We'd be a mess if we had made it into the B1G championship game. Last year's team had deep runs because they had a massive strength and conditioning advantage. It's also why they had so many late comeback wins.

Also, an additional hurdle if we had made this game ... High Knees.

We also had a guy who was pouring 30 points in on the regular in that tournament.

Both of the teams in the Championship games look like a mess too. 3 days in a row will do that. (4 for Wisconsin)

Florida defeated Tennessee 86-77 to win the SEC Tournament.

VCU defeated George Mason 68-63 to win the A-10 Tournament. It is the Rams' first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2023.

We've had our defensive issues but my God, watching the title game in 30's post halftime, I do not miss the offensive struggle. Also, give me Blackwell all day.

B1G Championship Game

If this is what the B1G championship game looks like, the B1G is toast next week.

I just don’t think you can put a lot of stock in any of these conference tournament finals. I’m watching the St. John’s game from last night, and both teams looked gassed as well.

In an age where we have so much sport science data and emphasis on recovery, we still make a big deal of these tournaments where teams play 3-4 games in as many days. But money obviously talks.

 

[DeeIL89]

Not shock one bit that the Big Ten put High knees to officiate the final of the BIG tournament final. Lol.

 

[The Sprouting Divot]

Dain doesn't look gassed.

Well at any rate, I can’t really root for either Wisconsin or Michigan to win, but I think I want Michigan to lose more than I want Wisconsin to lose.

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

Tonje settling for way too many threes.

 

[PleaseMakeABowlGame]

they gotta be quicker with these reviews . seriously, why would you need 5 minutes to see how that was SO CLEARLY off Wolf's foot? An ant could see.

This is where I'm at. I've met fewer a-holes that graduated from Wisconsin than Michigan, too.

 

[Illini2010-11]

These reviews need to get expedited somehow. This last one should be buzzed in from a video referee and not even need a 2 minute review.

 

[Illini IndyCar Fan]

Wisconsin was so exhausted they couldn't even catch up and foul after they missed the shot.

 

[azillini1]

Who would have predicted that Michigan would go from the dumpster fire they were last year to winning the Big Ten tournament. Proof that a good coach can make a big difference. Although I always root against Michigan, Kudos to them

 

[Fly Illini Fly!]

That win vs Michigan now looks really, really good.

You know how to tell if someone graduated from Michigan?

Don’t worry- they’ll tell you.

It's basically a free time out after every play nowadays. I'd think smart coach will alter their time out calling strategy knowing that they don't need them as much at the end of games.

 

[KBLEE]

Goldin got the Edey treatment from the refs.

 

[New Creation]

Dusty May. I know Indiana is wishing they hired this guy last year. Wisconsin has to feel sick to their stomachs. Back to back years losing in the title game.

 

[Illini2010-11]

That win vs Michigan now looks really, really good.

It looked really, really good two weeks ago as well.

 

[DeeIL89]

Lol! Indiana really blew it not getting Dusty. Keeping Woodson for this season only to have him announced he's stepping down and not even waiting for the season to end to even announce it. Lol.
