Orange Krush Class of 2013
- Rochester, MN
Here are the updated charts after the last week of games:
BIG Predictions
Not sure where we are at with all the tie-breakers, but if we can pull out one or two unexpected wins in the last few weeks we've got a chance to finish outside of the bottom 4 (see updated table).
The loss to NW really hurt (especially considering the ending), but we seem to be playing better as of late so hope springs eternal!
My hope:
*Nebraska loses out -- finish 6-12
*NW loses to Mich and then wins out -- finish 8-10
*Illinois beats Minn, PSU, and upsets one other -- finish 7-11
*PSU beats Nebraska and Rutgers and loses the rest -- finish 5-13

Updated charts as of Monday (before last night's games).
Penn State upset tonight? Up by 7 at half. Would probably change the charts quite a bit.

PSU takes down Iowa, so yes, this will change a fair amount
Very possible. They don't have any easy ones left. I could see them finishing the season 0-4 to be honest.
Every once in awhile I'll peek over on the scout board and I saw a thread from last week with an Iowa fan who was legitimately trying to compare this Iowa team to the '05 Illini. He even went as far as to say that Uthoff is a better college player than Dee, Luther, and Deron. :crazy:
I wholeheartedly agree with that fan...and Swaggy P is a greater player than Kobe ever was.
Hawks are good, but they peaked too early. Eventually they were due for a swoon.
I should add that he went through and compared every starter individually. He said Clemmons and Jok vs DWill and Luther was basically a toss up
Not sure but I believe he also tried to imply that Woodbury had the advantage over Augustine. He said Iowa's bench of Baer, Uhl, and Wagner was better than McBride, Ingram, and Smith. The '05 Illini would smoke this Iowa team by 30+. Hopefully they lose out which is a real possibility now.

I believe somewhere in the middle of these two thoughts lies a truer answer.

Imagine Dee Brown today with the no contact rules that are in place starting this year. Nobody could stay in front of him. He would average 20 free throws a game.

Never thought of that. Dee in todays game would be insane.
Another big upset. I guess nobody wants to win the conference this year.
I do

Is something wrong with the Maryland team? They lose to Minnesota tonight. Get pounded by Wisconsin at home the last game. Pull out games late at home against nortwestern and Penn St. With the talent they have, hard to understand. They had some players leave a couple years ago, maybe something wrong internally?

Stone was suspended for last night's game, that may have had some impact.
We know the "actual reason", slamming Vito Brown's head into the court during the Wisconsin game.
They go as Melo goes. He's been terrible lately.
He was suspended for the bush league move he did last weekend.
A Northwestern win @Michigan would really hurt our chances at getting out of the top 4. Down by 3 with 4 min left.
