Also found this interesting: of the 5 teams at the bottom of both the B1G standings and KenPom ranks (Penn State, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Ohio State, Minnesota), this is how many times out of a maximum 10 and minimum 5 that each winning B1G team got to play that group:
Purdue: 9
Northwestern: 7
Indiana: 5
Maryland: 10
Illinois: 10
Michigan: 7
Iowa: 8
Michigan State: 6
Rutgers: 8
I’ll buy some Indiana stock if anyone’s selling.
How much money did Hood Schifino make tonight? What a game. They just carved Purdue up in the paint all night
Well that explains it then. It’s impossible for the visiting team to win at Breslin! 
The Boiler legions are unhappy.
“If we are satisfied with mediocre Matt is your man.”
“Purdue never grows from this because their coach is incapable of growth.”
“How quickly this team became my least favorite in over a decade.”
Yep, well…fans…on message boards.
Purdue is a fine team, but they are starting two true freshman non-5* guards. Edey has carried them through a weak Big Ten and they’ll likely win the conference, but they just aren’t equipped to make a March run.
Fran McCaffrey is a human landfill.
turns out Dylan’s been right all year about the fun times to be had by relying on two freshman guards, huh
Who’s more likely to make a Sweet 16?

That team that feeds Edey has had to work through 2 frosh in the backcourt as well.
It’s not about them not having young players.
My main thing is they’ve never had to adjust how they play as a team. Everyone’s roles have been the same all year.
Interesting observation. They look to Edey so much that if you can make sure he has anything less than a wildly dominant game then with a mediocre shooting day from outside it’s possible to stay in front of them. IU, at least in a couple of recent games I’ve watched, having long stretches as a well-oiled and more versatile machine.
Raise your hand if you’re still watching replays of the Iowa comeback vs. MSU.
I didn’t see the game so I watched the extended highlights. There were at least three times I went, “Oh, so here’s where Iowa started their comeback…” And then they’d miss a shot and MSU would knock down free throws.
Crazy how long MSU’s win probability was at the 99% level.
Are you suggesting that all fans constantly feel they’re getting jobbed by the refs? No!
What is “Project 44?”
Except here. No one here ever complains about officiating during game threads.
Hello Coleman Hawkins 
The obvious difference being that we’re 100% right, and they are 100% wrong.
The last 10 mins of Mich/Ill with Reed/Dickinson vs Hawkins/Dainja will be a fun watch
