Big Ten Basketball 2022-23 Discussion

Dylan wrote about that in the recap. Seems strange but I’ll take it. FWIW 3 of the top 4 offenses (besides UM) are teams we’ve only played once so far.

What a dumb take

the ideal path for Michigan in the BTT would be

M gets 2 seed

Iowa beats Wisconsin in the 7-10

M gets revenge on Iowa

Minnetonka upsets Penn State, Michigan State, and Indiana

M beats Minnetonka in the semi

Meanwhile, Rutgers upsets 1 seed Purdue in the quarters and Keisei Tominaga leads Nebraska to the semis with wins over Ohio State, Illinois, and Northwestern

Nebraska defeats Rutgers in the semi in 77 overtimes

Michigan gets an exhausted Nebraska in the BTT final and wins 174 - 32 (all 32 pts by Tominaga)

I’ll take Iowa on…Chicago is about 230 miles from Iowa City, should be far enough away to prevent the curse the state of Iowa has put on the state of Michigan from affecting them

I hate how the BTN does like a 60 minute postgame show for its games. This game is worth an extended postgame but usually it’s like “we’ve had 3 buzzer beating wins and huge upsets across the Big Ten today but let’s break down this game for 15 minutes and then hear from Fred Hoiberg after Nebraska’s 35 point win over Minnesota”

If we are cashing in old receipts, like the Brust one we’ve had today for a decade, IU certainly owes us a home game senior day L.

This shot was definitely earned by the Brust and Gasser shots :rofl:

Rutgers fans want to run Mulcahy off for Simpson. if he wants to portal you bet your biggity buns I would take him

Random but Bartholomew is really down on Illinois. One spot ahead of Michigan

Not sure we have a spot for him but yeah the Simpson love was very message board-y. Freshman has one good game and suddenly he’s the shizz

he could start at the 3 next to Dug + Kobeth, plus back up the 1

he would unequivocally be an upgrade on JL

No we don’t. Not the sane ones anyway. Rutgers basketball fans are either ancient (students during the 70s when the team was good) or young alumni/students, either way it’s… not the most rational crowd.

Speaking of Barttorvik, there is finally a real NCAA tournament team with a resume similar to Michigan’s. It was 2016 Vanderbilt, who lost in a play-in game, but hey there is a foundation for Michigan’s resume to be NCAA worthy!

Gonna claim victory here and ignore everything else.

More about the fit. He’s kind of a PG. But also not really providing any spacing for Kobe or Dug.

Kenneth is higher on both Ill and Mich. 34 to Mich’s 41

I thought we all changed our minds to agree that percentage >>> volume. he is a 40% 3pt shooter on 40 attempts this year. #sniper
