The bottom of the B1G is suddenly more interesting now that Minnesota won twice. Nebraska needs this win to consider themselves tournament-worthy (NCAA tournament AND B1G tournament)

Pretty sure Barnheizer just broke his own nose hitting the floor after that completely uncontested dunk....

Couldn't hang on the rim to land safely. That has clearly been established as a technical.

Updated B1G efficiency metrics:

1737607754042.png


Notes:
- Now we have enough data to effectively order the teams and rely on these EM numbers. Michigan State continues to lead the pack, and have to be considered the favorites at this point.
- Purdue is hanging around, but the home loss to OSU hurts their title chances.
- Illinois is about to play a string of lower-half teams after tomorrow, need to pile up some wins to justify their overall good efficiency numbers.
- There are 6 teams clear of the field at this point, with USC still hanging around and building a tournament resume.
- Oregon has been a weird team this year, losing 3 home games and winning 4 road games.
- Ohio State and Northwestern are probably right near the NCAA tournament cut line at this point, so 11 B1G teams are tournament quality at this point.
- Indiana is a paper tiger, and should continue to fade now that they're actually playing good teams.
- PSU and Iowa have taken some bad losses to torpedo their tournament chances.
- Rutgers is still nowhere near a tournament team. However, they are at least giving themselves a chance to make the B1G tournament
- Nebraska is currently playing themselves out of what used to be a safe tournament spot. Another home loss tonight hurts a ton.
- Minnesota is currently not the worst team in conference! Still is a terrible loss to lose to them.
- Washington bringing up the rear here, and both Minnesota and Washington are still the favorites to miss the B1G tournament.

From the cheap seats
Watched parts of the Kansas State game. I felt a bit sad for Coleman. He looks like he’s a camp counselor playing with little kids. He’s trying to corral them, but it’s like herding cats. His frustration is evident. At times, it looked like he was the only one who really cared.
(This probably belongs in the former Illini thread. Sorry…)

It’s just K State fans wishing they had their 2 mil back

And CoHawk will never taste the NBA . He is still the same frustrating enigma he was 4 years ago.

“Hawkins gives K-State a winning presence coming off a season in which he was a standout on a team that made it to a regional final. He also provides swagger and a floor spacer in the Wildcats' offense, having shot 37% from 3-point range this past year. “

Standout and swagger? No, hell no!

Still can't believe how easy MSU's schedule is! Other than Illinois, they haven't beaten anyone good. They play most of the top teams once at home and all the bottom feeders away. It's just ridiculous. Only play Purdue, Oregon and Wisconsin once, and it's at home.

Having never been a ref, but having been a coach, there is a problem with ambiguous statements like "Profanity cannot be allowed." Profane to whom?

Profanity directed toward the officials. While I don't condone profane language in any professional setting, I can't stop coaches from doing it toward their own team if they choose to do so. That's really out of my jurisdiction.

I’m pretty sure the BU praise was a jab. I took it as sarcasm, and a way to give a backhanded compliment without a fine.
