Big Ten Basketball 2022-23 Discussion

Probably will end up keeping it for two months because the Lipscomb game is also on BTN+.

Unfortunately yes. The Big Ten+ rep said they don’t do any sort of short-term promotions (like the one last year where I bought a pass to watch the scrimmage), and I forgot to ask about free trials. Maybe a free trial option could work??

I am pretty sure that if you can log in to the UMich VPN, then you get access to BTN+. Feel free to correct me tho!

If you go on Ant Wright’s twitch that he’ll almost certainly do, you’ll see it there.

Yes but you lose a lot when watching a basketball game on mute.

Not sure how much you lose on mute when watching BTN+. It’s usually pretty rough

Not sure if this has been discussed but Hood-Schifino looks like a capital D Dude and it’s altering the way I view IU already

Hood-Schifino is gonna get buckets. I think the swing question is whether he shoots 43% from the field and 20% from 3 or is efficient.

Yeah I’m already a little scared that JHS will make us all look foolish re: IU. He’s getting TONS of hype rn. If he’s just flat out better than Xavier Johnson that changes things

You also lose a lot when you have to listen to Ant Wright say ``Get it!" nine times in a row.

Highlights just from one game but his shot looks way further along than everybody said it would be in the offseason

He shot 13/47 from 3 at MonteVerde in 18 games. Didn’t shoot much in EYBL either. I don’t see much of a universe where he’s a plus shooter this year because he went 3/3 in a single exhibition game (after going 0/2 in the other one)

I tend to agree but that pull up 3 off the dribble is a little eyebrow-raising. He takes a lot of off balance stuff that requires pretty good touch for a supposed total non-shooter

that’s just a picture :frowning:

I tried to copy/paste three different IG links and couldn’t get it to format somehow. It’s from FrankieVision’s page.

Cool I’ll look it up.

Obv the shooting would be surprising, but Sam Vecenie keeps saying NBA scouts loved him in practices and so Sam is all in on IU. Now Sam’s preseason NCAA picks are too NBA draft potential focused usually so I’ve kept some skepticism of that but taking all the stuff into account, it has me questioning my preseason IU thoughts

Also it makes me sad Woodson of all people got a 5* guard his first try and Juwan has tried every year and never gotten one

Watching some of the IU game from last night and XJ just threw a behind the back pass out of bounds in transition before the U16. Solid.

Was watching the exhibition game listening to Ant Wright and he was saying some of his Spartan guys are ā€œannoyed and pissedā€ because Izzo basically scheduled the hardest non-conference in recent memory and is too stubborn to expand his roster and use all 13 scholarships. 10 total guys with 1 of them not being good enough for his HS first team and another batting a foot injury. I know it’s nothing new but now looking at their schedule just hits again. Incredible arrogance. Keep choppin, Tom!

4 of their first 5 games are against KenPom top 20 teams.
