Big Ten Discussion

Six. All above 8 seed.

Said during our Minny game they aren’t a tournament team.

They might lose the rest of their games.

Lost 6 of 7 lately.

Might be the best thing for them long term if it means Pitino won’t be “coaching” them

Minnesota fired Tubby Smith for only making the Big Dance three times in six years. Now it’s Pitino’s sixth year and thus far he’s made the tournament . . . once. Hmmm.

Boy the McCaffery’s are a couple of wild men tonight. The son banging into people, picking up two quick fouls, argues with the ref and gets a T. A minute or two later Fran argues with the official and picks up a T. I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Iowa ain’t comin’ back tonight!

Liked me some Tubby, thought he got the shaft.

Justin Ahrens 6 of 10 from three, shootin’ it like Bohannen. Ahrens’ 29 points tonight are as many as he scored in his first 16 games this year!

I heard today they were the first team out according to Lunardi. But if they beat Purdue on March 5…hmmm…

Woah. I guess you don’t know Big Ten play is winding down until the yearly Fran McCaffrey/Iowa meltdown.

Fran is an absolute lunatic

Bad night for Fran. His team didn’t play well, and they lose by 20 to the Buckeyes, his kid gets a tech for arguing with a ref after an obvious foul against the kid, and Fran picks up a tech, too. But, of course it’s all the fault of the “cheating mother f’er,” the “f’ing disgrace” of a ref! OK…

Oops, I forgot…we’re not supposed to talk about refs on the forum! :wink:

(EDIT - oh, it was after the game. I was thinking was at halftime…)

Wisconsin down to IU in the second half. With the Iowa loss earlier and if Indiana holds on (big if) that would go a long way in securing a top 4 seed in the BTT if that has any value to anyone.

In fact I think Michigan would secure a top 3 seed with a win @Maryland regardless of what they do in the other 2 games.

Edit: Wisconsin goes on a run to close a 13 point deficit immediately after I posted this. Nevermind.

Indiana is so hard for me to watch. To be frank, I do not think they are a well-coached team.

Is damezi hurt? Never plays anymore.

Lol up 3, Indiana fouls Trice shooting a 3 with less than 10 seconds left… there is a reason this team has been so abysmal this year

What an insane season this has to be for Indiana fans. All the expectations, the terrible stretches and tonight they did everything possible to give that game away to Wisconsin. Thank god they held on. Just brutal.

Might be missing something but I think a win on Thursday would pretty much lock in a two-day bye for Michigan in Chicago after Wisconsin’s loss.
