Don’t forget to cancel B1G+ if you haven’t already, so you don’t get stuck paying for it for another month.
I'm liking the Big Ten + channel because it lets me watch the Illini Women's basketball team. They're a fun team to watch and have some great three point shooters and drivers to the basket. They need more agile, mobile, and hostile bigs but they're scrappy.

I'm going to keep Big Ten + around for a while!

Thank you. I'll check in on your updates in the WBB thread once a month.

I wish we wouldn't schedule so many cupcakes ranked in the 300+ range. Schedule more in the 200-300 range for the first two and then some in the 150-200 range for the rest.

These kinds of games are snoozers, especially after playing several big time games.
Would like to see schools like Western, Southern, Bradley and IL State scheduled. Use to be said they can't be brought in because of recruiting. Shouldn.t be an issue now or in the future.

Whats the easiest way to cancel subscription? Went to the app and there is no option to cancel, only to add to it... upon further review, just figured out that you must log in online to un subscribe and not the app....

Hard pass. Some of those are okay but I really am sick of all these games in the early season where I don't even feel like the team hardly learns anything because it's over 6 minutes into the game and then they are just cruising. Play a few of those early (like 2 of them) and then play a few real games like this year. If more cupcakes are required, schedule a higher class of cupcakes that will at least help stress the system and keep the team pushing.

If you're on iOS I think they just run it through iTunes, don't they? If you have an iPhone you just go to settings, then the Apple ID menu (like the very first thing in settings), and there's a menu of subscriptions that should have your BTN+ account listed.

I have no idea how to access it from other platforms, unfortunately, but assume that there's a similar way of getting there if you're on an Android phone.

Totally agree. Play one of them a year. Give me a cupcake with sprinkles.

As a season ticket holder, I feel that I am paying to see 10 B1G games. Except for the Sycruase game, I could not sell my non-conference tickets and had a hard time giving them away. I am considering giving up my season tickets and buying single-game tickets when the tickets go on sale to IFUND members. Even some of the B1G games are not very good so buying single-game tickets will probably be more cost-effective.

Most people buy season tickets to go to the games and not sell half of them…

What a shame this game is on B1G+. I refuse to pay for that ridiculous money grab scheme. Is the $1.2B network deal just not quite enough you need to squeeze a few more pennies from us loyal fans, Big Ten???? (I know the deal doesn't begin until July) Yet another insult from the out of touch conference bumblers.

Anyway enough griping, go Illini! Get tuned up, build the confidence back up, and get ready for an epic beatdown of Syracuse on Tuesday. I will wait and watch that one and the remainder of the schedule.
It's less than a Big Mac combo at McD's.

BU pulled no punches about who or what needs to improve for us to reach our ceiling........called out RJ on rebounding and others on how they need to adjust to the game flow.........you can tell he enjoys talking about Sincere's effort , but I also see how well he moves his feet on D.......and even though he gets fouls called on him , he doesn't back down ........sure wish he had received some tick in the 2nd half of the cav game..........

You should see what he says to RJ behind closed doors lol.

I’d also, like to see less cupcakes rather than more; 2-3 sounds plenty good to me.

I see absolutely no reason why a Bradley or a SIU Carbondale, or even ISU wouldn’t be an improvement over juggernauts like Monmouth or UMKC. (most years that is)

We did throw a bone to Eastern and Quincy in the exhibition…so that already satisfies the local cupcakes theme somewhat I guess. Hell, how about Loyola? I hear they stink. ;)

The part about the press…yikes.
I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.
He said he was “distraught.” I can see why…it took a whole a half to merely
get into the press. A whole half? Huh?

I know we’re young, we have disparate pieces, and we’re in the coming together phase. I also know Virginia is: experienced, very well-coached, and usually a disciplined machine…But if it takes that long to simply get a press set up…that is definitely problematic for sure…almost unbelievable.

Don’t get me wrong I believe we have immense talents. I’m just in disbelief a little bit over that.

Yes! Sounds, too, like Sencire is the Devon Witherspoon of the BB team in terms of… let’s call it ‘chatting up’ opponents. 😁 Hope he’s careful not to get T’d up for it at some point. Heaven forbid he say anything loco, like “Cash!” for example.

Also, I nominate CoHawk for the ‘22-23 Curbelo Fan Polarizer Award. To qualify, a player has to draw frequent and vehement fan ire, regardless his overall productivity and impact on winning - and despite praise and confidence from the coaching staff.

That should be the DMFW Fan Polarizer Award.

A worthy alternative, indeed. I’d still give the nod to AC, based on sum total of vitriolic posts.
I guess that’s part of the fun w/r/t sports - and this forum - debates are sparked.
So long as it’s civil, of course… 🧡💙
