Alright I wasted more time on it. If Purdue loses another game, this would be the first season in the history of the Big Ten going back as long as conference records are kept on CBB reference, all the way back to 1949-1950 that a team with a conference winning percentage of 70% or below won the league outright.
ugh that 49-50 season was rough. still have nightmares about it
You can tell Jay Wright isn’t a longtime, stale announcer as he was campaigning for ILL to take a 3! Not the usual “you don’t NEED to have a 3 here”
Brad Davison’s sophomore year.
I wonder if Michigan can glean anything from what OSU did today against Illinois and try to implement that next week.
If they can foul Shannon out, that would probably help.
Has there been any clarity on what is going on with the MSU/Minnesota game? Just not getting made up?
Believe it is not being played because Rutgers won’t move their game to Tuesday.
Not getting great vibes. Need their best 7 minutes to finish.
Glad I feel like watching this Rutgers - Penn State game because that would not be the case if had Michigan lost. The win today also clinches a single bye in the BTT for whatever it’s worth.
I assume we are all in on Rutgers here to make that win better and drop PSU further down the bubble ladder, right?
Though right now I don’t see how Rutgers scores points…
Rutgers looks completely cooked
What can we do to face them first in the BTT?
PSU can’t miss and Rutgers can’t make. Feels over already with 8 minutes left in the first half at 25-9.
Michigan has not clinched a double bye. Maybe if they win both it’s a lock
Rutgers doing their best to will the B1G bubble teams in
Andy Katz was going on and on about Rutgers possibly being in danger of playing themselves out of the tourney after the Michigan win. Still not there yet but you have to wonder if this slide continues.
