Matt Painter has been given like four straight questions begging him to say he can play Trevion and Edey together and he’s monologued for ten minutes about how difficult it will be for Trevion to guard fours.

Hmmmm, maybe he changed his mind due to practice results after he spoke with BQ

I have no idea what to do with that 2nd tier. I think MSU has the most upside there so I went with them. I was previously kinda high on Indiana amongst that group but now I’m not so sure. Maryland is losing all the identity they had last year. Meh. I don’t see any of them threatening to jump the top group. Penn State is my surprise team. Maybe they’ll just have no talent and will stink and make me feel dumb but I gotta make some unexpected picks. I buy Pickett, buy Shrewsberry, and am taking the senior laden team to overperform expecations.

Would bet good money on Purdue to win the conference. Would also bet good money on Purdue to lose before Illinois/Michigan in the NCAA Tournament.

Wow you’re more optimistic about Michigan this year, eh? I’m surprised you have them ranked so high.

I need an 0-20 Minnesota Big Ten season in my life. Let’s make it happen.

When Minnesota wins the conference this year you’ll be sorry

I hope Cursed Blue and Big B are still in reverse psychology mode as to the Maize & Blue.
Best post in a while. I enjoyed my initial glance trying to determine teams. Pretty successful I must say!
