

It’s like they did not do the math.

Michigan ducked Indiana, Northwestern, and Penn State.

Honestly whining about Covid paused shutdowns just makes you look like a POS imo.

Michigan is Illinois version of B1G Championship game. They played with increased intensity that I didn’t see them all year and they really wanted that win.

If anything the league punished us by not giving us three highly winnable games. We could easily be 17-2 right now.

Yes I was being sarcastic. The argument is just moronic

I mean if we had to play Illinois right after the pause they would have beaten us really badly. Totally different than what happened with playing us later…is that why they’re so upset?

Apparently beating the team that finished first now gives you claim to first
