The implication of Brad telling us Mirk isn't playing tomorrow is that he is likely game to game.

These modern guys aren't tough enough. I once played (h.s. game) two days after I rolled my ankle and ended up with a nasty sprain, all swollen black and blue. Remember when Efrem played at Kentucky a couple days after the same thing happened to him? That was an NCAA tournament game, elite eight I think, We got screwed in that game in so many ways. Just for starters, we had to play Kentucky on their home floor.

I had no idea that there would be an alt cast with MLT and Andy Katz, thanks for the intel.

As much as I want to hear some of the most respected CBB analysts call the game, there’s something about listening to the college guys try to kick it over to the girl on the floor where they’ll inevitably bungle figuring out how to turn her audio on that I’ll miss.

Yeah, I'm torn as well. Did some ads at the college station back in the day, and there's something magical about the attempt at professionalism you get from those places. Some of them become legends! Schmack! Am I right?

Back to basketball... One tidbit from Brad I found interesting was him saying he was going to be playing a lot of people anyway, so he's going to look at more combinations than random substitutions. Whether that happens much as the season goes on remains to be seen, but that seems notably different from the philosophy of playing your best 5 guys and subbing as needed. Speaks to how much talent he believe he has.

I think BU's substitution comments speak mainly to this being an exhibition and the season having not yet started.

Mirk is ready to play but there is no point in him taking the risk and playing in an exhibition game. Easy decision.

Hopefully. On the other hand, I am sure someone from the press will ask him about Mirk every single time Brad holds a press conference or interview. Not disagreeing. Kind of a chicken-and-egg situation, maybe?

Beautiful day to bury my head in Big Ten Plus and pretend my worst nightmare isn't going down on Fox

104-78 good guys. Baylor’s guards have trouble guarding our jumbo sharp shooters on the perimeter which also opens up a ton of off ball cutting and slashing, and Baylor’s mid-tier defense doesn’t have an answer. Our defense is much more cohesive with a limited scout on Baylor but not yet in final form.

This begins the questions about the lethality of Florida’s offense, and this paired with a lackluster performance against Miami leads Florida to dropping 2 spots in the AP poll, setting up a 1 vs 2 matchup at Cameron indoor on 11/17.

So Big Ten Plus offers Pay Per View on games now. Anyone have any idea if the ppv games are not included in the 1 month subscriptions?

According to this on bigten.org, some (but not all) of the October exhibition games -- including the Baylor at Illinois game -- are "Available as pay-per-view" for $8.99, on the bigtenplus.com website only (not the app). (I haven't seen anything about ppv on bigtenplus.com but I've already paid a subscription, and I'm not going to register a new account to investigate this issue :) )

Anyone who has an account and has not paid a subscription feel free to login and go to this page on bigtenplus.com and see if there's a pay-per-view option.

Note- according to the link on bigten.org ppv is only for the Baylor game, none of the other IL games on B1G+ have a ppv option.

Is the "Alt-Cast" included in a ppv? I don't know. I searched around the B1G+ Help Center and found nothing about a ppv. So in conclusion, good luck & Go Illini

Fox owns 61% of Big Ten network and it’s a greedy, convoluted !!!! show. It should not be so difficult or costly to watch a college exhibition game.

Help me understand? The PPV option 8.99 is only for the Baylor/Illinois game? No other games included?

No, it is on FM. Volleyball is on 1400.

Are you saying it is on WDWS FM, or something else? If something else, what station/frequency?
