Big Ten Basketball 2022-23 Discussion

yeah i got hustled into doing it by that comment. scrolled through the entire timeline and got sad

He called out Ant about some Akins stuff. DK going hard on Juwan being a terrible coach and not making the tourney with 2 NBA 1st round picks and Dickinson. Saying Juwan is failing Kobe.

“WHY DOESNT KOBE HAVE THE BALL LATE FOR MICHIGAN”

Kobe was 2 for 7 from the floor in the 2H and miraculously had the ball on the final play and fired it at Hunter’s back instead of shooting a prayer.

Can’t imagine a more measured pair to have the conversation than a Michigan program alum and an MSU homer

I’m sure great points are getting made both ways

DK is an odd duck. Dude acts like a reasonable state fan, but his true colors come out when the opportunity presents itself. Same goes with Spiro or really any “media member” with Spartan ties. Objectivity does not exist with them and that chip™ will never go away.

Super easy to pull receipts on anyone and make them look dumb, especially when you prognosticate as much as he does online. So nothing against him, I’m sure he’s a great guy, just thought it’d be fun cause somehow I knew searching Bufkin on his TL would produce some goodies. The change in tenor of his tweets about Bufkin pre and post commitment to Michigan is pretty funny

Haha oh no 100% fair game. He puts his takes out there for the world to see. He is definitely reasonable with his UM/MSU talk off the record to me, but sometimes he can’t help himself and occasionally becomes a major MSU homer pandering to his followers

This is one take that has zero chance at redemption. I wouldn’t be surprised if Pierre transfers after this season while Kobe becomes an NBA draft pick

People are often wrong about recruit projections!

I am never wrong

Especially when their evaluation of recruits is primarily saying how great the recruits that go to their school are.

Not even really a recruiting thing, just a thing that happens on social media at this point.

The fan-sphere of twitter and social media content is definitely a new niche that I don’t completely understand :rofl:

If only we ever got to witness @umhoops get in the middle of a debate between msu and Michigan twitter

I truly don’t understand either side, or what these troll-y debates are about. Boggles my mind.

Honestly, saying Akins/Brooks/Christie were better than Bufkin/Collins/Houstan doesn’t strike me as nuts at the time. Akins/Christie may have been better than Collins/Houstan!

I mean, Bufkin was always a better prospect than Brooks. In high school, I was probably a bit higher on Akins than Bufkin. That’s all I was getting at. You also just lose credibility if you always say whatever party you are related to is better than others.

But really had no interest in digging that debate up. Just find the sort of hysterical yelling about this between UMISGREAT321 and SPARTANSABC that goes back and forth online a fascinating subplot of the internet.

With Wisconsin playing on Weakling Wednesday, I wanted to see if there has ever been a team playing on Wednesday that actually made the tourney. It looks like the answer is no, but in 2020 Indiana played (and won) on Wednesday and was a projected 10 seed on Bracket Matrix, appearing in 95 of 97 brackets.

Crazy to finish in the bottom 4 of the Big Ten and make the tournament (if Wisconsin pulls it off)
