1/17 Games

[lstewart53x3]

Doesn’t need to be said, but I’ll say it:

MSU is fantastic at home. Up 20 against Wisconsin at the moment.

Michigan @ Iowa coming up next. Should be a good one.

 

[RedRiver24]

I had totally forgotten, or didn't know, that Demitri McCammey is 3rd all time in B1G assists.

 

[CentralILLini]

Dayton/Billikens a good one as well

 

[CentralILLini]

Wow, what a finish!

 

[LostinNebraska]

Garza chewing up Michigan again... Nice to see us having a shot at sole possession of 2nd place again tomorrow. For some reason I thought Iowa was also in the current logjam at the top.

 

[RedRiver24]

Weird, another game in the 40's at halftime in the B1G.

 

[Hopingfor500]

Iowa/Michigan is starting to get a little chippy.

Nice to see Iowa still has that a$$clown fan courtside that is ALL OVER the refs

 

[Hopingfor500]

The refs have to reel this one in a little bit. The T on Howard is going to be the start of them trying to stop the extracurriculars.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Second half foul differential had something to do with that outburst... Now the pendulum will swing back the other way

 

[Hopingfor500]

Foul shooting:

Iowa 21-24
Michigan 2-2

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

I will always hate Michigan more than any other, but man the refs don’t make it easy to win on the road. The foul disparity is just silly.

 

[Fighter of the Nightman]

I am definitely just still traumatized from being at both the game in Iowa City AND at the United Center last year ... but we REALLY need to avoid letting Iowa hit too many 3s on us. If we can stop them from getting hot from beyond the arc and play lockdown defense, we can definitely beat them. I think Kofi can take Garza.

We’ve got one too, she is standing constantly yelling and motioning like she just drank a six pack of 5 hour energies.

Assuming we take care of business vs. the Mildcats and pick up the W tomorrow, that sole possession might only last a day. Rutgers plays Minnesota at home on Sunday, and I think they'll win.

 

[LostinNebraska]

Admittedly, some of the differential is how much of a jump shooting team Michigan is, but the number of uncalled moving screens on Iowa is ridiculous.

 

[RedRiver24]

Quite a game to watch.

 

[IllinistuckinGopherland]

Assuming Iowa wins, that’s over 86% home wins in BT conference play. That’s absolutely incredible. Big Ten: home of the best fans in college basketball, and the worst officiating.

That's just Fran McCaffery.

 

[Berg88]

In two games against Michigan this year, Garza had 77 pts on 25/44 fg and 21/26 ft. I bet he is hoping to meet then in the tournament.

Iowa is indeed in that logjam at the top. And while it's certainly difficult to predict, the 5 teams I foresee falling to the bottom are:

14. NW
13. NEB
12. IND
11. MIN
10. PSU

MSU stands alone at the very top based upon what I've seen. Spots 2-9 constitute the logjam. Will be interesting to see how everything plays out over the next 7-8 weeks!

Honestly, I see OSU falling before Penn State. If they lose today, that's 2-5. They're highly thought of given how they played in November/Early December. Not very impressive since.

Our story will start to unfold today. If we avoid that bad loss today and can secure one of those two next week....we'll be off and running.

But she's OUR a$$clown.
