there is a chance that big ten will have the top 2 offenses (Purdue and Illinois) and the top 2 defenses (Michigan and MSU) at some point this season. very likely top 5 each going into the tourney

Scrolling through it looks like we’ve been 240+ in luck for three years now. Not sure how to go about changing that, more sage?
Nebraska is not top 2 in the conference.

Anyone see Izzo have former Sparty player Paul Davis ejected last night, lol? Talk about embarrassing.
Izzo lip reading is fantastic....watching Paul Davis cramp up back in the day was always fun, glad to see he is hydrating himself now.

double fisting twisted teas like they are going out of business is usually not ideal
Be curious if Dana Altman decides to hang it up this year. 67 years old. There was some talk about how he needed to hang it up last year but they got hot and made it to tourney

I read that it was something about the ref's wife...but also, why the heck would you berate the ref when your team is up twenty points? Totally unhinged.
Brutal
The simple answer is winning more of the close games. Feels like in the non-con especially the last few seasons, we lose close games to Tennessee or Marquette or Arizona etc. We win close games but it’s basically saying if we played those games again, we probably come away with a better record. It’s basically like being favored to win a game by 6.5 and you lose by 2. I saw USC is 7th in luck and they looked bad last night. Seems like the wheels are falling the wagon for them soon.
I interpret luck when it comes to the Illini these past few years to mean we have great metrics but find ways to lose.
Cam Boozer's legs are some of the thickest I've ever seen on a freshman.
Louisville's Ryan Conwell is pulling a Pryce Sandfort right now against Duke. 3/3 from 3 in the first two minutes but he just missed a wide open layup and hit the deck hard and looks to have tweaked his wrist.

Then PSU goes ice cold.

1) Why do Michigan’s jerseys look black or at the least way off from their normal blue? Lol.
2) I honestly feel bad for diehard PSU hoops fans, because Bryce Jordan Center just seems like far and away the saddest home atmosphere in the league.

right after reading the posts...
Duke just went 0-4 from 3 on one possession. Half this board would be apoplectic if that were the Illini.
With 1 minute to go in the 1st half, the teams have taken a combined 36 3's out of 63 total FGs. These are two top 13 KenPom teams.

true, and i feel the same way about whatever ohio state's place is called. always feels at least 25% empty and just, i don't know, antiseptic? characterless?
3/4 of Penn States games to open B1G season have been to MSU, Michigan & Illinois… talk about a brutal opening schedule lol….
Lost to msu by just 4
Kept it sort of interesting with us
, they basically won that game based on the chatter on here
And they’ve kept it respectable with Michigan 25 minutes in.

I’m just never gonna be fully sold on a Cadeau / Burnett / Gayle backcourt.
Michigan 1st in opposing FG% thus far. While A LOT of that has to do with good defense, that does typically indicate some sort of regression.
