Big Ten Basketball 2022-23 Discussion

I’m pretty sure I’ve big-brained myself into picking Purdue to win the conference. I don’t feel good about it.

If it makes you feel better I have small-brained myself into thinking Purdue will stink this year. So they will be really good.

You really think this is the year Chris Collins puts it all together?

Edit: just read the article, and it makes this comment even better

5 players for media day? Why didn’t they just send the whole team?

To be fair, Michigan sent three: Jace, Hunter and Jaelin.

2-3 seems like the appropriate number. Did any other team send 5?

Iowa sent 4. Not saying that it isn’t funny, but there are always some funny choices along the way I’d say.

Way too many McCafferys. I’m surprised they didn’t find a way to bring the one still in high school :rofl:

Sending Akins is corny

Sending Jace is _____?

If MSU is good this year, Akins likely has to be one of their better players I’d say.

Jace is a captain at least. And they’re only sending 3. They’re already sending 4 very stablished guys, tossing Akins in there is just to make him happy

Based on what? Does going to Big Ten Media Day matter to players to the extent that it would “keep them happy”?

To me it just kind of shows the problem with MSU. There’s no obvious Media Day guy.

This feels like that’s exactly what it is. Make Akins feel like he’s being included as one of those top guys on the team. Otherwise, don’t you cut off the number of players that you are sending somewhere short of 5?

There were rumors last year that Akins wasn’t happy with his role and minutes. Feels like they are trying to make him happy in year 2.

Just feels like a stretch to creative some sort of narrative to me.

Poor Jamison Battle and Zach Edey have to eat lunch by themselves.

To be fair, Edey is worth three regular sized human beings.
