Agreed. I have to say, I think Michigan would destroy Miss St. (I've watched a few of their games and they're atrocious), but I'd much rather they be in than Michigan!

Tightness can make a difference. Looking at the bounces thus far in the tourney, it does seem the rims are bolted on a bit firmer compared to a lot of the B10 venues I've seen. Makes for unforgiving bounces if you don't hit it pure.
Well the fact that they lost last night to Montana State in the Championship Game (game tipped at 10:30 pm CT) certainly doesn't bode well for their chances.
I think it's not uncommon for kids to shoot worse in NBA arenas, they are bigger stadiums than they are used to playing in, it messes with their depth perception a little.

Talk about lousy hire.
These refs are so bad they missed Murry actually out of bounds and then when he threw it in they said he kicked it....
I've always wondered why adjusting the rims was not part of pre-game planning. Playing a team that shoots lots of 3s compared to you? Tighten the rim. Playing a team that mostly goes inside (compared to you)? Loosen the rim. Adjust your own game plan with that knowledge.
Is this against some rule that I've never seen? Both teams are playing on the same rims.

If Michigan gets an at-large bid to the tournament this year they would be the first 15 loss team to make it with less than 19 wins. Going back basically forever. There were 2 fifteen loss teams to make it with 19 wins in 2018 and 2019. Alabama and Florida.
However, in their favor, they made it last year at 17-14 which was nearly a record.

This has been some type of ending in the OSU-Iowa game... I'm not sure I've seen that many changes of possession in a 10 second period of time.

I think there's a decent argument that Murray knocked the ball away and the Ohio State player fouled Murray by falling on him before Murray stepped out. That's what I would be up in arms about if I were an Iowa fan, anyway.
I hate Iowa…with a passion.
But twice tOSU fouled them during those scrums with like 20 seconds left. And the refs swallowed their whistles.
Let’s see if Iowa can recover.
NOPE! And I love it.

And the *uckeyes move on . . . . I guess the advanced stats might know something about tOSU . . .
OSU's end to their regular season and BTT tourney run reminds me more than a bit of our run as an 11 seed back in '98-'99. They're playing a lot better ball and starting to come around and show off their talent. They're still pretty sloppy and prone to long periods of dead play, but they're playing good ball. Deserving of this run for sure, and could be a top half of the B10 team next year.
Yeah bad losses but they’re comfortably in at this point.
Was thinking exactly the same thing. The idea of Holtmann being on the hot seat should shut right down if OSU supporters know what's good for them.
With how tight the Big Ten is, and how Ohio State's analytics put them right in the mix with the bulky middle and they just wildly underperformed, it's not unfathomable for them to win the Big Ten Tournament... but for the fact that their legs will be completely shot as they go up tomorrow against fresh team while playing their third game in three days (and so on from that point).
They are a "good" "bad" team. Iowa threw everything they had at them at the end of the game (except for making their shots
) and they still closed it out with ease. I have no idea how this was such a down year for them...the talent is thereExactly what I was thinking. It’s a bunch of freshman too just like the 99 Illini. They’ll be very tough the next few years
