Is anyone hearing anything on whether the Friday game against Michigan will be postponed?
Coward and his buddy Kevin Warren are likely discussing this right now.Is anyone hearing anything on whether the Friday game against Michigan will be postponed?
Exactly. The winner of this conference will get the advantages in the NCAA tournament. On another note, I have watched Purdue play several times this season and I'm not very impressed so far for what everyone thought they should be.
I think they are a bit less than the sum of their parts. That’s likely because they never have their 3 most impactful players on the court at the same time. The flip side is that they always have an excellent center out there.Exactly. The winner of this conference will get the advantages in the NCAA tournament.

Ha! I wonder which fan base that guy calls home.
Yeah, I think a lack of hatred of Purdue is very common among Illini fans. The portion of the fan base that would be the closest to Purdue fans (i.e., Eastern IL and whatever Illini fans reside in Western IN) have the Hoosiers to hate and share that bond with PU, while fans in other areas hate other teams more (e.g., hating Iowa in the Quad Cities or Mizzou in the Metro East).I see where you are coming from, but I still have enjoyed watching them play. I really have minimal I'll content for that program.
Plus painter is a generally likeable guy and they don't generally play dirty.Yeah, I think a lack of hatred of Purdue is very common among Illini fans.

Also interesting that the one who spent the least time coaching under Keady turned out to be the best coach of the bunch.
I think a 1 seed is tough. Baylor and Gonzaga look pretty unlikely to lose their 1-2 spots, so that leaves 2 slots to compete for. Maybe if we end up with 17 or 18 conference wins and win the tourney? That's a tall order, but I'm just not sure the Big Ten is in nearly as good a position to get a 1-seed this year as last near.Probably super unlikely at this point but how many conference wins do you think it would take for us to get a 1 seed again? 18? 19? 20? Obviously the Big Ten Tournament plays a role as well.
I'd argue we weren't really in that much better of a position at this time last year for a one seed than we are right now. Ap ranking aside, the wins just weren't there yet.I think a 1 seed is tough.

I think the key differences last year were we had a tougher out of conference schedule and the Big Ten was better as well. That meant a lot more quality wins. That's why I think we'd have to do a win or two better in conference play than we did last year.I'd argue we weren't really in that much better of a position at this time last year for a one seed than we are right now.

Another finish to the season like last year and we will get a one seed. But I agree with your win totals and a conf tournament championship. Perhaps 18 wins and an appearance in the title game does it for us, assuming the team who wins doesn't take a 1 seed as well.

Baylor and Gonzaga are pretty much locks at this point again for a 1 seed, so we would need to jump a lot of a very good teams for two more spots, who are all going to be winning big games themselves. I'm guessing we finish up as a 4 seed.I think the key differences last year were we had a tougher out of conference schedule and the Big Ten was better as well. That meant a lot more quality wins.

More of a weed, but a useful one. Like, say, a rhubarb.Does Weber have a tree now?
