The Big Ten should have some protocol for this. They probably should at least delay the tipoff a couple of hours. (I know they didn’t for us in 2017…)

Pretty sure that game in the Big Ten Tournament was pushed back a bit wasn’t it?

Northwestern got sick of playing close games.

I never said he sucks. In fact, I said he was good. What I said was that I don’t understand the hype he gets (all-B10, higher NBA draft projection than Kofi or Hunter, etc). He’s a PF who can’t shoot that plays as an undersized center in a league full of actual centers. He hustles and has some post moves against mortal centers but if he isn’t getting to the FT line or faces a bigger guy he’s just good, not great.

Similar to those stats we have seen of the Iowa stats dominating lesser opponents I would love to see TJD stats against big time opponents. Don’t get me wrong, he’s good and I would like him on Michigan, but I think he’s over hyped.

Not positive, but I think it was still the first game of the day?

Hoiberg might want to slip out the back and avoid the post-game talk.

Things get very real for Indiana after this loss: at NW, at MSU, Wisconsin, at OSU

107 ORtg on 27% usage in Kenpom tier A+B games.

In that same tier of games we have

Dickinson: 122 ORtg 24% usage
Cockburn: 110 ORtg 31% usage

Hopefully Nick Bahe can save this game from an announcing perspective because Tim Brando just grinds my gears, especially when he calls football games with Spencer Tillman

They just called a tech on Izzo…that ref may never work another B10 game.

And the announcers are incredulous! Can’t believe they called it on him and said the refs should have let it go. Crazy

Yeah, the announcers’ take that the refs should “consider what’s at stake” can easily be rephrased to “Izzo should consider what’s at stake”.

It’s been talked about to death… But he really does get a free pass for those tantrums, it’s just odd.

Did DJ give him the tech???

As you might expect with the Fox broadcast…they never showed it. They showed the play that Izzo was mad about and agreed it was a good no call. Never showed what Izzo did to earn it or which ref called it.

Lol what a massive eye roll. It’s early in the 2H of a mid season conference game. “Consider the moment” my rear

MSU shooting 10/20 from 3 and down 13 LOL

That really surprises me Fox rarely goes to break when there’s something big happening in the game when the clock is stopped.

can’t decide if it’s good if Rutgers works there way into a Q2 game against us or if we want them to stay far away from the bubble.

I thought it was odd last week when Izzo kept going on about how he knew MSU was a top 10 team. I see them as more a top 25 team that’s overachieved.
