Jeez, Penn State has 15 to NW 4 TOs and wins.

And Purdue had to ruin the most topsy-turvy BTT ever by actually *winning a game they were supposed to*.
Given the parity, either the B1G is going to do really well in the NCAAs or bomb completely.
NW lost both games to PSU by 1 possession in OT (both games basically at the buzzer)

Barnhizer will be a problem for the B1G the next few years.

Tough to say. The B1G generally had a good non-conference season, outside of the Big 12 and maybe SEC. Beating up each other in conference does not necessarily mean the league as a whole is not good.
Pundits will have a clear answer next week. If the B1G flops again, then many will say the league was trash, but there are a number of B1G teams that can get hot and make S16.
I will refrain from making any judgment for now.

That is absolutely the truth. Thanks for that!
And once the B1G gets into conference play, everyone knows their opponents inside and out. A lot of very very bright coaches in the conference, there are no bad teams.

I agree with you for the general strategy. However, it was clear (at least to me) that Buie would be running into a rythym 3 if the foul was not taken when it was.
The percentage game almost beat Penn State.
What is the reason for that being disallowed? I don't understand.
i don't get it either. it's not like it's an easier shot to make. Google says the NBA rule is "any ball that rebounds or passes directly behind the backboard, in any direction is considered out of bounds" so I guess it applies to the college game too

Rules 7-1-3 and 9-3-2 of the NCAA Basketball Rules Book, which both state, "The ball shall be out of bounds when any part of the ball passes over the backboard from any direction."

Thanks for this. The rule is the rule. I just don't understand the reasoning behind it. The shot is being taken from a legal, in bounds location on the court.

Agreed man. Let teams try to take that shot if they want. It doesn’t hurt anything and provides for some good highlights. Such a stupid do nothing rule.
Looking more like an Indiana vs. Purdue title game at this point
I have never seen so many players slipping and sliding on these floors in games and not just in Chicago. Is it the shoes, stickers on the floors,or ice underneath the floors. It really seems to be happening more and more often. I’m glad no one has been hurt so far
Higher-seeded teams *not* from Indiana just cannot catch a break in this tournament!
We let Indiana take over Chicago

I don't know if I can handle two Indiana teams playing for a championship in Illinois
