Big Ten Basketball 2022-23 Discussion

Alright. Sorry guys, really didn’t mean to frustrate people. I’ll log off for the day, enjoy the rest of the games.

Really, I’m not sure State shoots this well in an empty gym. This really is something!

Fran isn’t happy.

Gotta be at least a 50% chance Fran gets tossed here, right?

I know this will not go over well, here, but right now Michigan State is the best team in the B1G. For me, I’m gonna give 'em credit. Awesome performance by a team we all love to hate against another team most of us also dislike intensely!

Whatever that was between Fran and that ref can never happen again. Seriously.

Let’s go back to mocking and hating on Fran.

Look at Ernie filling in for Boutros in his absence

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen that specific interaction before. At least not between humans.

People are getting a lot of mileage out of this idea that Kobe’s shot was a prayer. This wasn’t an Ben Brust halfcourt heave, just a normal three where he happened to bobble the pass just before.

Also, a 3-point deficit with 2 minutes to go isn’t some insurmountable hill to climb.

MSU’s shooting performance today was less likely to happen again than Bufkin hits that shot again

Agree 100%. Honestly, it was no more absurd than the shot Walker made right before his, IMO.

Should be reprimanded by the B1G. Ridiculous. It was nice that one of his players and a young assistant or manger tried to get Fran to have some class and walk away. And, no, (can’t remember the announcers name) it’s not really funny. It was like, freaking juvenile.

Edit: Robbie Hummel - senior moment. :wink:

Now that’s a call that Fran should be mad about

Exactly. Rams abound to butt horns. That can’t become something allowable in sports. Lol. Plus, it was just cringey. I understand it being funny in a way, but that exact interaction usually leads to nothing good.

Yeah, I would certainly agree with that. Definite outlier.

I thought what Fran did was great - show the refs how you feel without being abusive… The refs have been terrible this game - so many obvious calls missed. Refs have almost zero accountability. Why should coaches and players have to answer to the media when they struggle but not refs?

Wouldn’t it be crazy if Iowa somehow came back and won this! Down 7 with 38.7 seconds. We’ve seen it before.

Edit: Whoa, unforced TO

Edit: Whoa 4 point game 30.7 seconds!

Edit: Who 3 point game!

Whoops just realized I’m behind. My wife, the Sparty is cheering in the background! State ahead 5 five with 19,6

But wait a minute, she just said, "Og, my gosh it’s tied!

And now, I’m caught up. OVERTIME!!!
